Let me put some more input. The reason why I started this topic is because people can find analog camera to work under extreme environment, -40C to 70C for example, but you can't find a IP camera match that spec.

That's why I am wondering if people need to use IP camera in some tough environment, what's their choice?

Hi everyone,

Wondering has any of you ever need to build a system with requirement of rugged design? By rugged, I mean such as below:

1. Wide operating temp. (like -40C to 70C)

2. Anti-vibration, anti-shock

3. High ESD, surge protection

4. Explode resistant

etc...

If you has, what's the solution you adopted?

Asking this is because right now most surveillance equipment in industrial gade application are still analog, and to break into that market, you need a IP camera that can endure tough environment, and seems there is no such solution right now in the market. Most obvious example is that even with housing, IP camera usually has operating temperature range wide as only -20C to 55C.

If there is one real tough IP camera hit the market, will you be interested? (if price is similar to Axis/Pelco level)

Sorry didn't come back for a long time.

Actually I am pretty confident that I am right about i7 spec, and socket doesn't matter, it will do as long as it's core i7. You can specifically ask their tech support guy are they aware of this design in their software, then they will check with HQ, I am sure they will admit they were wrong. Make sure you are using latest version and then try again.

Anyway, right now the design has changed again, there will be no more limitaion for H.264 recording frmae rate, software codec will utilize the full power of CPU no matter it's i7 or not, just I am not sure from which version this will be done.

FYR.

AVermedia is more well known for their cards, and it's all hybrid. Actually they also provide NVR based on the same design. You can use a USB as software license, or buy a NVR card so you can have IP camera spot out.

One special thing is that there are "embedded hybrid NVR" or "embedded pure NVR" in their product lineup. You can connect megapixel cameras for in those systems with local display, that's not common in the market, and it's a great product with low price compare to other standalond solution. (do compare with those NAS NVR though)

Too late when I see this. Since price is not an issue, why not go with i7, with i7 CPU, you can have H.264 960 D1 recording for 32 channels. Their system have a checkin mechanism, when the CPU is i7, H.264 compression limitation will be lifted and you can go full speed for H.264. Anyway, too late for this case, for your future reference.

I used it with Windows7, there is no problem, just not to use 64 bit.

EH series comes with Gigabit LAN, I don't think bandwidth will be a problem. And most important, they are total different product, if you compare to NUUO Mini, that is a NAS recorder without local display while AVer EH series is embedded Hybrid DVR with local display.

If what you want is NAS recorder, there is a MXR series in AVer family, which is the right product for you, and that comes with dual Gigabit LAN port, you don't have to worry about bandwidth.

ps. Actually AVer NVR also support H.264 if you mean IP camera channels

Has anyone tested this new software? There are some interesting features inside, for example, PTZ automation (intutive PTZ on video control), camera tree display in live view, and a new debug tool for technical support.

I think the most interesting thing is that they now have USB dongle for IP camera channel license, and you can work with your existed analog channels then expand the system capability. Very cool!

If you can see POS data in playback, you really should see it in preview as well. Only one thing in your statement is AVer's real missing part, which is the POS serach in remote console, they will add in future version I think. As for CM3000 and remote console, webviewer, to view POS remotely is definitely a spec, I'll suggest you to contact your distributor or even the FAE of AVerMedia for trouble shooting.

Good luck to you.

Hmm...I don't think so...

There should be option for you to have 32 channels VGA realtime in new version 7.3.

It doesn't make sense that you can have it in previous version but not in new version...

What version you tried and failed to have 32 channels VGA realtime?

You are right, I don't think the tech. supprt's reply is correct. Of course you can view POS transcation remotely if in live. Both webcam and remote console are able to do it.

Possible reason for the POS text missing is that you didn't choose the remote video quality to be high.

First log in with webviewer and then right click on the channel which you want to show POS data. Then, in the right click menu, you can set the video quality to be high, and supposely you'll see the POS text now.

Just make sure you have 7.3 or above version installed at the DVR site.

PS. If you choose LAN when you log in webviewer and remote console, the default video quality will be high.

Do you know that you can set video quality channel by channel remotely at webviewer or remote console? Right click on one split and then you can set video quality. And, to view POS, you have to set the quality to high.

Try that and let us know have you got it work. I am pretty sure AVer can let you view POS remotely.

I just like to reply to the original post here.

Actually what you said are all improved in AVer's latest CM3000 7.3, you should try that version, you can do remote backup easily as the independent backup software and you can have live monitor video in 1st screen instead of alarm video.

Just try it, they are going ahead of GV more and more now.

what's Ubuntu?

Would you mind explain a little?

The check box is greyed out in previous version. However, in 7.3, this option in enabled, I suppose AVerMedia heard what you want, hahaha...

If you are using their 7.3, then you can choose you want to save the original image from IP camera or you like it to be transcoded into different format. I think this is a very good design to for user.

As for IP camera support, if your camera is not on the list, you can only try your luck and see if you can find a protocol you can use with it.

Hi, everyine,

Among all the new features of GV8.2, there is one called "GV-Video Analytics". Does anyone has any idea about this feature? What's that? Is it something like intelligent video?

Besides, anyone know where can I download manual for GV8.2?

I've only receive upgrade file from my sourcer but no manual attached.

Thanks.

As I know, AVerMedia has just became official partner with Arecont.

There is no doubt you can receive full resolution and frame rate from Arecont IP cam with AVerMedia system.

I suggest you can try their new NVR(just hit the market I guess) or current PC based capture board.

BTW, did anyone noticed that ONSSI and Milestone are actually the same software?

Why is that?

If your DVR is old, go get a new one without worrying about whether your IP Cameras work with it.

I think you stilll think about the compatibility between your new DVR and existed IP encoder. It's highlt possible that they are not compatible.

With the number of cameras you are looking for, you would need to be looking at the Enterprise or Corporate version of the software where devisec are licenced individually. Compare this to a 50 camera DVR solution and you would need to purchase 64 channels making the last two cameras very costly!

Many thanks for your sharing. That dose help me a lot on the choice decision. However, there is one question, I thought Milestone sell their license on channel basis?

Why can't I buy exactly 50 channels?

I am thinking aboout build up pure IP cam solution, maybe 50-60 IP cameras.

Many pepople recommend Milestone system to me, but I heard it costs $150 per channel license, could somebody please advise me the strength of Milestone system?

Thanks a lot for your help!

I agree.

I've tried AVerMedia's capture board and new hybrid software, they really support many IP cam brands. Also, per what I heard form distributor, we can send our IP cam request back to AVerMedia and they would make it compatible with their system, it's awesome.

They appear to be a cost-effective solution.
