Recommended Posts


I'm running GV-NVR 8.5.7.0 on windows 8.

 

Although I am a lite user. I only have 1 3MP camera monitoring the cashier.

 

No problems yet.

minor issues, but so far so good on win8 running on a dell xps8500

 

geovision did break the cpu graphs in task manager causing them all to show 100%, you can see the true cpu utilization looking & the details tab of task manager & watching the system-idle-processes counter. i reinstalled windows & got graph working again, but immediately after installing geovision again, the graphs broke.

 

also couldn't access the webcam server after enabling it. had to go to windows firewall, delete webcam svr & http server, then add webcam server by specifying the path (c:\gv-900a\webcamserver.exe in my case) & enabling both public & private nets. the issue may have been having firewall rules for both webcam svr & http svr. so deleting the http server may have done the trick.

When it comes to something like a security DVR, I always use what is known to be proven. GV is early with its use of win8, and I use different geovision software that they sell, and tried it with win8, and it was nothing but a nightmare. I ended dumbing down my PCs to win7. Just like their updates/upgrades, I usually let them be out for a while and see how they run. The last thing I want is a DVR to crash or not be recording because of the OS.
