Live display on the gv-1480-16 is real time. (Integrated DSP with TV Out) Smart Recording will allocate more FPS to cameras with motion.

Geo doesn't test on AMD, there i don't suggest running on AMD. Avermedia is certified on AMD.

The new 3 year warranty is nice and almost unheard of for similar products. That's right, 3 year warranty on geo cards.

Geovision like most specifiy max FPS at the lowest possible resolution (320 x 240). To record at 720 x 480 (Full D1), your max FPS would be about 120 FPS on that card.

I have also have a more economical option than the ones you mentioned. [Please don't link to non-dealer pricing in a dealer section. -Thomas]

most VCR's have an RCA input (yellow). If your does, you simply need a BNC to RCA adaptor and then need to set the VCR to record the input from the RCA (yellow) input instead of the F input

This is definitely possible. You need to address the camera to address 1. Then enable ptz in the geo config and map the camera address 1 using ptz mapping. Of course you need to hardwire the data pair in the rs-485 connection of the geovision.

My first comment is forget wireless. No point. Asking for instability. Should not be too difficult to run and hide wires outside of a house.

Geo is the leader in terms of number of features. Avermedia is something to strongly consider. There new software supports both analog and network cameras providing tremendous flexibility.

Hey all I am at the show. For anyone that wants to me, please pm me.

sounds good, not a high res megapixel camera like the iqeye series however. nice to know apc is in the network camera biz now.

cool, what is the resolution on that camera?

we carry the IqEye line and are having a demo in early May (after ISC). This is the type of product the end user has to see to understand the price and benefits. Once a customer see the benefits for themselves, the sell will be a lot easier. -High Megapixel resolution -many addition software packages (LPR, counter, multicam software) -can be integrated anywhere -intelligent features such as bandwidth throtling based on motion -integrates with Milestone Software (we also carry)

you should first connect the cameras each straight to a monitor to isolate the issue to your either the dvr or the camera/power/wiring/connectors

IQeye's MegaPixel line will give you maxium resolution and allow you to digitally zoom in while maintaining good quality.

We will be there!

IO accepts inputs from sensors, etc and relay sends output to devices such as door strike, etc. with relay, you always need an IO and GV-net

Thanks DuDe! We use the Geovision GV-Relay box with it. Works fine.

We have tested all of the features. They work great. One example, we hooked up a panic button to a IO and are able to have certain cameras record and ptz's moved to specific postions based on the button being pressed and unpressed.

Anyone know who is the manufacturer of this DVR? http://www.cctvimports.com/product_info.php?products_id=247

that looks cool, have you seen that one in action?

nah, one of my customers installed one, price is cheap for MPEG4, but he said the recording quality is not very impressive (as you'd expect)

Tom Technology That's who it is!!!! Oh Yeah! Thanks for the help.

Any rca mic will do. There are cheapies and more advanced ones (with noice reduction, etc.)

Sara What model PTZ do you have? What dvr are you conneting it to? Your PTZ likely sends data in RS485. This signaly tupe can be transmitted over a twisted pair cable. It typically gets converted to 232 before connection to a PC. Geovision offers what is called a GV-NET card. Many dvrs build this type of converter into the unit.
