    Cannot be too carefull

    Had to install an access control pc at a hosiptal this week after hours of meetings they insisted it be placed in their data center for security backup etc. We racked the pc and then THEIR teck plugged it into 208 AC. It was an interesting few seconds at least we did not set off the fire supression. It was not really his fault they had 208 and 120 plug strips with idenical plugs on them, which I would think is some kind of code violation. Nobody was hurt and all we had to replace was a power supply but I am glad we did not take down the whole data room.

    video playback problems

    I have two servers 8.01 that are giving an error on remote playback This person's pc plays all the other server's files with no problem but these two give pixelatted junk video I have logged into these with other computers and no problem I also logged into the same data ports and still no problem I assume that the problem is in the indivaduals computer but why does the problem only occure on two of 6 servers he is monitoring. I checked setup on both boxes and can find no differences. Also i saved some files as AVI and they played upside down on one person's computer again I think that is a media player problem but when we updated the player same result. Thanks

    Control Center Monitor Question

    Look at the Matrox website I have the triple monitor ver and it seems fine. Also Ror's remote view software allows you to have multiple servers open

    Too fast playback in saved AVI files

    Thanks for the replys I will check the frame recording rates. We will probably load the viewlog on this person's computer. He has a struggle with technolgy period and I was trying to make the process as simple as possible.

    Too fast playback in saved AVI files

    I have a system Ver 8.0 1240 board When you save from viewlog by clicking on the avi the files it creates are way too fast to view in playback from windows media player. even if you choose slow speed from media player they are still to fast. Am I missing a geovision setting someplace? They seem OK when playing back off from the view log on the server Thanks

    Problems with octupus cable

    Has anyone else having problems with the cables supplied with the geo cards? They seem to be the biggest problem with video lost etc. I am very carefull about tieing them down but it seems I am getting about one connection out of thirty that fails. Are there any alternate cables avaliable. I have used the old D style connections and they are hard to work with in the field.

    ladders

    We are usually limited to a fiberglass ladder or a lift. Many of our commerical places do not allow aluminum ladders.

    VGA extender

    These would be the cables I would use too. I have tried the splitter cables and they did not work well trying to use a monitor and a projector.

    VGA extender

    I am working on the same thing. A real cheap and good way to go is use a SMARTVIEW splitter. It takes the video out form the pc sends one output to the monitor and the other to another monitor or projector. You can use regular premade vga cables and they can be purchased real cheap. Premade up to 100'. signal is amplified for use up to 250'. I can pm you with source if you want.

    Cabling Estimates

    I sure don't think the 4-6 hrs are off and if anything the hours for interior may be a little light. If you figure the time to test the ptz before you mount it. The time hammerdrilling into concret, which we run into a lot it is pretty easy to use that much time. We used to just trust the camera was working before we mounted it but we had a bad one and we were trouble shooting off from a ladder. Also oftentimes we use a seperate power supply for the ptz (bosch) and that takes some time to setup. If my labor is in error it always seems the project took longer than anticipated not that it was easier.

    Field Monitor/Tester

    Ideal has come out with their version of the same thing. Our suplier said the IDEAL branded one would be avaliable Feb 15 but it appears to have a higher price than the unit described.

    anybody else having problems with Paypal?

    The solution was in front of me all the time! Let them steal my id when they see the mess they are getting into they may want to pay me to take it back Kind of like Twain's Ranson of Red Chief
  19. i was notified of someone trying to use my account 3 weeks ago and I went through the drill of changing all the security stuff about 4 times and they are still locking me out of the account. The other problem is that I did not have enough money in paypal to pay for the item in question and they made an attempt to add money from my bank account. It did not work but I had to check out everything and cancel my check card Just wondering if anyone else has had any problems or am I an isolated case?

    anybody else having problems with Paypal?

    Up date The fun continues I finally got my paypal fixed to where I can start using the account and I have to resend a bunch of personal info copy of utility bill etc. Account is in good standing so now I can cancel. The same day I get a call from Dell seems someone has opened an account in my name and has purchased a computer. I have to call dell but the only way I can talk to someone is to give out my SS number. I am thinking I am being setup but take the chance and sure enough I have an account. Now to cancel this I have to get a statement notarized etc. So far I have lost no money just aggraviation. I also put a froud alert on my credit reports. Well it gives me something to do when the temp outside is -5
  21. if you splice you need to get a good underground splice enclosure. If we need over 500 ft we just figure the cost of a full roll of cable. If we get to use the remainder fine if not well it has been paid for.

    Wireless CCTV in a hospital - RFI?

    I have to agree with all the above respondents. We do a lot of work for a hosiptal and they are adding all types of wireless gadgets almost on a monthly basis. Nurse calls, mobile paging, baby monitors that will alarm if someone trys to take an infant from the peds department etc. We also fine we have many dead spots due to the construction of the building. So you often have to make a lot of difficult wire runs to setup access points. My main objection is what happens if some other wireless device stops working when "your equipment" is installed. It could get very interesting trying to point to the right problem.
