Looking for the most reliable and affordable POE switch with a minimum of 12 ports. Nothing super exotuic needed just doing 10 1.3 Megapixel cameras. Thanks in advance for all your hard work and testing . I'm leaning towards a ciso managed switch but I could care less about the brand name on it as long as it won't give me problems.

My distributor is telling me Geovision is offering free software with the ip camera purchase. I'm working on a tight budget with someone who is insisting on 20+ Megapixel cameras. We are looking at the 1.3 MP bullets. What kind of system do I need to build to max out this software to accept 32 of these at 15 fps/camera? How well is it going record with a dedicated network at 10/100mbs? No hybrid capabilty needed. Is there a better solution for <= $.

Would I be better off building multiple NVR's?

Thanks in advance.

Plug converters straight into Serial ports. And connect

Yes using it with NV-5000. Can you tell me what the baud rate is fixed at. I realize there is no baud rate in parallel communications so the pos box should convert it to some serial baud rate apparently unknow to the techs at avermedia. Is it default 9600,n,8,1 ???

Do the switches on the POS box do anything in the parallel configuration?? These are the question they don't know. I was told some of the older versions have a parallel option that doesnt even work.

Bought an avermedia POS box to use with a Parallel pole display (verified trough display manufacture) I have it plugged and and pole display is working fine. Called Avermedia and they can't give me any support on it. Told me to try all the settings. Anyone set one of these up and have success?????? Anyone know what the communication baud rate will be using it in this configuration. I felt like I was on the phone with my 3 year old niece they couldn't give me anything. At this point I'm thinking it may be easier to reconfigure the POS to open up the serial port, buy a serial pole display and send the "POS" back.

RS-485 was the trick " title="Applause" />

You guys are awesome , LOL. Making me do my tour of duty huh.

Generic rs-232 to 485 connectors with comm lights working on the test bench today between a borrowed pos system and my demo unit. These are the closest thing I could find to a rs-232 signal amplifier with out going $$$$$$$$$. Fingers crossed ready for action too bad problems only occurs when installing 2+ hours away.

I haven't had a chance to play with hyperterminal. That is my next venture also waiting for the break out box. Thank goodness the customer is cool.

I have used the geovision lpr camera on a large gated community. Works very well. I had to install it on a video server a shoot it over a mile on a wireless bridge. The customer absolutely loves it the only problem is you will need a 2nd camera to see the overall view. A very good megapixel camera maybe a better solution depending on the application. I didnt use the software they were more interested in seeing who was breaking the gate on the weekends than who was coming and going. Its been running two years not a broken gate since problem solved.

Running perfect on windows 7 64 bit for months now.

Any one???? I aquired 2 of these cards from a system upgrade sure would be nice to trough them in a machine and flee bay these for $$$$$$$$$.

Dumped more time into it today. "nothing". Scratching my head. I gonna wait until the break out box comes.

Anything can be made to work, Its just depends on how hell bent someone is on doing it. If you time is worth nothing the options are limitless.

Looks to me if you dont want to buy there ip cameras you need to look at another NVR/DVR provider. Poor business decision if you ask me. Exactly how good is there ip camera offering against the big players?

None yet, I'm doing my home work and I hear they are the least friendly to use my. My systems require hybrid capabilties to keep costs inline. Not often I get to run ip only systems.

I was told Milestone would use all the resources available. I dont have much experience in this many high end cameras. My customers are too thrifty to go this rout normally.

What about the rs 485, where is that coming from? Source heading out to the local shack for diodes/resistors. I also have located some shells I used to make ruby system adaptors.

I appreciate the input tom. I was not aware aver had its own usb to serial and rs 485 Hardware

soundy do you have a source for where i get these direct wire 9 pin female plugs? I found something with screw terminals but from china probally on the slow boat.

Yes Tom rj45 to db9 self configured. I like the idea with the diode/resistor Soundy. Is there anyway that Im missing a connection here why is this not working???????? I'm just sniffing out the signal in this configuration.

I'm building a windows 7 64 bit with 4 GB ram and I7 quad core. It will be recording 16 arecont 5100's. Basically a clean up for an unhappy referral customer . The customer is knowledgable enough about pcs to be dangerous so I want to keep the software simple as possible.. I dont want to be married to this guy. There are 9 remote cameras 2 miles away running on a 45 mb bridge. I'm trying to decide if I want to install another 100 mb bridge with a dual wann router or install a 2nd super computer/NVR. ideas or suggetions would be awesome.

The biggest reason would be if 1 camera shorts or a would be crook cuts one wire your pc power supply will short and your whole system will crash. I prefer to run a quality cable with siamese pair. You can get a multichannel power suply on flee bay that will do what you want. Radio shack sells and overpriced power supply that would suffice but you should individually fuse each camera. There is a million and one ways to do cheaper. You can ebay a whole 8 channel system with wire and power if u want unusable junk.

Yes all 4 of them are showing up on DVR. DVR will except generic test prints from a laptop on all 4 rj45 adaptors at register locations. Its a problem with interface at pole dislay. I dont understand it is so simple. Ground and signal I checked the pinout on the pole display db9 and even configured my connector to match with pins 7,8 and pins 1,4,6 tied together just like the pole dislay. Scratching my head.
