Oh, she's real, and ALL WOMEN...I make her dust my clock once a day with her handy duster/lens cleaner

I haven't seen one made especially for cleaning lenses or housings but you could custom make something out of this:

You can achieve this from the Remote Control but you can also control monitor output from the IE interface and Client Software as if you were in front of the machine.

So what's the failure rate..

There has already been a few threads about GEO version 8.0 Heres one: http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=4906

What stinks is you add windows to that setup and you're adding another 100 bucks. True, so $100 for WinXP and another $40-$50 for case and PSU. Total: $560.00 + $20.00(S&H) = $580.00 So, how much would that setup cost from DELL..

Why not just buy direct from the factory. I can recommend some great Manufacturers in China and Taiwan. If you're looking to buy in volume this is the only way to go.

Are you looking to build these PC's yourself? If so check out this setup. Has worked great for all my PC DVR's. Obviuosly depending on the number of channels RAM may need to be increased. Other than that this thing is a powerhouse for any PC DVR setup: https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/Wishlist/PublicWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=1971087&WishListTitle=DVR+SETUP Pretty much everything you will need less the case and OS/Software. Great setup for $415.00. Case I have used before. Comes with a 350Watt PSU and a 120mm Fan: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811182568

Where are these files coming from? I thought the .BIX was a BIX compressed file archive but its hard to determine without knowing a little more. This is all I found about the 2: .BOX File Extension File Type E-mail Mailbox File Format Data File Common?

Stay away from CMOS. Only CCD. You need a decent IR Bullet camera with 420+TVL and a 1/3" Sony CCD. The cam53CIR is a great camera for the money. I've had A LOT of experience with that camera and can say for the price you cant beat it.

Sorry double post....

Good little Conversion table and bandwidth calculator: http://www.ibeast.com/content/tools/band-calc.asp

Is this $1500 going to have to include cable, power supplies, monitor too ?

This one camera thats having the problems; where is it in reference to the DVR and the rest of the cameras? Is it in a seperate part of the building?

Ok, so is the power distribution box plugged into the same outlet as the DVR?

I just got a demo Stand Alone DVR in from ICR Security Solutions Its outstanding Looks incredible locally and remotely . Playback is truly amazing. Here are the specs. Let me know if you need anymore info. 16Channel • Motorola Main Board Processor Blackfin Video Processor Embedded Proprietary OS H.264 Compression Penteflex Operation Up to D1 Recording Synchronised A/V Recording 480x480 FPS Recording - NTSC 400x400 FPS Recording - PAL Easy to Use OSD Up to 4 TB Internal

Yes, usually ground looping only effects a few cameras. Are all the single power supplies plugged into the same power outlet (source).

How about a section just for Geovision problems and questions. Seems thats all you see in the DVR Card section anymore. There are 17 threads just on the first page of the DVR card section about geo issues... Just a thought.

Smells like ground loop to me. How are the cameras powered (power distribution box or individual power supplies) ? Are you using a Siamese cable for your power and video runs?

Right now there are 19 threads on the first page of the DVR card section about GEOVISION.

The specs definately look good; Ex-View and 420TVL is a plus for that price range. Athough I did find it a little cheaper ($69.00) on another reputible e-commerce cctv site. Where is this camera(s) going to be facing? What kind of night picture are you looking to achieve? How is the lighting? This will help us determine if that particular camera is best suited for your needs.

They will move it..eventually.
