    Hi all. I would like to take a moment to (re)introduce myself. I am Sal Visone from Digital Watchguard a wholesale cctv stocking distributor. I have not been as active on this forum lately since my wife and I had some exciting news, the birth of my son Sal III.

     

    Anyway, I am here to assist all in anything cctv related. I will try my best to post on any topic I feel that I can add useful information to. Feel free to email me or contact my sales department at Digital Watchguard for all of your cctv product needs.

    yeah for now geo only supports their own video servers. They will probably support IP cameras when they have no other choice but to. Luckily there are different manufacturers that are good for different situations.

     

    have you checked out Geo's Control Center software yet? We have it runing with 4 monitors (256 camera display). Pretty powerful stuff.

    We carry and like both manufacturers. I think the video quality on both products are similar. I would say Geovision has more features but Avermedia software package is powerful enough for many applications.

    Geo Advantages

    -more software features

    -more well known

    -more resources dedicated to cctv

    -more accessories and better documentation

    Aver Advantages

    -cheaper on the average

    -some cards are stackable

    -support for axis and sony IP Cameras

    I agree with Rory.

     

    Also, I always like to compare product vs product, rather than manufacturer vs manufacturer.

     

    No manufacturer make 100% great products so testing and sharing results are huge.

     

    In short, no manufacturer is the best (that is why we carry many different brands and stock what we feel is the best from each manufactuer)

    First , I do not like your machine specs at all for the GV-1480.

     

    Athlon is not a good starting point for Geovision since geo does not test on this platform. you want to go with the 945 chipset and and a genuine intel processor.

     

    The combo cards are picky when it comes to hardware combinations, took us a while to find the right formula. Here is a machine with specs that we build and know works welll with the GV-1480.

    On another note, that Sony PTZ Camera is not a Sony Camera. It is a camera with a Sony CCD chip inside. Not the same thing and I am sure it won't last as long as if it was made by Sony, however it may be fine for you application. What protocol does it run on? I reccomend Merit Lilin for use with Geo since its protocol is fully supported.

    As far as storage calculation, please visit http://www.geovision.com.tw/english/index.asp and see the HDD calculator on the bottom right. It will help.

     

    I think an ideal resolutiion for Geo is 1024 x 768 depending on the size and quality of the monitor.
