  1. Still no release date.

    After reading, it looks like it may be a separate product and not integrated into the V8 software.

     

    In other news Check the link for info on new Geovision standalones. Ugly little feckers.

    GeoVision Enhances IP Surveillance Capability with Brands IP Cameras Support

     

    GeoVision, a professional software developer and security leading provider in smart video analysis, monitoring and management solutions, is pleased to announce the will-be-released-soon GV-NVR as a new version of pure IP-based surveillance management software. GV-NVR will support GeoVision's GV-Video Server, GV-1.3M Pixel high definition IP cameras and other well-known brands IP cameras including Axis, Sony, Panasonic, Mobotix, IQinvision and JVC. Additional camera manufacturers and models are expected to be added in the supporting list in the future.

     

    Through the advanced smart video analytics features, GeoVision's GV-NVR can detect abnormal events and behaviors based on preconfigured rules, such as multi-area motion detection, face detection, unattended and missing object detection, scene change detection, moving object tracking. The E-map management feature from GV-NVR provides quick awareness to camera and alarm triggering with easy access to camera locations and live images on floor plans. The visual automation feature facilitates operation of electronic appliances by integrating the digital controller into monitored images.

     

    GV-NVR's remote video viewing and control function allows video streams from IP cameras to be sent to users' 3G mobile phones or PDA handheld devices for real-time monitoring. Users can view video streams from 16 IP cameras simultaneously via a well-designed web browser-based interface MultiView, with monitoring, dual audio, and PTZ control functions.

     

    The open architecture of GV-NVR to integrate with point-of-sale, ATM, access control, and license plate recognition systems enhances IP surveillance solutions with situational awareness capabilities. GV-NVR will manage and log all video with corresponding events data in its well-ruled, well-integrated system management platform, expediting the tasks of notification, playback, and investigation of event videos.


  2. I have not come across that facility within the geovision softwear yet.

     

    I stumbled through this process using an FTP server a while back.

    Loaded FTP "Serv-U" on the DVR and client computers.

    Set the client to connect and download the Geovision folder every 24 hours. Telling it to skip any files older than already existed on the client computer.

     

    To be honest, any backup softwear that works over the network would work. Just needs a scheduled backup facility and ability to skip files that already exist.

     

    There are many free/cheap FTP server applications out there, that's why I took that road.


  3. Sorry for the slow response.

     

    ummmm;

    It changed in Version 8.12, so the manual may be out of date :/

     

    Click on the round configure button at bottom right of main GUI.

     

    There's a list of about 30 options:

    System configure

    Camera / Audio install

    ..

    ..

    Halfway down you will see "text overlay settings"

    In here you can set your POS text settings and Time stamp settings.

    I think in version 8 it was in two seperate areas.


  4. No problem.

    Any good computer tech will diagnose it in 5 minutes.

     

    Bear in mind, hard drives are €60, Ram is €50, Power supply units are €30, fans are cheap too.

    Get a price from the comp tech.

    If he knows its a camera system, his prices will double, tell him its a home computer


  5. It may be a Version 2 card, they stopped producing them a couple of years ago.

    Lots of them available as stock clearance.

    My supplier sells those at more than 50% discount.

    V2 with V6.12 softwear only goes up to 640x480.

     

    Im running one with V6.12 softwear. Works fine.

    I do think the V3 cards give a slightly better de-interlace, but it may be my imagination.

     

    That or its a clone. the clones only work with v6 or v7 softwear.


  6. Interesting move by the Dutch:

     

    "The Dutch Consumers Association has called for a boycott of Windows Vista, after the software giant refused to offer free copies of Windows XP to users who are having problems with Vista."

     

    http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2007/10/13/dutch_consumer_association_declares_war/

     

     

    If you own Vista Business OEM or Vista Premium OEM you can upgrade to XP for free, all you need is an XP Pro OEM disk.

    Proving at least Microsoft was perfectly aware of the multitude of issues vista would have in its first year.

    Writing this "roll back to XP" into the EULA for business users was a good move. It allows them to keep their large clients sweet and forces home users to do their beta testing.

     

    Is it good business practice to release yet another partially finished product?

     

     

    I would avoid Microsoft's new car,

    standard options dont include seat belts or air bags, but I hear that after a few thousand crashes, they will take a look at the problem.

    That or state "it's the fault of the road"


  7. There is a setting in the Geo softwear that will restart the softwear then restart the computer if a camera becomes disconnected.

    This function can be turned off. Check the manual.

     

    Im glad the computer works fine with no Geovision running.

    BUT.....

    Normal computer usage hardly taxes the computer at all.

    Try running some CPU and Hard drive intensive app for a few hours. Chances are it will restart over under those circumstances.

     

     

    More importantly

    "Over clocking Failed" points to a BIOS/overheating issue.

    Diagnose that first before the geovision card.

     

    Boot your computer, tap F1 or delete to get into the BIOS.

    Choose "load defaults" or "load optimal settings" or similar (its different for every bios).

     

    Clean your fans and check there isn't a thick layer of dust between the CPU fan and cooling fins.

    Check how hot the hard drives get. It will be crazy hot, but no more than a warm mug of coffee

     

    Check windows event viewer and reslove any errors it shows.

    If there's nothing there at the time of the shutdown, that can also point to hardware failure.

     

    Run chkdsk to ensure you dont have bad sectors on your hard drive. I have seen that reboot computers with heavy hard disk usage.

     

    Run some RAM testing app. Preferable something from a bootdisk.

     

    You could also System Restore back to a time the Geovision system was stable. There have been some awful windows updates in the past year.

     

    mmmmm

    Try some of that and let us know how its going.

     

    PS.

    Whats your native language?


  8. I only have experience in one DVR, but it seems to fit the specs.

    Avermedia 1304net

    4 channel 120fps CIF

    Records in D1 and CIF

    Composite and VGA output.

     

    The remote view softwear can view multiple DVR's so in essence it would be like looking at one DVR.

    One remote control can operate several dvr's.

    Only downside is that if your plugging this unit into a TV, you may have to plug each unit into their own channel.

     

    These guys have a demo:

    http://www.baysurveillance.com/

     

    It would come in way under budget, so maybe someone can offer a demo of a better unit?


  9. To print it on the recorded video.

    Click on the Configure icon - Text overlay setting - Tick "print on video file".

     

    Not sure about seeing the time stamp on local live view though.

    I just glance up at the time on the top right hand corner of the GUI.

     

    If memory serves, there is a section on it in the 300 page PDF manual on the CD under "Text overlay".


  10. DMMultiview for viewing.

    Viewlog for remote playback.

     

    Both are sent to the remote computer from the Geovision computer when you connect over the internet.

     

    Read some of the PDF files here:

    This PDF will help you configure your router

    Sorry, too tired to go into any depth, but you will find almost everything you need in those PDF files.

     

    Let us know how its working out.
