First time reading this thread.

Hi, guys!

Fun stuff, and everybody is right.

I am neither for or against this new HD-SDI technology.

Maybe some images will give refreshing sense.

Connection image is capture with 720p HD-SDI camera connected to HD-SDI DVR.

Thanks, Rory.

I am looking into it. If it works, it'd be spectacular!

Hello,

this is Andy from NetPromax.

Thanks for using NetPromax products.

Unfortunately FX series does not work on Mac.

You will need Parallel+Windows Full version to run FX client on Mac. (Must have Intel CPU)

There is currently no plan for Mac integration.

FYI, Parallel is a must-have app for Mac in my opinion, and this is still cheaper than having DVR that has Mac-compatible client software. (Which may not be as good anyways)

For any question, post here.

thank you.

Great Advice. It's not scary enough though. Laws, late payment, unsatisfied customer, irregular cycle of CCTV demand, etc...

FX Series Server Live GUI

Hello, people.

Which one is good for 16 channel audio.

I specifically want the dealer to use Louroe.

Any input will be appreciated.

Thank you.

FX client requires 1024x768 32 bit resolution on XP/2000.

There is unknown compatibility with Vista. On some versions of Vista it works fine, but not on all. We are currently working on fix.

Yes, it does use overlay / directDraw, but even without it, it should show images (A little degraded) on remote client.

Check on the server if you enabled hiding cameras for specific user name.(Setup->Network->Edit on Remote Access users)

It should work.

If necessary, you might have to reset settings on client.

PM me for instruction on that.

This is power issue.

That location might be doomed to have this problem.

Get 1.5Amp transformer, and connect just one camera next to DVR. Short cable to test it.

If it's still the same with this test, the camera's internal power is not up to task, and might have come from defective line of production.

it happens.

Netpromax works on dynamic IP.

since 2002. with dedicated DDNS.

Please contact directly to Netpromax, and we will figure it out.

By the way, can you give model number of the card?

Our card program is not promoted to the public, and is available only to the security integrators who ask fo it.

You will still get direct support until there is some resolution.

I apologize if you had difficulty contacting us.

Please contact me ASAP.

-----------------------

DVR spec requirement MUST be matched!

Intel CPU

Intel Chipset 800 series

ATI Radeon 7000 or better

256 MB RAM minimum.

Remove all applications.

Remove zonealarm. Disable Windows firewall or open ports 2002-2004 in windows firewall.

If you have XP SP2, it is safe to trust router's firewall.

Networking relatively easy with Netpromax. Please call or email.

The thing is they have to use PC based DVR to integrate security camera, interview room cameras, and network it.

I have not seen any DVR that records audio in sync without any delay, including ours which gives 0.5 to 1 second delay.

I was wondering if anyone had experience with interview room for court or police, and what equipment used.

What will be a good solution for police interview room?

The problem is audio has to be syncronized perfectly with time lapsed video.

Back to VCR? or DVD recorder?

I will appreciate for any idea.

Thanks.

Please post any question regarding Netpromax DVR system.

Card solution program is rapidly growing in the Mid and East US regions.

Please post any question.

Thank you.

This is Andy from Netpromax.

Post any question regarding Netpromax systems.

Thanks.

I would like to hear some opinions on Netpromax boards. Good and bad.

Thanks for the tips.

I am recommending to my dealers. I will post if I get response.

Thanks.

Mostly dome cameras.

Yes, VST, that's exactly how I tell them to install.

Can dome cover be waxed? Will it work?

Thank you.

I need some advice please.

How would you deal with condensation of water and oil on camera lenses, especially in restaurant kitchens.

My opinion was regular cleaning.

I am looking for any alternative.

Thank you guys.

There is one issue to look into. Most of DVR software including client software have frame transmission limit. You must contact manufacturer to see what the limitation is. Total frame number that can be streamed is usually between 10 to 60. It depends on manufacturers.

Whether it's Winnov or others, Digital encoding assumes video signals are in color. B & W image in analog recording gives better resolution, but it can be quite opposite in digital process, unless software was built with B & W feature.

Video Insight is better than Geo.

Software running DVR is better.

Not about the bells and whistles, and numbers.

It is written with better stability, and the cards from Video Insight produces better picture quality in same hardware environment.

Tech support is major strength as well.

If you want a solid system, build with Insight.

We have released XE-1032, 32 Channel 240/240 DVR in April.

We have not had any product related RMAs since.

Are you using LAN IP? or WAN IP?

I would prefer using LAN connection which reduces disconnection..

1. FX CLient is required to connect and view

2. Auto login feature is not available in current version. You can set up groups with different camera settings. Add new site with one of the DVR IPs. (This probably will become group 4) Go to set up, and configure cameras from any of 3 DVRs. On the right top you will see group pullout box. Once you make connections to all 3 DVRs and the 4th one with custom conf, you can switch between these groups. Do the same for alternate configuration. This is useful to view only significant areas for monitoring. Another option will be multiple clients. You can launch as many client software as possible, and you can drag them around on screen. If you have multiple monitors, you can view various sets of cameras on all the clients launched.

3. We did not build any timeout in software. Disconnection msg pops only when the connection is too slow or lost. Let me know if you set it up with LAN or WAN IP.

Thanks.

GUI design was major spark toward our success.

Simplicity is the key.

As mentioned it is a good idea to hide advanced features.

Beneath the surface needs solid mechanism that takes less resource and deliver image properly.

A few things to consider in building software.

Analog-> Digital conversion

Converted digital video -> Live feed with no loss of frame

-> Recording with no loss of frame

(Buffering has to be well considered)

Motion trigger : What scale of sensor grid? How to draw motion sensing zone? Pre- or Post- motion recording? CPU and OS handling? Time sync?

etc...

I will send snapshot of our GUI if you PM.
