Hi im trying to get the auto scan PTZ feature working. The manual is not very helpful anyone here know how to make the PTZ auto scan/loop through the presets.

Im venturing into IP cams for the first time and wondered is it possible to use wireless IP cams on my BNC DVR. Ie wireless to BNC convertor ?

Thanks, I get really great wi-fi signal all over my property. Even at the end of my garden I can surf perfect. Which gives alot of posbilities for a wireless camera which I would not be a able to run cables to. I think I will just run a couple of additional cameras on a pc, just it would have been nice to keep things together. btw I have tried the other wireless (cant think what you call it, non wi-fi where you convert a analog camera) and that sucked very poor.

Thanks for all the replies, I have the AVtech AVD715 DVR I did before that have a PC setup with a Geovision card. But was a PITA to be honest which is why I went standalone and since then (couple of years now) has been 100% painless. But at the moment im setting up a wireless IP camera system for my father as he hates cables and in doing so im seeing the benefit of being wireless and wondering if I could incorporate a couple of wireless cams into my own setup.

Hi im looking for some IP cams under the £200 mark Things I need are wireless, does not need to be outdoors and needs IR I was thinking about the Y-Cam Black Wireless Indoor IP Camera http://www.use-ip.co.uk/y-cam-black-wireless-indoor-ip-camera.html Ive been reading mixed reviews on them, but some of the reviews are quite old so I guess they have been improved on since. Anyone with experience of the above. Thanks

I recieved my camera today (y-cam black knight) and all in all im quite happy with the camera itself, but the software is quite poor both the supplied one and the multi live one from their website. Couple of things that I need from the software is sound/beep on alarm and to be able to mask the area for detection rather then the whole area that it does. Are there any good software options preferably free ?

Thanks, ive ordered one to check it out. But I do need atleast 3 more and I may decide to mix. Ricky your welcome to pm me what your selling.

Ooops sorry was a typo should have been -P have the ports correct now. However still not up and running, if I do... sudo ./snavtclient -s -H xx.xx.xx.xx -P 8080 -q 0 & Should that pop up a window with the cctv in? What I get is aquanuke@TOSHIBA-User:~$ sudo ./snavtclient -s -H xx.xx.xx.xx -P 8080 -q 0 & [1] 5533 aquanuke@TOSHIBA-User:~$ and nothing else. After a few minutes that then stops [1]+ Stopped Im running ubuntu remix

Hi im wondering if your program does not support port numbers higher then XX as if I do ./snavtclient -s -H 192.168.1.104 -p 8080 I errors with aquanuke@TOSHIBA-User:~/Desktop/snavtclient-0.0.4$ ./snavtclient -s -H 192.168.1.104 -p 8080 ./snavtclient: SDLNet_TCP_Open: Couldn't connect to remote host ./snavtclient: login to 192.168.1.104:80 failed Should I reconfigure my DVR with a XX port range ? Thanks Chris

Hi im trying to get the auto scan PTZ feature working. The manual is not very helpful anyone here know how to make the PTZ auto scan/loop through the presets. The manual says.. O ther then pressing the AUTO button I dont know what else to try, there is also on the remote control a blue menu button (blue is for PTZ functions) but this button does not seem to do anything either. Thanks

Hi im a bit of a newb. My first cctv camera was a cheap ebay day night one and the picture was very close. How can I explain like nearer to you which was great. I then bought a more expensive camera as I started building up my setup. The picture was great but was further away, ie camera mounted in same location but the actual picture was further out. If I say was focusing on my car the first camera would give me a nice shot all around the car but then my new camera would be zoomed right up to the windscreen. When choosing a camera what specs should I be looking at to find out how far in/out the picture will be. Thanks.

Thanks very informative site. I could spend a fortune their, but how do you buy anything theres no prices or shopping cart. Weird

Hi im trying to set a pattern but not having any joy, using Geo ver 7. I tried looking through the manual but cant find anything. What I would like to do is have is a pattern that loops through preset 1-6 is that possible and how do you set it? Ive tried doing this which dosent work.. In the PTZ box Select Auto Select Set pattern 1 * then I select some presets to run thorough Select Set pattern stop Thanks

Sorry fixed it, had to setup the camera mapping bit.

Hi I cant seem to enable control of my PTZ camera remotely. In the networking tab I select "webcam server" a box pops up with server setup and I select "video" in that there is the PTZ setting "allowed PTZ camera" but all the camera selections are greyed out.

Hi Ive got a PTZ camera trying to connect with Geo GV800 and I have a com port adaptor. First thing, theres 4 wires on the ptz red black orange yellow. The black and red go to the power supply that leaves me two orange and yellow which Ive put into the com adaptor. Is that correct as the com adaptor has 4 terminals? Just two into the PC? Now is there an easy way to tell which com port on my PC im using? Does the GV800 only support Protocol D ? Protocol P seems to have settings for a higher baud rate 9600 where as Protocol D only gives me 2400 settings Thanks!

Not to worry, all working now Although I set the address port to 1, only worked when I selected port 0 in the Geovision software.

Im wondering if Ive done this wrong.. I bought this adapter. Will it work, or do I need a Geo GV-net card. If I need a gv-net card wheres a good place to get one cheap.

Hi, my web cam server has been running fine for about a year then yesterday I added a new second hard drive for more recording space and now my webcam server wont start. It comes up on reboot then the 'web' word disappears from the right hand side of the window. If I click on 'network' 'webcam sever' it comes up 'web' for a second on the right hand side then disappears. And I dont get the pop up window with the server selections. Any ideas? I have taken the new hard disk out and put it all back to before, but no luck. And all my ports are open correctly etc.

btw this is Geovision 7 with the dongle.

Speaking to a PTZ supplier today he said that if the Geo GV-800 supports.. "the protocol of Pelco-D,Pelco-P and etc" Then his unbranded PTZ will work. The etc bit is alittle open. But does the GV-800 support that protocol and does that sound true. Thanks. Also is there any point having a day and night PTZ if it will always be zoomed out?

I thought Id got my motion detection working reasonably nice.Then it started raining and now seems to start recording every 2 minutes. Any tips on use with rain, its not actually raining hard just a light drizzle.

Ive read that Geovision supports dual monitors. Where by you have the recording panel in one and the playback panel in another. But I cant find any reference to this and the GV-800 card. Does the GV-800 support this? (im running V7 btw)

thanks

Sorry found it The pop up box when you activate Web server you select 'white' and it appears.
