Hi, Does anybody knows exactly when to use RG6 ? Normally people use RG59U for CCTV. but I have seen some comments where they suggest RG6 for better quality. large distance. Does anybody knows about this distances. Any recommendations about cable for CCTV is most welcome.

There are 3 programs: GV-DVR Hybrid DVR GV-NVR I would like to know if the GV-DVR (Card based) support also IP cameras, or do I have to install Hybrid DVR ? I need to install just 2 IP Cameras, so I don't need GV-NVR, and the Hybrid maybe is not necessary. Any recommendation ?

When I tried to connect remotely using remote viewlog application, I got an error after Initial Database bar is loaded: "Unable to locate database. Please verify and try again" This happens only when I tried to connect outside the lan. Locally does not fail. The port 5552 is open and redirected correctly. Any Idea ?

Hi, I cant get rid of this problem. Whenever I try to load the webcam server, I get this error alert: Load Audio Server Failed! The webcam server doens't start due to this problem. DVR Card Specs: GV-1120 12 Port Software Vesion: 8.11 English Please tell me what to do. Thanks.

I changed the motherboard. The problem still there ! Motherboard: FOXCONN 6627MA The sound is perfectly working (I can hear music and sounds). Still I get this terrible error alert. Can the problem be related to the physical dvr card? GV-1120 (12 Inputs) I have installed again the drivers, the Geovision main system. I'm starting to think that maybe the only alternative is reinstalling the OS (Windows XP SP2).

Yes, all the drivers are perefectly working. I have installed more than 30 geovision cards, and this is the first time I get this problem.

Hi, Using multicam remote live view, if I use the magnifying glass tool to increase the size, the image gets pixelated. Normally this doesn't happen, because there's some blur effect to avoid this pixelated distortion. What do I have to change in geovision configuration to fix this ?

No. When you magnify the image normally geovision add some blur effect to make pixels soft. So, the image even if you magnify it, looks aceptable. But this effect is not present in my situation. I'm sure there's something related to de-interlace, interlace and direct draw overlay options.

After installing geovision card, I get this error: initialize directsound failed How can I resolve that ?

I found superscan software very handy to scan open ports. you can download it here: http://www.foundstone.com/?subnav=resources/navigation.htm&subcontent=/resources/proddesc/superscan.htm

Hi, When I try to connect via browser to geovision system, After I select multiview connection and I enter the login and password, the background stays with Execute but the popup window camera application never comes ! What is hapenning ? I tried with other geovision servers and they work. Thanks.

I found the problem. port 5550 was closed. Thanks !

I'm having the same problem with a combo card. I have already downloaded the latest Catalyst software, and I have .net framwork 1.1. (is version 2.0 neccesary?) In geovision system - >system options, the directdraw overlay is disabled but checked. Anyway, I still see the interlacing effect on movement. The video source is set to 720*480 De-interlaced. There's also an option called "DSP overlay" and it's checked. If I uncheck that the video becomes completely unblur, I mean, totally shaped, and looks terrible. SO, How can I de-interlace video with a combo card ?? Any solution ??

Is it posible to expand a 4-port 120fps geovision DVR to a 8 port ?? is there enay acccesory, are they stackable ?? What can be done ??

Sorry for my explanation but the idea was so simple. Some DVR brands allow you to add more than one PCI DVR card to your PC. for example, you buy 1 DVR card with 4 video inputs, you put it in one PCI slot. Then you want another 4 video inputs, so you can buy another dvr card and add it to another PCI slot. suddenly you will have 8 video inputs !! But seems that geovision DVR's are not capable to work in that way, so my question is : Is there any other solution to expand your video inputs other than buy a single 8 video input DVR card ?? Anyway, thanks for answering. lpdog, thanks for clear my doubt.

LEt's put it simple. a GV-250 (20 fps) with 4 BNC video inputs. http://www.geovision.com.tw/english/product/GV-250.htm I want to add more video inputs to this card. Is it possible, am I clear ? [/url]

YEs. But I didn't find any accessory like a video input extension, etc. The manual says that you can't add more than 1 PCI card. So, what's the solution ?

huper vs. geovision ?

YEs, I just can't find how to disable that function. Geovision system log out due to video lost. but I want to keep the system up even if there's no signal. Any Idea ?? i get a message "...watchdog try to reboot sytem"

nice idea. But I 'll have to this also with the multiview page. Geovision should add an option to let the guest connect only single view. This way the demostration can be with less options and less confusion for the dummies.

Does anybody knows for what purpose is the contdown function in the guest account ? After the time is over, yo can connect again ! so, what's the benefit ? Also, when the guest connects, I would like to disable the snapshot function. is it possible ?

nice idea. But Will have to this with the multiview page.

Does anybody knows the resistence (ohms) of a good RG-59U 1 foot piece ? Using the multimeter can be a good way to check the difference. or not ?

Did you mean rg59 or rg59u ?

Does anybody knows ?
