Sorry we are using it elsewhere

Sorry, that is a core 2 quad processor

Hi: I am trying to put together a new system. We have a Dedicated Micros system 6 channels at 60 FPS. It was O.K. for the original use but now it is time to upgrade. I am contemplating a GV-2008 card with a 2.4 Ghz dual quad core processor, 2gb of 1033 memeory, P5K-E motherboard and 2TB storage. I want to run 8 cameras at D1 real time 30 FPS. The camera would be able the same resolution and a 6- 60 mm lense from about 40 feet away. If I were to use a camera at our gate do you think it would be able to read license plates? What do you think about this set-up?? Regards, Russ

Hi Kelp I just went to the wave-p site and downloaded the latest version and I am still using about 75% of my CPU. Thanks for the input Russ

Hi Phred: The specs on the card say h.264 compression. The recorded video looks great with no jerky movement at 640 X 480. For a 24 hour period on 8 cameras it runs about 39.3 GB or 27.3 Mb per minute or 3.4MB per minute per camera. I had a Geovision GV800 card prior to this one and the motion with 8 cameras was very jerky because it was 120fps. Speaking about my Geovision when I rceived the version 8.0 I also had a problem and had to revert to version 7.05 and I had no further problems. I believe there is some problem with the program loading correctly. There was a note in the manual which stated "Note : Before installing Display adapter driver, you must install Mainboard driver ,otherwise DVR consumes a lotof CPU resource and does not work well." When I loaded the software without the display driver the instal program said I had to have 1024X768 so I had to load the display drivers before the system would load. I am only a novice computer jock so I probably did something incorrect. Any Ideas? Thanks for your help, sorry I am taking up all your time with my problem, Russ I also contacted the company I purchased the ether 9808 from and gthey are going to send me a earlier version. I have also sent a note to wave-p to see if they could be of assistance, as you suggested.

I dont know what compression chips they are using but here are the sepcs. Specifications Camera Input: 8 Channels BNC Female Audio Input: 1 channel audio input through motherboard sound card with microphone Image Quality: 9-bits Philips ADCs for Super High Quality Image Compression: H.264 optimized (high recording definition, especially when there is intense movement) Live Video Total Frame Rate: 200 fps in PAL, 240 fps NTSC Recorded Video Total Frame Rate: 200 fps PAL, 240 fps NTSC Display Resolution: 1280 X 1024, 640 X 480, 352 X 288, 320 X 240 Recorded Video Resolution (Per Camera): 640X 480, 352 X 288, 320 X 240 Compression Ratio: 8-150M/H/C Network Protocol: TCP/ UDP PTZ Support: Multiple Protocols Operating System: Windows 2000/XP (XP Media, Vista not supported) Russ

Hi; The compression into h.264 is accomplished on the Ether 9808 board. What is unusual is that the viewer seems to take more cpu than the H.264 encoding. I have almost no cpu difference between recording one camera or recording 8 cameras. What does your DVR use in cpu processing? Regards, Russ

SORRY it is the encode.exe I did find something unusual, when I set the screens to watch real time from 8 cameras to 1 camera the cpu dropped from 95% to 73%. The DVR is still recording 8 channels on continous motion. The amount of cameras recording 1 or 8 made no difference but the view screen makes a big 20% difference. weird-- Russ

Hi I have looked over the task manager and all of the loading is coming from the decode.exe program. I am running the DVR at its max 8 channels at 640 X 480 at 30 fps using the h.264 compression. I can back off the recording by going to motion detection and that is how I normally run my system. I was just interested in running the DVR wide open and seeing what the results would be. I guess I now know. You are correct about the dual processor but most of the DRV cards (to my knowledge) can operate in that mode yet. I bought the Dell B110 to be a Dvr dedicated unit. In the future I will get the dual processor and use my personnel computer for the DVR it has a 800mb FSB might make it a little faster. I just backed the system down to one camera recording and it is still running at 92% of the cpu. Maybe there is something else causing the high usage but the manager says it is all encode.exe Russ

Hi Collin The cpu was the Dell B110 with the Celeron D 2.53MB . How much of the CPU are you using the DVR, mine is using 95 to 98% all the time, unless I shut off the DVR and then it goes to 1% or less. I am hoping that by going to a graphics card with the memory on the card it will free up some of my cpu. What is a good graphics card? Russ

Hi; I have been using a Geovision GV-800 card but it was just not capable of recording crisp pictures and the 120fps was just too slow. Anyhow I just purchased a Ether 9808 and was running it on my Dell B110 computer with 2.5GB celeron D processor, 750 mb of Ram and had installed a Diamond radeon 9250, 256MB video card. The system was extremely slow one transaction in about two minutes. I removed the Radeon board and software and went back to my on-board Intel 82856G graphics card, 96MB and it went much faster but I am running the processor 95 to 98% all the time. The pricture quality is good and the 240 fps is great. I believe the on-board graphics is running from the cpu causing it to run all the time. My question is what graphics card is best to run with the Ether 9808 DVR Card? Or does anyone have any suggestions Russ

Hi Rory: I just installed version 7.05, I was told it was much more stable than v8.0, will let you know if it shows the same screen. I have the unit on Ultra now so if it comes up with the same screen I will ship you the IP address Thanks, Russ

Hi Rory: I believe the graphics has a shared memory using the Intel 845G chipset, Intel 854G site below: ftp://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/datashts/25251405.pdf I didn't install C++ on the computer I doubt if there is any malware because I just reinstalled the system. I am not a computer expert but I am trying. Thanks for the help< Russ

Hi: I am new to the Forum as well as surveillance and hope someone can help. I have a Dell 1100 2.53Gb Intel Celeron D processor, 768Mb Ram, a 160Gb Dard disk, Intel 845G chipset and Intel ® 82865G Integrated Graphics (Exterme Graphics 2) on-board with a GV-800 16 channel card V8.0. I am also running Windows XP SP2 operating system. I am getting a "Microsoft Visual C++ runtime library, Runtime error, Program: C\GV800\GV800exe.,This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the applications support team for more information." On my computer. The window happens sporatically not at start-up but usually within 24 hours, Can anyone help to eliminate this screen problem?? Russ1150
