Yes, had that problem on the first unit I built with 8.5. Posted the issue elsewhere but got no answers. I could slow down the playback, then speed it up again until 1X, then no more. At least I'm not alone ! I downgraded that unit to 8.4.0.1, have stayed with that on new units this week as well. I'll wait for 8.5.1 I think.

32 in total is the maximum.

IP cameras don't show up on the analog spot monitor outputs. You need to use the new "Digital matrix" feature instead in v8.4 which uses a VGA/DVI/HDMI connector from a graphics card.

Go into General settings, passwords. Look at the webcam tab for the username that you are connecting to remotely, make sure the new cameras are checked in there.

PTZ selection has moved to the "Accessories" menu option in v8.4

v8.4 will support Onvif, so many more cameras will come into the fold. Due next week. Also, Geovision are dropping the requirement for a dongle if you use their cameras. That will make an all Geovision IP solution very competitive.

Digital matrix does not support PIP or PAP.

So do you know the answer to Rorys question or not ?

Option two I'm afraid, re-arrange the wires. Spot monitor is programmable, but not the main screen.

if it can be done with ip it should also work with standard cameras. this is just the screen view. with the new geovision it has drag and drop. place mouse over camera hold down right mouse button drag camera to new location let mouse go. The setup for IP and analog is very different, with IP you get to choose which camera position you want. There is no drag and drop feature on the main screen, I don't know what you are talking about there.

Not possible with analog cameras, can be done with IP.

It is true. I tried to get some last year, but no joy. They told me they felt they were no longer needed because of the matrix functions in v8.3. Crazy decision.

No, only the body of the mail shows the camera name, not the subject.

Try the new GV-Multicast included with 8.3, very similar.

Seriously?? Oh man. I already sent an email to the customer telling him the good news. Didn't we used to have a Geovision contact on here? I forget his name, maybe he can provide us with an update on this.

That's not correct actually. If your customer has an 8 channel card, then they can have a maximum of 4 IP cameras, and will have to reduce the number of analog cameras to 4. They would need a 16 channel analog card with 8 cameras on it, then they could add up to 8 IP cameras. This may change in v8.3, but that's how it's done at the moment in 8.2.

No, Geo currently only supports a max of 16 cameras per recorder. Rumored to change in v8.3.

Could I get the password please ? I have tried to PM you

Just finished installing XP SP3 on my workstation, went fine. PC seems a little quicker doing everything too. Long live XP.

Thanks Orion.

Just noticed that the IP cameras aren't shown on the spot monitor. Anyone know if this is a bug or just the way it is ?

Hi James, SNC-CS50 and SNC-P1. I figured out the audio since, but the lack of contrast/brightness control is a real nuisance.

I got my NVR dongle yesterday. Now have 2 Sony IP cams running alongside 14 analogs on v8.2. Installed fine, Geo auto-detected them. Bit of a drawback that the contrast/brightness controls in System configure don't work on the IP cams, so you have to log in to each cameras own setup page to tweak these. My IP cams have build in microphones, anyone have any ideas how to record the audio from these in 8.2 ?
