Great result 501!

Thats what its all about.

Get it posted friend.

I dont recommend it, but I have a GV-800 running on an Nvidia AMD Athlon XP 2400 motherboard.

intel/via (northbridge/southbridge) boards can cause trouble with audio or graphics.

Always use Intel/Intel.

EDIT: Man you type quickly Rory!

Geovision 8.1 runs at standard resolutions, but also:

1920 x 1200

1680 x 1050

1600 x 1200

1280 x 1024

I strive for a 720x576 pixel TFT :/

Why? Thats the pixels output by the PAL DVR software.

1440x1152 would be perfect for 4 cams.

Until then its CRT for quality, TFT for space saving.

I think the guy has had one too many hits to the head already

Sorry, just realised English wasnt your first language. Apologies.

Sorry, I mis-read.

Didnt see the word "from"...... then used in in my post.

Thanks for the education.

Now your true day night camera will mechanically move them from in front of the imager in low light.

I thought the IR filter was removed from the imager in low light?

Patience of a saint isaac, cheers.

Got it. Thanks again guys.

Its not a true day/night cam if theres no cut filter. Thats the mantra of the forum

Why am I confused? :

I kinda assumed ther would be a cut filter on all midrange brandname outdoor cams.

0.3 lux + WDR + No Cut filter

0.7 lux + Cut filter

If you use the remote feature, and quality of the picture is of the essence then look for the H.264 compression.

Thats a really good point.

Live remote viewing H.264 is at least double the speed of other compressions.

I record in D1 MPEG4 for quality, and remote view with H.264 for faster frame rate.

Look into the manufacturers CMS applications (Central monitoring system).

From my research, many companies that produce a 4 ch DVR also produce a CMS application.

This allows you to log on and control several dvr´s as if they were one.

ie, I was going to stack 2 Avermedia 1304net and use their CMS3000 softwear.

No motion masking in this unit though. Avermedia only have motion masking on their PC cards and embedded models.

From practice, I can connect to 16 cameras over 16 different DVR's with the basic Geovision softwear.

I should really use their CMS application, just never got round to installing it.

Thanks mcs.

Seems I was looking at the same models.

Ordering a 415, and the 450 + 4120 domes.

I dont need the WDR in the 4120 so I will grab a 4020 also.

Will price up the 700 series as those specs look great.

Hey mcs.

You still got those Samsung samples?

Im about to buy a few different models to test.

"True day/night" cams have IR cut filters.

If you are not using IR lighting, is there any reason to get a camera with IR cut filter.

I belive they won an award for that codec too

Best I could find was this

http://www.aver.com/software/IP_Cam_List_010407.pdf

A list of 22 different cameras supported, mostly Axis.

Brandnames:

Axis

Vivotek

O'rite

Panasonic

Sony

Veo

Linudix

Pixord

Gascash has always worked fine on mine.

Similar specs to Rory.

I put the slow playback down to my processor.

WMP using 100% CPU.

MPEG compression on a 2 Mega pixel camera.

Under $1000

Please post anything you have, between us we will have it running to its potential.

Im interested to see how the Panasonics look throught a geovision.

Hey martyn, how did it work out?

Busy four months?

I may drop by next time im in Cumbernauld.

Great minds think alike

Glad you got it sorted.

Ha!

I think I got this one

Bottom far right on the playback GUI, click on the button marked something like "realtime / frame by frame"

You only get audio playback with "realtime"

Something I learned the hard way :/

Sorry to hear the system is not what you imagined.

I use the GV-1240´s and cameras that are a quarter of the price; getting better results.

So there is hope.

Your image appears compressed and possibly out of focus.

Stick to Mpeg4. Record quality 5.

As a side note, you may get sharper results from 640x480.

Theres some weirdness at D1 with PAL giving those black borders.

Tweak it out.

Great suggestion, thank you.

Never even crossed my mind :/

I would need softwear to control them, preferably integrated with the IP recording app.

Looking into it.

Double post

Try re-installing the audio codec?

 

The driver? I did this but didn't fix the problem.

Download the "audio codec" from geovision.

Or export a video from the Event log as an .exe. Run it, and it should re-install the codec.

As Rory stated, disable to firewall and try again.

Im leaning toward the firewall TBH
