keefe007 0 Posted August 11, 2005 All I can say is finally! With this new feature set in place, I will have more confidence than ever in selling Geovision solutions. v7.1 is expected to be ready in Q4, 2005 MPEG4 (ASP) & H.264 Video Codec: ---New Two new video compression codecs are added. One of them is Geo MPEG4 Advanced Simple Profile, following industry's standard (MPEG-4 Part2). The other one is Geo H.264 using compression technique defined in MPEG-4 Part10, delivering crip, clear video in much smaller files. For example, if GeoMPEG 4 can record one month, then MPEG 4 ASP can record 1.2~1.5 month and H.264 can record up to 3 months. Video Mask Protection: ---New This new video mask filter is used to hidet sensible area for live viewing and by using RSA encryption password-protection for later retrievable. For example, during the usage of ATM Keypad to withdraw cash from ATM machine, user's ID/Password can be hide from security people's viewing but can be retrieved later as needed with password. Advanced Motion Detection: ---New This new feature is used to set sensibility of motion detection for predefined areas. Each region can be customized with different level of sensibility. For example, Scene Change Detection: ---New It can detect malfunction, obstruction or tampering of the camera, by change of the view angle, scene, or focus clearness. For example, when crime is commited, criminal can change camera's position to avoid their behavior is recorded. This new feature can help security guard to responde right away after getting alert. Control Center: ---New It is a centralize management application to manage all DVR system's setting, view all video's archives and control their I/O everything remotely from one single terminal station. For example, when one DVR detects fire in a building, operator can trigger rest of DVRs' alarm from one click as well as opening all DVRs' outputs (like doors) for people to exit. Codec Storage Calculator: ---New This new tool is used to analyze and calculate the precise storage requirement for your DVR's application and the test result is based on your actural PC configuration. PTZ Profile Utility: ---New This new utility helps you to create new PTZ Dome's configuration file (.ini) to be used in combination of your DVR system. For example, when requesting GeoVision to support new dome, you only need to give us protocol document instead of sending us dome. Swap HDD Utility: ---New Upon insertion of an external storage (like USB, Firewire or Serial ATA), your DVR recording storage capacity is added automatically without turning off. The recording path is added automatically and Viewlog can also be transferred for later view on other PC. For example, when HDD#1 is almost fulled, you can immediately insert HDD# 2 for continuous recording without turning off DVR to loose video data. New Profile Management: ---New Fast Backup & Restore Manager is the new application that lets you use your custom skin for your DVR System. You can customize your favorite DVR's applications and export all the settings to make additional duplication. Spot Monitor: ---New It can export selected video channels and display layout for DSP controller's TV-Output. For example, if camera#1 is confidential, then you can only output camera 2~16 to TV monitor. Audio Playback in Smart Search: --Improvement Smart Search in Viewlog application now supports audio playback 500 Subscribers Support in Center V2: --Improvement The central monitoring application, Center V2 now supports 500 subscribers UPnP NAT, Webcam Remote Control: --Improvement Using revolutionary Universal Plug and Play feature, all the required TCP/IP ports are configured automatically and the new webcam remote control can be resized, video attributes like Hue, Brightness, Saturation or Contrast are adjustable. DVR recording start/stop, schedule recording start/stop can be remotely controlled through Web interface. POS Live viewer: --Improvement Now it supports multiples POS transaction's Live View on one screen. Each window can be group together or divided into single. The list of transaction's items and text attribute can be customized as well. New Schedule Planner Management: --Improvement The new schedule planner is now easier to configure (in 2 steps using Setup Wizard), timeline control using Drag & Drop and all the settings can be exported to an XML file for later implementation. Introduction of New Hardware GV-MP4: Real-time MPEG4 hardware compression You may choose to purchase GV-MP4 cards in addition to your GV-system. Each GV-MP4 cards (MPEG4 hardware compression card) gives 4 video and audio channels recording at resolution 720x480 (NTSC) or 720X576 (PAL) with low CPU usage. GV-Data Capture V2E (with Ethernet Port) The new POS companion has an additional Ethernet port for LAN connection and the old parallel port is replaced with RS232 DB-25 (Male Connector).

sal 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Looking like Early to Mid December for 7.1. We tested it and it is still very buggy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Yeah I would rather wait for something that isn’t going to cause as many headaches. Thanks for the update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keefe007 0 Posted November 9, 2005 7.1/2 is so vaporware. Come mid-December it won't be here and the new date will be January. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Oh, I'm sure it will be out before Duke Nukem Forever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camelwalk 0 Posted November 10, 2005 Oh, I'm sure it will be out before Duke Nukem Forever. Heh, I wouldn't go so far as to call it vaporware - they said to expect it Q4, and we're at the halfway mark. The software looked good at ISC East, but I'm most excited about the POS data capture Ethernet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottj 0 Posted November 10, 2005 The Data Capture modules are rarely needed to interface POS, if anything they have been known to cause lockups to the POS printer if you connect them according to the Geo supplied installation drawings. It is best to just connect them straight through to the DVR and utilize the Tx/Rx/Ground pin assignments needed to communicate with the POS. And I have to agree with Sal, we have had 7.1 Beta for months and it is wicked buggy. Scottj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper 0 Posted December 8, 2005 Any news on the release? Are they pulling a Microsoft? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jasper 0 Posted December 9, 2005 Where has it been released to? Just checked Geo’s homepage, still see 7.05 there. Maybe you saw a beta? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper 0 Posted December 12, 2005 I guess this was another joke. I am going to start keeping a list of the people who say the new version is out before it really is. What are we up to on the false notifications, versions 7.5 or >, 7.1 would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WildCard 0 Posted December 12, 2005 Here's someone with it posted (v7.05) http://www.ezcctv.com/software-download.htm#geosoftware -WC- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottj 0 Posted December 12, 2005 7.1 was delayed by Geo. The latest is that there will be an exchange program in order to use it (but then again that could change). Sit tight, it is eventually coming. Scottj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CCTVDude 0 Posted January 5, 2006 Does anyone know if 7.1 will address the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) issue with the combo cards??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottj 0 Posted January 5, 2006 What issue do you mean? The combo cards use a completely different chipset, thus AGC is not required. Scottj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CCTVDude 0 Posted January 5, 2006 AGC let's u adjust the gain for each camera within the software and can really help with lighting issues. Especially w/ cameras that aren't full featured and don't have a gain control of their own - like bullets & covert stuff. In the Geo software the ACG option is grayed out on the combo cards...
