digitalsecuritysystems@hotmail.com cheers!

So when exactly is this new GUI coming out? Anyone got any ideas? I spoke to Geovision at IFSEC and all they said was its coming out soon, he refused to give me a month

Ive seen the new budget DVRs they're shifting on some flyers ive been getting. Looks interesting, hoping to take a look at it tomorrow

Lol, you can say that again!!! Hoping to go wednesday for the whole day, maybe stay for thursday. heard there's even more exhibitors this year! Was going to go today but got to handover a job and the first day is always too congested!!

Sounds cool, hey scottj, could you e-mail me a copy? my e-mail is digitalsecuritysystems@hotmail.com Thanks

Rory what router have they got? Im guessing they're currently using a USB modem for dial up. You will probably be using PPPoA, once you've entered the ISP account details in the router setting, the internet connection will remain connected all the time, so there will no be dial up screen. You could enter the gateway details like ant said but you will probably be better of using DHCP which most routers support which means you wont have to enter any IP setting for the computers.

Hey guys, Geovision have just release the V7 software, there are some significant upgrades. Check out, http://www.geovision.com.tw/002/en/supports-04.asp Download the new version from http://www.geovision.com.tw/002/en/download.asp

Anyone got feedback on the ZR-DH1621NP 16 channel DVR by Ganz? http://www.cbcamerica.com/cctvprod/ganz/dvr/index.html

Also, if you're just hitting the restart button on your comp,, then it wont start up with your auto-login rules, it needs to be restarted properly via auto-reboot setup setting.

Which colours do i need to loop in the motherboard connector of a computer PSU for it to turn on? Thanks

Thanks C0m4!

Don't know what Geo are up to, they've now taken the V7 software of their website http://www.geovision.com.tw/002/en/download.asp

Thats a Rifatron DVR http://www.rifatron.com/product/main.htm

Click the Auto Gain Control in the camera settings, it will adjust the Gain control for all your cameras automatically. Only other thing i can suggest is adjusting the brightness levels for your cameras. What resolution are you recording at, try selecting 640X480SW and then enabling directdraw overlay and deinterlace render in the settings. Good luck!

however, you need to partition the first 300GB HDD, about 10GB-15GB purely for Windows, you then use the rest of the space + your other 300GB for video. If you store your video files on the same drive as windows, it'll screw your system up!

The geovision system will write to both HDDs, you just have to add them in the Storage setting

What do you mean the computer can't handle it? that spec seems perfect for a gv800

WOH!!!! that spec is tooo low for a Gv800-16, id you're using that as a permanent system, don't expect it to last. I know they say the spec is ok, but geovision say a lot of things. The only problem i can see is with youre video card, definitely not as powerful as you need it to be. 'nVIDIA GeForce2 MX200 32MB' is a min spec video card. Are you using direct draw overlay and de-interlace render in your settings? if so try disabling them

We always get problems when using DVI output of graphics card, you have to disable directdraw overlay for one, next you if you maximise a camera on the screen, you get a pink box. Instead use a Video splitter, this eliminates the problem. The first option is probably the best, combined with a video splitter, you use a VGA valun and STP cable which is dead cheap and connect it up. If you're system and monitor is onthe same floor and the client has suspended ceiling you could use a VGA cable, 20-30metres max and connect it straight to the video splitter, shouldnt have a problem drilling too many holes that way.

Hi Robert, check out this thread: http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=800

Rory, you're not the first guy to say that, definitely a very ugly DVR! I'll be honest, ive never had one lock up on me, well not yet anyway! For the price you can't complain, all of them come with TCP/IP connection as standard. The only problem i had was once i was only getting 7 channels out of the 8 to work, thats about it. I used the avtech 16 channel before this and they really let me down, PSU issues!!!!. I mean there were times where i was installing a DVR one week and going a week after to replace the PSU! you can imagine what my customer was thinking. My supplier tells me they've sorted out the problem, maybe they have, but i refuse to go back to a manufacturer once they've let me down!! also its a 18fps, this one's 25fps, motion is easier to set up, its got a CDRW, remote control making it more user friendly for the customer.

Piece of advice, don't buy of a company who trying to make a few hundred $$ of you by telling you its a samsung DVR!

That Dvr is made by Sys-tek, www.sys-tek.co.kr its an oem, a lot of manufacturers re-brand this DVR and sell it on, Very Cheap but stable as a rock, have not yet had a single problem with them. PM me the price you're paying for, i'll let you know if you're getting a good deal

and that seriously works???????

What sort of microphone you thinking of using? Ive done a covert audio recording job where i used these nice microphones in these small junction boxes, i mounted them on the ceiling, no problems, dont look too obvious either.
