    I have a GV800 and was wondering if anyone has been able to use a cell phone to remotely view their camera feeds? If so then can you point me to some setup instructions and the cell phones that work well with remote view?

     

    I need a new cell phone and figured I'd ask here before I purchased a phone that won't work well with Geovision. I am currently looking at the Cingular 2125 phone.

     

    Here is some detail about the phone:

    Based on the comments I think this camera will fit my needs...heck this is kind of like a hobby for me, I don't need a $300 camera

     

    Another question tho. I like the camera most retailers have PICTURED on their sites as the 43. So if the 43 is not the one in the pictures when what camera is that?? and where can i get it??

     

    I like 43 better than the 53 even tho. the 53 maybe a slightly better camera. One thing that is important to me is making sure it doesn't look like radio shack exploded on the outside of my house.

    I really don't think I'll have any problems with people trying to rip off my cameras. They'll be mounted high on the eaves of the house about 8-9'. Also these cameras look like flood lights so I don't think my neighbors will necessarily know what they are.

    What are your opinions on the Mace CAM43CIR? I have seen a couple posts about the CAM53CIR but not the 43. The thing I like about the 43 is its appearance. Since I will be installing cams on the outside of my house (under the eaves) it is important that they look like flood lights. I think the 43 fits the bill. I would like to know how it performs otherwise. I'm no expert so if the camera is decent quality (and only $100) then these should work for me. Please let me your opinion and if other cameras are out there that look like flood lights and are around $100.00 and if it has white housing that would be even better.

    In the Geovision audio/video log (the one that lists all my videos by date in a tree structure format with replay window in the center of the screen) I can click on a video and play it. But how do I delete it? I see a recycle option but I don't care about recycling. I want to delete the video but I don't see an option to do this.

     

    I am doing some system testing now and I want to delete a few of the sample videos I made. I pretty sure I can navigate to the video file in windows explorer and delete the videos that way but I thought there'd be an option to do it within the audio/video log.

     

    Thanks

    I'm using a different sofware version than you, so there might be some differences in the screens I mention but the explaintion should be the same.

     

    System Configure >> Camera 1 tab >> Monitor Control box

     

    If the Record Video is checked and the list box is set to "Motion" then when you start monitoring it will record all motion 24x7. There are settings that determine if it captures video from the start and after the event. Those settings are located on the General Setting tab.

     

    System Configure >> General Setting tab >> Motion Option box

     

    If you want video captured AFTER the motion event ends check this box and set the number of seconds after motion you wish to record.

     

    If you want video captured BEFORE the motion event check the Pre-Record check box and then select the arrow icon, the Pre-Record Setup window displays. Depending on the speed of your processor and amount of RAM in your computer some options on the Pre-Record Setup window may not be available. Basically, you have to divide the Total Frames box by the Frames/Sec Limitation and that will equal the number of seconds that will PRE record before the motion event.

     

    You can also set up schedules with motion capture.

    I've read the manual and figured out that Geovsion can record in the following ways:

     

    1) Motion detection

    2) Record all the time

    3) Day & Night schedule

     

    However can Geovision record by motion detection only on a defined day & night schedule? For example I want to record activity around my house but only at night and only when motion is detected. This seems pretty simple I just don't know how to set it up.

     

    Thanks

    If you are saying to run "PassUnInStall.exe" in the main GV800 folder then I have tried that. I get an error message that says, "not enough privilages". I guess I didn't check the box to allow this when I installed the first time. If you have another program that will do the trick I'd love to try it.

     

    I sent you a PM with my email address.

     

     

    Thanks!

    I had been running Geovision v6.0 for awhile and then finally got my usb security dongle in the mail and immediately upgraded to v7.0. I opened the multicam program and realized I forgot my password. I read the Geo user's manual and it sad something about running a reset password exe located in a file folder. I did that but it said I can't reset my password. Now do I really have to reinstall windows if I forgot my password??? Help!!!

    I heard that if I want to upgrade from version 6 to version 7 of Geovision I need a "usb dongle". What does this dongle do and what does it look like? Does anyone have a picture of one? I guess I need to contact my distributor and buy one. How much are they usually?

     

    Thanks
