Yeah every1 in my area is selling them, I have seen one 16ch- I played with No comparison to the geo though. It is embedded xp They are well built I do say, but I think they have a price to. So allows me to compete building my own and beating every quote against my competitors. Im sure 100 fps over 16 cams does not compare to 400/16 But they are well built and id say reliable, the cases are industrial and are heavy to!

A rack mount 19" antec case with 480w True power supply Plenty of air flow- 2 x 120mm fans or 6 x 80mm Asus * MB mid range is good Corsair (twinx) ram min 1gb ( go to 2gb) decent vga card or you can go PCIe now with the gv1480 pci Winxp Pro UPS- run a line interactive ups and install the software for shutdown, use Sata drives- I use the seagate 500gb at the moment Install the OS (XP and GEO) on a 80gb drive this way the footage is not being written to the same drive as the OS RAID your hdd's if you feel the need. Run a pc cycle disc for 24hrs Run in geovision for 24 hrs DO NOT SKIMP ON A PC BASED DVR AND YOU WILL * WIN * *wow you have a decent DVR

Use a Samsung 730 or better still 740 (1/2"ccd and hi res) you wont be dissapointed also use a video server about 150 bucks Au, so will cost you bout a grand with lense and server, The video server's I use do 2 cams also... Cant beat it

I dont know get on their site and email them for specifics, this is jhust something that was emailed to me, yeah I think they tested the most USED models and brands as the samsung 730 and 740 are a cut above the 415, but heck for 199 the 415 suits my budget and is and does more then msot cameras suppliers sell. and 2 yr wty to

Oh I thought u were an installer, they way you were talking... cheers

Wot No comments??? go figger

Yes you are correct, but to a point are we talking ccd or cmos with the smeary objects... 600 lines is possible, are you viewing on a monitor that does 600+ lines with a 600 line camera direct feed video? Prob is most dvrs dont do LIVE view- Prob is its like everything everyone jumps on the bandwagon to make a buck... TEST + TRY for yourself, buy a few dif models. this will help you make the most informed decision, When my new office is built ill setup some testingareas and will post back, *when is the only prob* Click here for 2006 review

The amount of pixels is what your looking for also the horizontal lines, not just the res- Post here anything your worried about and well check it for you. I am over sales man pitches, and have tried and tested most brands, and know what I use. Not just for price (although I do get a good price) But mainly for quality I loose jobs regularly cause the locksmith or the electrician go in 1/2 the price I am with ****, and then the people whinge cause they meant to have 30 days recroding, and blah fkn blah I end up getting them, Im not here for the love of it. Im here to make money and no ones friends in business and trust me the favours are NEVER returned Thanks for them 20 cameras we sent you accidentally, that were on back order which we filled.......................................................................... My bad

Do a test on the Samsung 740- and post back results, Ill be testing one 740 and a 730 and 415 over the weekend and Ill post footage off the Geo when I get back from My course wed next week. So stay tuned to this thread this time next week. Subscribe (to this thread- NOTIFY ME WHEN A REPLY IS POSTED, tick below) to have an email reply so you dont miss out.

Some more proof?

Heres the proof

Made in Portguay Assembled in Germany- Samsung are just as good, Ever tried the 1/2" Low light 740 Superb. Replacing a stak of Ganz cams with 730's (1/3") and 740's Stack Samsung cams with Geovision, you have the best CCTV system around.

Same I run a Windows xp Wstation next to my Linux box- ie Quickbooks wont run on Linux... To many variables. Sux M$oft- stop ripping people off, fix what you have instead of stealing MORE money.

Get a bug lamp thingy, install it away from the camera- One of them UV ones. I had this on a car yard once, guy never paid me the full amount, so I lost out on that one. Turn ur sens to about7 and test it walking thru fast and slow- maybe map alot of zones so the object has to be larger to trigger. ....

How long until GEO can support vista u rekon- im going to hang out b4 I buy vista. I heard to much bad stuff about it already I wish Bill gates would fk off and leave it alone. Fix XP and everyone would buy it and support it. I wish theyd work on a linux disty Its free and im sure they can find people to get geo onto linux... Wish i had the itme anr resources to code it myself, prob is got mortgage and 4 kids to feed. Otherwise I would. Plus we messing with IP PBX to get that going off here, so not enough time and money. Save all the issue. I wonder if you can run Geo under Wine on linux...

Didnt they check the serial or origin of purchase, I bought some cards from hong kong company (as I got ptz and others cams from them also) so close to real also cept the sw came on disc with no version and no dongle when v7 was out, it was v6 .. was sus, then all these issues std and so I returned them and got refund cause I threatened to fly there and sort it out, they were sold fakes as OEM When did you buy your card and who from might help otheres from ebing bitten

No I know Rory whats im saying is that if your going to the trouble of modding XP then you might as well use linux, means you have to use a dif card and all, You dont need to learn code, you can use Live cd Unbuntoo its easy to, If you setup a PC correctly as you know you can run windows and geo in a stable environment Prob is people cheap skate on crap and expect it to work, if you want something like that buy a standalone. YOU cant have it all, I use standalones to 8chs then its not worth it, PC based is faster and has more features. Its the same story over and over.

DigitalSi use Xpe and embedded dvrs Think its the comart cards only caught a quick glance at one box you might as well run linux if your going to that extent of modding xp

May I ask why you want raid is this a bank, jeweller? I have heaps of systems running, if you over spec the pc you wont have issue Use a ups (decent inline), more ram then needed, fast vga card... All you have to do is pu the OS and geovision prog on a small HDD and ghost that drive quick backup, takes 30 mins to install if the drive fails... I am using xbox hdd's as they are cheap and range from 8-20gb and norm new as most people hack their box early cheers
