    Ive gone back to Geovision

    Nothing beats a decent built machine running a 1480 card

     

    Im over linux dvr's

    they lack funcationality and they do look old and out of date (the gui's)

     

    zoneminder is for someone who wants to play with stuff or a control room, not a commercially available dvr

     

    In my mind that is

    Had a client "back" some footage up off the system I installed (gv1480 v8.01) and cant get it to play with media player on my lappy

     

    asks for codec? anyone know

     

    I used to use indigo5 with gv1000 systems v6+ when footage was backed up this way.

     

    I have tried to run my remote view player on my system but its buggered?

    I have installed a decent amount of DVR's being geo and the likes

    the octopus cables supplied have never failed me

     

    I have 48 camera on one site with 3 gv1000 cards in rack cases,

    installed mid 2004 never an issue

     

    Make sure your bncs dont touch if you have a ground loop also, maybe wrap some tape around them or sleeve heat shrink

     

    hope that helps

    GEOVISION rocks

    I have customised my GUI in V8.01 so that when I preload it

    the camera lost image is my log says CALL ****** security camera lost

    the blank cameras have a different colour to the std blue - its green like my logo

     

    I have overlayed some pics in the main grid with my log and company number so the customer always sees it

     

    I love the new features of v8, its to easy and to reliable when the pc's are built rite

    No cheapscating and your system will work marvelous

     

    Lasty system I did recently had 3 samsung 500gb industrial sata drives rock on. H264 is wild to with the res and running shc730 cams or 740's from Samsung is the BEST

     

    Nothing BEATS geo.

    Altech are not the only distributor and unless you are building them yourselves I suggest you consider their return policy...

     

     

    All care no responsibility

    Ever dealt with them for an order let alone support

     

    UMM id think twice about dealing with altech if you want SERVICE.

    Bought some Geovision cards off a company in Hoing kong, they are dodgy one didnt even work when I booted the pc.

     

    sent back got refund

     

     

    I have used heaps of GEO and am after a legit distributor who wont rip me off,

    I have to keep costs down to compete,

     

    Got some comart cards other day finds out your limited to what MB you use and it may get worse with the amalgamation of the two companies who manufacture the MB's in Taiwan

     

     

    Any one

    We used heaps of Avtech gear for low cost installs, 1ch dvr had issues with PS,

     

    4, 9, 16 are all ok, cheap and do the job.

     

    We mainly use them on domestic's and low cost 4-8cam jobs,

     

    They are now Cpcam in taiwan... use a few 4ch lan dvr's for cost, nothing else around before now for under a grand or even 1500.... and they were doing the same job as named stuff..

     

     

    You do get what you pay for.......
