I've got an avermedia card I've had for about six months. I dusted it off because I have a client that wants to use it. The only thing is I can't find the original disc with the serial number on it. I can download the software but dont have a serial number. Does anybody have one they can give me? Why the stupid serial number in the first place????

I used Rorys 'how to tweak an XP DVR" but now I need to have the internet explorer reactivated for another application i need to run on the machine. What do I services do I need to activate to get it back?

When you hit the "Monitor" button it shows the names of all the cameras and their status. I have some hidden cameras I would like to not show up on that list. Is there any way to do this?

I think, there is no way to hide monitor status. Whats the point in having a hidden camera when it's so easily seen? Total flaw if you ask me.

I have a Canon VC-C4 camera with RS232 inputs. What is involved in hooking up and controlling it with a Geovision system. I'll probably end up using the combo card. thanks!

I won't sell a client anything but a dedicated computer to act as a DVR. I try to set it up to work as efficiently as possible. Here are some of the things I do. Any other suggestions to make the DVR work better? - Remove all "demo" programs and all other programs that are not used to run or view the system. - Change XP properties to "highest performance". Basically gets rid of all the pretty GUI stuff. - Remove all windows components that aren't needed, "i.e. outlook express, messenger, MSN, etc.) - Turn off screen saver - Set computer to "always on". - Defrag hard drive if needed. I'm sure there's more but I wanted to see what else you all do to increase effectiveness and performance of the system. Thanks!

I am having problem with remote playback on a single computer. I can log in, and pull up the calendar of events but nothing happens when i click on an event to play it. this is only happening on a single computer. Any suggestions? Is there a way to clean out the components downloaded to that computer and let them reinstall or something? Thanks

yup, it's a connection over the internet. At the remote location I can connect properly with one computer and not another in the same room.

I'm sure I'm missing something stupid here. My internet provider blocks port 80 so I moved to port 81 for the webserver. When I do that and then enter the IP address with :81 port designation I get a "403 forbidden, access denied" error. what gives? I tried multiple ports with the same results. Any suggestions?

Hmmm...now it works! I still can't get images on my blackberry like I can with my other systems like this but I imagine that has something to do with the way it handles ports. Sal, let me know if you still want the IP. I can PM it to you. I sure got some great troubleshooting tips with this thread, thanks so much!

I tried it on a computer on the LAN using both LAN IP and WAN IP with no luck. Oops i didn't have webserver running. Able to get connected with LAN IP and WAN IP from a computer on the LAN

I've changed the port in the DVR software to 81 which shows open. I'll check DNS server info. I'll try that right now.

Yup. Traffic is definately heading to the correct machine. It seems as through there is a problem as soon as I change the default HTTP Port to anything besides the default 80. I'm stumped. The ipconfig on the DVR is as follows: IP: 192.168.1.101 (ports forwarded on router to this machine) Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1

OK, reset the router and was able to set forwarding to allow ports to be opened. Now when I try to access the dvr remotely (outside LAN) I'm getting a HTTP Error 403 Forbidden and Access Denied. Ug!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any suggestions? This is crazy. I've never had this trouble getting connected remotely.

That doesn't work!?! I can reach the DVR using the LAN IP address of another computer on the network. Any suggestions as to why my router isn't opening ports?

what in the world? I still get "stealth" on all the opened ports, even when forwarded. Its a linksys BEFW11S4. The regular software works fine. I can use it from computer to computer in my LAN. I can't figure out why the ports aren't showing open. I'm using the "Forwarding" section of the router.

what in the world? I still get "stealth" on all the opened ports, even when forwarded. Its a linksys BEFW11S4.

It works fine over the LAN. Windows firewall off on all computers Active X enabled

You guys rock. Thanks for all the help. I'll try this stuff right now. Thanks for the tools rory. I ran it and I can't find ANY ports that show open even though I have them forwarded in the router. Any suggestions?

What do I need to do to view a Geovision system over a Blackberry 7100T (T-mobile)? Right now I get a blank screen when I log in to a camera. The only thing I can actually see if the "video lost" screen when a camera is down. Am I missing something. I'm in a gmrs area. thanks

I'm looking for a standalone DVR that good POS functions. It needs to have remote viewing as well. I want a price point DVR that I can make into a demo unit using a Pelican case and flat panel monitor. Any suggestions?

count me in!

How would I go about making a scope camera for a rifle? Kind of like they do at live-shot?

I was talking about using "flooded" direct burial cable. I would use direct burial fiber. It has a thick outer casing with two fiberglass rods that run down the length of the cable. It is "flooded" with a gelatinous material. You shouldn't have any problem with the fiber in this application. You would have to break the fiberglass rods well before you would damage the fiber. Berk-tek has this type of cable.

It's all good!
