There is no problem right now, but I thought it could be. A screensaver is no good, since the display is for customers (so they can see that we have surveillance) That's also why I would like to toogle through all active cameras.

Hi I just made a setup with a GV-800 16ch card, but have some problems with monitoring. Right now, we only have 4 cameras, and I in the future want to toogle between 4x4 sets of cameras (always use 4 camera view) When the cameras makes an recording, it pop-ups the view from the recording camera. When there is no motion, it goes to the 16 camera view. I would like to always toogle between 4 cameras, without changing to 1 camera view. Is that possible? If not, can I set it up, to go back to 4 camera view, and not 16 camera view? Thanks.

Thanks, that worked! Can I disable the popups? So it always stay on 4 camera view.

The software is V8.2

Hi I just bought som cheap cards on ebay, and found out that the supplied software was piracy (im in contact with ebay about this) Well, it's the famous Pico2000 card, and I diden't knew any thing about this, before I did some research. I have tried the newest Pico2000 software demo, and well, it's ok, but if there was something better I would not let that pass! The Dico 800 software only supports 4 cameras, and im in need of 16 cameras. I need these features: Motion Detection, with setup for each camera (It a petstore, with live animals, some cameras should not record motion in some areas.) Remote View (on this Pico2000 sucks major!) Event listing Easy browsing through events Support for 16 cameras Maybe SMS or email notification, but only if I can choose out wich cameras should make these. (we have some outdoor cameras, and if a bird or a cat runs through, I don't want an sms at 3 in the night In our store, there is CAT5 cable several places, that all ends up right where the PC should be placed, therefor I can easy make a cabled solution. My budget for cards and software, is about $200 - if that isen't posible, I will buy the Pico2000 software. If anyone know where I can get 12-16 used or new color cameras with good picture cheap, let me know! I found some on ebay, but the seller will not send outside the states. Thanks!

You have only written what I CAN'T do - where is the help in that? I can read your other posts on this forum, you act like this in all other threads! Your are the most incompetent OLD STINKY MAN I have ever meet!

well done. but your pc spec you have will not run either of them cards. oh and by the way you dont have to say thank you for all the info i sent you. but anyway good luck with your cards You still dident send me any usefull info - so why thank you? I have other systems I can run it on, no problems there.

I just got a GeoVision GV800 with 16 inputs, and a GV600 with 16 inputs on ebay for $143 total. I knew I could get something desent for under $200

Thank you very much! I have found the card to $179 What software do you use with it? I also found some cheap 16 channels GeoVision (used) I will look into them also.

You still haven't given me advice on my first question! And you haven't been nice at all! Read your own posts again! I will take advice, when someone starts to give me some I can use!

First of all, you shoot down all everything I write. Just because you don't like the idea of my needs, dosen't say that it can be done! I don't need more that 48 hour, period! If there is missing cash, we can see it on our register, and see excact what clerk did it. We can see that for every day - and at the end of the day, I can check the video to see where the money went. I can not use footage older than 48 to anything else than filling up my HD. If there is an alarm in the night, well I will not wait over 48 hours to see that! Listen to MY needs instead of YOUR needs!

I dont know with you, but we dont close down our store to go on holiday! I don't like your attitude - if your attitude is the general on this forum, I will delete my profile instantly!

When there is a lot of cards and usefull software out there, why should I buy a complete system? I have several HD laying, and can supply up to 5000gb if needed. The system should not save more than 48 hours, and only record on motion - I see no need of way bigger HD.

They are working fine with Pico2000 yes. But since Pico2000 isen't very good overall, Im looking for another card with another software. I have no problems with the FPS supplyed with these cards and Pico2000 - but again, if I could find some better software than Pico2000, that would be best. I have a P4 3.0ghz, 2gb mem system with a 250gb extra storage. If I go for a higher FPS, I will also need a higher upload on my internet connection - again this is near perfect with Pico2000. We now have a 7 years old DVR system with 4 B/W cams, It was bought to a smaller store, but we expanded. The price for 7 years ago was over $5500 - I wasen't in the company at that time. This system has fever features than Pico2000 has. I have seen a running system with 4 Color cams, that was build for under $500 - This system was way better than our $5500 setup. It's some years ago, and I dont remember the software name.

The cards works fine with the original Pico2000 software. There is nothing wrong with the cards! I suppose you drive a car? Well your car is also a clone of another car then. I think it's best that you give up, you can't supply me with information, why a $200 16 channel card should be crap. I don't care about high fps. The job is to record surveillance, not movies. Give me some usefull information, or don't write at all!

you will not just have clone software but the cards will be as well (think about it) no point building a 12/16 dvr with a budget $200. there is no point why anyone would want to build a crap cctv system. The Software is piracy yes, but the card are not. The total budget is not $200 - that was for new cards with software. But thanks for your fulfilling answer!
