Where do I set the webcam resolution? I checked all the setting and can't find it. I have a gv-600 card running 8.33 I think i am stuck at 320x240 only...

Hate to bump but... bump, lol Seriously how can I increase the webcam resolution?

Hey all, I wrote a GV mod, and I thought I'd give back to the community for helping me setup my card. http://treas0n.blogspot.com/2010/05/geovision-iphone-webbrowser-alternative.html Hope u all like it.

i don't have that version, but give it a shot and let us know if it worked

Thanks Guys... It is simplistic in that it doesn't have PTZ or log viewing, but it does beat out the default firefox interface. If I could only figure out how to increase the jpeg viewing size from 320x480, I'd be happy.

Just a tip... I don't like having to login each time to the webpage so I modified the html to auto login... Go to C:\GV-600\WebTemp and open the index.html in a text editor then replace the function Default() with this one function Default() { // detect browser ( not IE browser ) if( (navigator.userAgent).search(/MSIE/) < 0 ){ var obj = document.getElementById('ViewTypeOption'); obj.style.visibility = 'hidden'; obj.style.display = 'none'; } // cookie id = GetCookie('id'); pwd = GetCookie('pwd'); remember = GetCookie('remember'); if( remember == 1 ){ if( id != null ) document.form1.id.value= id; if( pwd != null) document.form1.pwd.value=pwd; document.form1.RememberID.checked = true; } document.form1.Login.value = LoadGetString("IDS_WEB_LOGIN"); if (document.form1.pwd.value!="" && document.form1.id.value!="" && document.form1.RememberID.checked == true) { document.form1.submit(); } } Now it should auto log in on page load, if you set check remember me. If you change your password down the road, simply clear your cookies..

Which codec do you recommend rory? And which geovision version worked best with your tools? I can downgrade assuming the iphone app works with older versions.

I know where to set the codec, thanks to Harrar Stop all monitoring, then A/V Setting, Video Attributes, Advanced. I have mine set as Geo MPEG 4 btw.. Also, I set the quality to Best, hit ok, went back in and it's back to normal. So I'm lost again...

Ok yea, I had it at large but I don't see any difference when viewing remotely. Still not sure what I am missing... maybe it's because I have a gv-600 card?

Hey Rory, Thanks for the LiveVue. I must be a total idiot or maybe it's just geovision's complicated settings, but I still can't find the setting in 8.3

Yea that works well... My only grip is remembering log in info. I don't like having to login each time from my home machine, thats why I like rory's solutions. Anyways thanks for the help

I used the uPNP option to open the ports... it made it really easy.

Wow dude... I never used IE so I didn't realize those options were there. I logged in with FF and saw a very limited screen and assumed IE was the same. Nice, thanks a bunch. I guess the reason why I asked to begin with, is because I was using Rory's Simple View. I like rory's software because it's a quicker login but it seems like the webcam quality is much lower there than elsewhere. When using LiveScanGeo and right click, I can't select 640x480 resolution because it's grayed out. Do you happen to know how to enable that resolution? I can use that resolution from IE. Thanks for eveything bro

Harrar, You've been really helpful with this issue, but I must be a total idiot. What software do you use to log into the DVR remotely? I've checked the geovision driver CD and I swear they have 30 software packages, with little instruction on what any of them do. I must have installed 4 of them already with no success. I was using 3rd party software for webcam live view before this. Thanks for all your help bro.

ok that worked for recordings, but webcam is still stuck at 320x240. Where do I set those?

nice thanks bro! I had to stop all monitoring to enter those settings. You're the best!

Hey Rory, Thanks a bunch, I don't necessarily need to write any software. You're LiveVue software seems perfect for what I want. Can you send me an activation key? Also, I know VB is sometimes frowned upon in the open source world because of MS, but I vote to upload the source code to google code. http://code.google.com then other devs can benefit and expand on your work, Thanks!

Hey all, I wanna thank you guys for helping me out earlier with my card selection. The GV 600 is awesome so far. I am a programmer and I am looking to extend my GV capabilities. The LiveVue software works great, but there's no way to register for it, website says page not found. If development is halted, why not remove the licensing or release the source code? Lastly, is there a GV API available? I am thinking about writing some software just for my use... maybe integrating into window media center. Thanks!

Bump?

That's great news. A couple more questions about geovision cards. Is there an API available for programmers like myself? I don't like to be bound to the stock options, I want to be able to use an alternative DVR capture software, if I find that the default app sucks. Is the cam output free to all windows software, for example can I record in windows movie maker, or is it using proprietary drivers that only a GV app can read from? Are there options to run a custom command line script on motion detected? If I record only on motion, does the DVR immediately save and release that avi after recording is done? I appreciate all the help guys, this is my second try at a DVR system and I want to get it right for once.

Hi Guys, I want to buy a new 4 port BNC capture card. I made the mistake of buying a qsee card and now I am tied to their crappy superDVR software. I am hoping for something that's cheap, compatible with most DVR software (not propitiatory - like qsee), and a Developers API couldn't hurt. Ohh and I hate cards/software that only offer viewing via IE. ActiveX sucks! I want to have as many options as possible. I've been reading for a while about this and I am leaning towards a geovision card. What do you guys think? This one is the cheapest: [edit by mod-pirate card link removed] your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Is this a clone too? http://www.apexcctv.com/p-311-geovision-gv-600-4-camera-card-30-fps.aspx

Damn those are expensive, lol.. well over $1000! What's so bad about a clone and how do I know if I am buying one? Seriously... I can't see myself paying more than $200. Am I being too cheap for what I want?

Geovision seems popular on here. Can you recommend one? A google search for Geovision returned that card above as the cheapest available. I didn't know it was a clone or whatever.

OK cool... what card would you recommend?
