    Yes it is an AGP. I hope I don't need to get into my BIOS because every time I try to get in the Bios. It ask for a password. As far as I can tell it has no on board graphics. Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000-G P4 Titan Series 865PE. Thanks for the help. Dave

    Hooked up a Geovision 800 card two weeks ago. Software version 8.1

    Four cameras. Hooked up so far. Replacing my Swann DVR4Net Plus

    Here is my problem. When I leave it in quad mode. It looks pretty good. (Small picture) Records real good also. When I take a camera to full screen. It looks bad! I have bypassed the computer with each camera straight into the AV in on my monitor and they look great. I think my video card may not support De-Interlaceing and maybe not Direct Draw overlay either. I can't find anything in the NVIDEA control panel on either thing. My card is an NVIDEA Geforce FX 5200

    Computer is a Pentiun 4 CPU 2.40 MHZ with HT Technology

    XP Service Pack 2

    512 Mb Ram

    Gigabyte Motherboard Intel 865 PE Chipset 800 MHZ front side bus.

    Here are some samples of what they look like. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong I would appreciate the info. Thanks Dave

    I'll give that a shot. But I really will miss the view of the camera pointing up the street. Also that is not one of my good cameras. So I really do need to pick up another good camera for that side. Probably another Pelco CCC1390. Thanks Dave

    Ps Does it make sence that the Gamma turned up would make the snow go away.

    Geovision GV800-8 DVR Capture Card (120 FPS) / GV800CC-8 *NIB*

     

    I'm thinking about buying this card. The price is $300 I think it's used.

    Above is the headline for the card.

    Questions -

    How do I know it is authentic? Is there Some way to verify on Geovisions website?

    Is that an older model card?

    What does the NIB mean?

    This is a PCI card right ? My computer is a Pentium 4 1.2 Ghz. NVIDEA Geforce 5200 250mb Ram

    What else do I need to know?

    Thanks Dave

    Oh yaa. And the purpose of this camera system is so I can identify the criminals who rip me off. Or throw eggs at my cars. So I know whos A _ _ to go kick! Iv'e got a couple of good cameras now. Just wondering if I can improve the playback. Should I switch over to the Geovision 800? If it will look much better or not. Dave

    If that's what it means. The answer is no. I have all you professionals from out here helping me. You would be surprised what you can learn from people on a forum. For instance. Four years ago I new nothing about growing roses and trees. But now thanks to GardenWeb Forum I have 80 + roses Seventeen fruit trees and I'm getting pretty good at taking digital pictures. Just check out this link to my photos and see how helpful these forums are. Dave

    You might need high speed Internet. There is over 2000 pics.

    It took the cops 12 minutes.

    And it is a DVR. It may be my weakest link. It is a Swann dvr4Netplus. 400 gig Hard Drive. This link explains it. Can't get many replies to the posting that go's with this link comparing the Swann DVR4NetPlus with the Geovision 800. I have a chance at Geovision800 card for $300 right now. So I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to switch over. Dave

    Some kids tried to steal my Honda again. That's why I put up the cameras two moths ago. I had just got home from work and saw them pull up. They should learn not to mess with us night workers!! Next time I'll chase them down with my Silverado that was sitting out front.

    Anyway thought this would be a good way to get some input on my cameras. Even though it's just a small video. Just click below for the video.

    The two Black and whie cameras are a Pelco CCC1395 and a Panasonic WMV 474 both true Day Night cameras. Thanks for looking. Dave

    Ps is there a proper place to put this video on this website? Or somewhwere else on the web maybe?

    Was thinking about upgrading to a Geovision 800 card. I am now using the Swann Dvr 4 Net Plus DVR. Question is . Is it worth it? Some of the specs look better on the Swann. Like the display frame rate 480 frames per second on the Swan. The Geovision card only 120. The Swann I can record and view at the same time. Is it possible to view a recording and record at the same time with the Geovision 800? All input would be appreciated. Thanks Dave

    Ps I left the links to the two that I am talking about.

    Which BNC connectors should I use? I have the RG6 Cable. I picked up some Screw ons. They dont seem to screw on very well. Can someone tell me which one to use. A link to them would be great. Thanks Dave

    Yaaa! Go Marine Core. Pops was a WWII Vet. He fought in all the big battles in the South Pacific. I was starting to think I was on the phone with one of those tech supports from India. Telling me my software disc is bad and they are going to send me a new one. When you know darn well it's not your software! They just don't know what they are doing or dont want to spend the time to help! I remembered from reading another post how you can take a picture directly off your screen. Everything was telling me it was probably my DVR. Looks worse at night . Some day I will get a better one of those. Or a Geovision card. Tomarrow I am going to hook up a better cable. Although it will only be tv cable RG59. Not the copper groung. Just to see if I can get rid of a little bit of the snow. Thanks for the help and encouragement. Dave

    This time I took a picture with my digital camera straight off the screen. It is an LCD screen. Does this look like a camera that is not working properly? It looks pretty good from where I'm standing. Not blurry or out of focus. Just a liitle bit of snow. The bright light in the center of the screen is my flash. Is was needed to get an acurate shot. Than I had to upload it to my online storage site. Because this site keeps telling me "Could not access ftp directory: 'attachments/thumbs'. Please check your FTP Settings" Dave
