    Camera video samples website

    Well, that would be the proper site, but to start with I think a simple metadata search and a form where people could enter their own files along with the spec would be very helpful already. I'm sure many people out there would be happy to collaborate with a couple of samples from different cameras. I will think this through over the weekend, perhaps I can come up with something.

    Image fading on cameras (sample)

    Hello... Guys, thanks a lot for the much helpful input from everyone there. Very appreciated. As for the PSU, I'm using standard 12V DC 1A PSUs (wall wart). The 5 psus are connected to a 6 sockets extension lead which, in turn, is hooked up to a power stabiliser. In one hand, it could well be that the guys who installed the cameras did a shoddy job on the cabling; on the other hand, it would be such a bad luck to get all the 5 cables wrong. One thing which I did hear was they talk about the cable length between the cameras and the power supplies. I'm connecting them through Coaxial + 12V cable that is probably longer than 20/30m I'd say. Would that be too long as to cause problems like this? I asked someone to check these cables over the weekend (hopefully) and give me a feedback on this. Looking forwad to getting this sorted.

    Interesting site although I have to say it would be nice if there was more details about the camera/setup specs used to record the images.

    I would consider both power supply and cabling, although I have to say I find it funny that all the 5 cameras would have cable related problems. I'm sorry the delay in posting the 'colouring problem' clip, here it is => video (30mb) I was even thinking that it could be a card problem, but since the motion detection does take this defect as a 'movement', I started guessing that the problem could be somewhere else, so yes, I will take a look at the cabling now. Have you ever seen this problem before, Rory?

    How can you spot a fake GeoVision card?

    Take a look at this link: http://reviews.ebay.co.uk/Beware-fake-Geovision-DVR-Cards_W0QQugidZ10000000011605293

    Camera video samples website

    I was wondering if any of you guys know of a good cctv camera samples website on the net? I googled for it a lot but over the past couple of weeks but couldn't come up with any useful site. If there isn't something I would be happy to develop something for those who would like to create a nice cctv samples database. I know it could be a bit tricky as it depends a lot of the particular set up in which the clips would have been recorded, but I do see a certain value in it. Any ideas? Thanks

    Image fading on cameras (sample)

    OK. Everything was going so well up until last weekend when I started having a few problems with my system. I currently have 5 cameras running and for some reason a kind of fading started occuring in all of them. As if it was not enough, the day after the cams started showing some images whose brightness levels would go from normal to extremely high and then back to normal... all this in a matter of a few seconds and intermittently. Needless to say, the files now are getting huge as the movement detection is picking up these image property variations. As it is occuring in all the 5 cams I'm ruling out that it is a camera defect, also because I'm seeing the problem in cameras from different brands. So my questions here are the following: has anyone experienced something like this before? is it a kind of typical problem? could it be some sort of interference? power cables, for instance? Here is a sample of the fading problem: sample clip (550kb) I post the other video (weird brightness) tonight. Thanks guys

    Recording quality vs cheap camera (samples)

    Just another thing I found out. For you to be able to see that little dropdown in the Camera configuration, you have to first enable the right resolution on Video Source and only then you will see that dropdown along with the higher resolution available. In my case I didn't see the dropdown because of this: I had first looked at the dropdown, then changed the Video Source thingie, and then didn't go back there to see it. So take care here.

    Mate, thanks a lot for your help, I had done this thing that says on this post you pasted above but that only affected the display resolution. I finally found the place to change the recording resolution, and it is right there where you said, in the "camera settings". How come I am so stupid and blind. Thanks very much mate, I'm very relieved and appreciated a lot your help. (I nearly returned the card) For those who have the same problem, here is a screenshot where you can change this settings: Hope it helps someone.

    Recording quality vs cheap camera (samples)

    Actually I don't get to export it, I just copied the file straight from the place where it was written by the dvr card. Yes, its odd this resolution, but from what I've been seeing out there this is what it says in all geovision cards, recording only at max 360x240. Does most people live with that low resolution or its just me here that cannot configure the card? What would be the point in having high res cameras with such recording low resolution? I dont know what to do, if I buy new camera (in the hope that something will improve here) or if I forget about it and buy another card.

    Recording quality vs cheap camera (samples)

    HI bike_rider, Sorry, I think I misunderstood your question. Could you rephrase it for me? Thank you
  13. I'm looking more around the lower range, Techwell or something similar. Need to record at resolutions higher than 360*240. Does anyone have any suggestion?

    come on guys, so many ppl recording with gv800 out there...

    Recording quality vs cheap camera (samples)

    I've changed 'video source' from 640x480 to 720x480. The notable difference in the video res was From 320x240 to 360x240 (half the set resolution). I just want to make sure its not the card that its limiting me as it would then be useless me bringing back the GV800 or a similar one.
