  1. honestly i think it's kinda funny we install security system on unstable OS, let alone opening it for remote connections etc. if I had the ass to learn *nix I would go ZoneMinder. think of the saving of the DVR card (zone minder will run on $150 card..-compare that with AverMedia/GV...)and also the license for MS. also would be pretty easy I believe to brand it with u'r company if you know what you doing, and IMHO will be easier for me to sell if I could also mention that it's runs on stabler OS, think OpenBSD/FreeBSD server with DVR now thats what I call security

    IR Housing ?

    Hi all, I need to use a standard box cam but wish to have an IR for night vision. extreme cctv products are too pricey for the client and a bullet with IR built in will not do this time. (BTW does the bullet camera pass NEC inspection without proper tubing when installed outdoor?! I usually use standard box housing with liquid-tight and not sure if exposed wire passes or not... ) So I was looking at using an enclosure with LEDs on it, like [edit by mod - store link removed] , but was wondering if I need to run extra wire for powering the LEDs? and how good are they? also after some quality time with google I see few IR lenses like [edit by mod - store link removed] but really not sure which way to go.... can you guys please shade some light (IR ) on me? thanks in advance for any input.

    IR Housing ?

    was also considering using an IR dome instead, not sure if they'll do the job i need there; however the question i have is that i don't see any brand name that makes dome with LEDs, only china crap; and was wondering if this is really the case or if i just don't know where to search? and if someone knows the reason why it's not popular with brand names to see them with IR.

    IR Housing ?

    thanks guys for the replies. @cctv_down_under I assume you talking about using the lens filter if i go the IR housing way correct? did you had any past experience with these devices? are they reliable and perform OK if i don't have the means for another IR device? thanks again.

    How do I limit Geovision on Hard Drive use?

    out of curiosity, mind if i ask why not H.264 compression? u can find a good powerful freeware for partitioning here: http://www.ranish.com/part/ make sure you read all the documents before you start. also, since you already using the drive you should know that splitting it now to *might* cause you problems so make a backup just in case.

    How do I limit Geovision on Hard Drive use?

    It's normal that windows only shows you *most* of your drive as available space. FYI very not healty for your windows drive to run low on space. get Acronis and play with partitions. it's always a good idea is to set separate partition for the GV recordings( you can leave the proggy installed in the path but to store the video elsewhere.) I think that your recording time is too low for 400 GB that you do have. should be way more than 3 days no? what res you have set? what compression? what card?

    Inox IX5600 ?

    sorry can't post link to info. I'll sure update links in couple days: I got 4 of INOX IX5600 dual CCD for a job to try them. distance between server to cams is ~400 ft. wired over Siamese 22AWG w/95% braid, 2X18AWG power. first it worked fine, then it started having black round corners on all the cameras, it looks just as if the shield is blocking the lens view. So i searched to see if i can find some info and found this page: bluecherry [DOT] net/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=2 pretty much it says that the cam is known to have problems with long distance wires. but I don't know how reliable that site is. I'll have to change them to box cameras and see if it's the same. Can someone share if they had any problems in situations like this? is this a know issue?

    gv600 fullscreen does't work !

    sounds to me like an issue with your dual monitor app rather than GV. try UltraMon i use it for 2 monitors w/out problems/

    yes we see that already. damn what a waste of $$$ on this cams. btw what was the distance in your job?

    Geo for Phone

    I have Motorola A1000, Symbian OS, SSView and T-mobile connection. works sweet but my partners Cingular connection is much much better here in Miami. if you want to control PTZ better get a 'listed as tested' device from the GV list. http://www.geovision.com.tw/english/6_0_news.asp?stable=FAQ&sfiled=fsid&stable1=FAQG&sfiled1=fid&pno1=25&title=FAQ&gname=FAQ&pno=94

    3gpp viewing on mobile phone (webcam)

    My Motorola A1000 is working fine with symbian+SSview, but I can't control the PTZ yet. GV have on their site a list of tested devices. mine isn't there but works.
