Ok, list updated. Please someone buy all this crap. My wife is gunna KILL ME if i doesn't get out of the closet!

K, list updated!

Sorry if this isn't the right forum, I didn't see a better one... I tried to reply to a PM, and it shows my reply message in my Outbox, but I see no way to 'Send' it. Am I just missing it? Or will it send automatically at some point??? Thx for the help!

thx guys!

Yes, everything is in one big partition, I cleared some space and now all is fine... I was thinking about formatting, but maybe I'll give Partition Magic a try... thx

I have a GV-800 running w/ ver 7.04. It was running fine for months, but now I get an error every few minutes that says: "No new entry will be added to System Log if the storage capacity of the system log is lower then requirement" What does this mean exactly? Am I just running out of space?

Does the card have Audio support? If so is it enabled? Like with the Grovision cards, when Audo is enabled, the capture resolution is limited...

thx guys!

I have to format a machine and reload windows and Geo. Is there a way to backup all the Geo config info (users, camera names, ptz settings, etc) so I can put it back easily? Or does it have to be done manually?

We are putting together a CCTV company that plans on outsourcing the tech support calls. We are looking for people with practical CCTV experience (especially GeoVision) to be there as Tech Support but with Customer Service in mind. The plan is to have an 800# that rings to 2-3 tech support people silmutaneously and who ever answers first gets the call. You then help the customer as best you can and get paid per minute by us at the end of the month. It is still early and it hasn't been hammered out exactly, but the plan is to pay based on $25-$30/hour. So, if you are dependable, know what you're doing and could use some extra cash, please PM me for more info. Thanks!

Just wondering what type of extreem jobs you guys have done. One of the coolest we did is this one. We put a PTZ on solar out in the middle of nowhere. Wireless video back to the DVR in the construction trailer like 1 mile away. Have a PTZ keyboard & LCD in a box at the base for manual aiming by the job site foreman. And of course the DVR is online with a T1 for the project manager in NY to play with the PTZ. Also when we did this, the crane installing the cement pole sunk in the everglades swamp and had to be rescued by a helicopter (sorry I don't have pics of that). Anyone top this?

Very Nice! I wasn't trying to say we're the best around or anything. Just wondering what other cool jobs other people did... We are about to do another for the same people but with wireless telemitry for the ptz... fun stuff!!!

Lots of talk fellas, let's see some pics!

We're about to start a project where we need to have 3 cameras about 900' away from the DVR. The plan was to use Cat-5 and a balun on either end as we have done in the past, but someone mentioned Cat-6. Anyone whick is a better choice for this? Thx!

Ok then, with all the info here, I think this is the plan: For 900-1000' run, I going to try Cat-5e, with a solid core. Passive transmitting Balun / Active receiving Balun. Thx for the help. I'll post the results.

Started w/ Twist-on with white electrical tape Year 2 went to 3-piece crimp Since Year 4 only us compression - Best Choice ever made. A few pennies more, but fast and relyable!

Awesome info guys. Thanks! We are powering the cables locally thank god, but we are considering adding 1 siamese RG-59/18-2 for one of the cams that's only 150' away in the same conduit. How much will having a power wire in there effect things? And what about Cat-5 vs. Cat5e??? Which is the better choice for this?

I get the active/passive issue, I'm just trying to decide the best wire choice to start with. So then Cat-3 UTP is a better choice then Cat-5? And if I have to stay with Cat-5, which is a better choice between Cat-5 & Cat5e? & thx guys!

Expalin a little more Rory... Previously we have been using Cat-5 w/ passive/active baluns depending on distance. Someone suggested Cat-6 for longer runs. Where does UTP fit in? Aren't Cat-5 & Cat-6 both UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair). And if so, which is a better chioce for long runs? Or is UTP separate from Cat-5/6??????

We have an application coming up that needs to put a DVR in an area where there is no building or anything, but there is power there. Is there anything on the market that is weatherproof w/ A/C to put a DVR in? Has anyone done this before?

Everything is so small... We want to put a DVR, LCD Monitor, Power Supply & UPS under A/C. I think we'll be building our own...

Yes, air conditioning. Get's hot here in Miami, bet you know all about the heat though...

I'll send them an e-mail, but those are small and no A/C...

Is there any way to use a Geo card on a Laptop? Is there a USB or PCMCIA to PCI device? Any ideas?
