And your ok with that? That is an option that I can set. It isn't forced on to me. I'm just trying to state that it doesn't have to be a power outage to reboot the camera. Basically, if the camera is ever rebooted, the IR will automatically turn on even if I have it set to be Off. The kicker is, after the camera turns back on, the setting still shows it as being Off.

Hi everyone! This is a warning about the GeoVision Arctic Cameras so you don't run into the same problem that I am. I have had these cameras running since November. They have worked great! But, there is one problem. Even though I have the IR shutoff in the camera settings, if the power gets reset to the camera, the IR will turn back on. This of course ruins my vision of our facilities at night. I have been going back and forth with USAVisionSys about this issue. They kept saying it was fixed in a firmware update. Finally, last week I e-mailed GeoVision directly. Here is their response: So I recommend that if you are looking at these cameras, look at other options first.

There is also an option in the camera to reboot it at a set time everyday. So it doesn't have to be a power loss to cause this BUG in the programming.

Max, you are correct. Tom, I am not asking for them to re-write the firmware so it is always off. I'm asking them to correct the problem so it remembers the settings that I set. All of the other settings in the camera are remembered. Just not the IR. I chose these cameras originally so I didn't need to buy 3rd party licenses for the GeoVision software and also so it could handle our cold weather.

Hi. to be honest its not a camera fault ........buy an IR camera then you want IR to reset if you have a power loss. having geo sell an IR that does not switch IR on after power loss would be a bad camera. you could always tape off IR The problem is, the camera is not following what I set in the camera settings when the power is reset to the camera. It should always follow the settings. The worst part is that after the power is reset, the camera settings still show the IR is shutoff. But it is actually turned on. I have to flip the setting to "On" and then back to "Off" to turn the IR off. I shouldn't have to do that. This is a poor design on GeoVision's part.

Hi! I'll get straight to the point. Our thefts are increasing and I am looking at installing gates at our facilities. I currently use Geovision for our cameras and I would like to use them as well for the access control. Most likely I would use the GV-AS400. Basically, I need a system that is compatible with geovision to open multiple long sliding gate by Wiegand on street side and most likely push button in our yard. The longest gate will be at 75 feet. Also, I would need a wireless setup so I can install remotes in all of our semi-trucks and be able to open them at least 300 yards away. Can someone please point me in the right direction for this stuff?

Be careful. Those cables usually do not have pin 9 in the cable. Even though it is advertised as 15 pin, it will most likely be 14 pin. I once used one of these cables for a temporary extension for my GV1480 and I wasn't able to view camera 7 because of the missing pin.
