you're right.sorry about that...its an eyeonet card , 4-30 and I am adding another and using eyeonet software

I have a 4ch card installed and working . If I add a second card, will I have to re-install the software? The card is identical to the first

thanks for the replies...I think he knows they are fake. I emailed him and told him so. His reply was in very bad english and basically said he did not know what I mean. Geovision confirmed it to be fake. Soooo...I decided to go a different route. Proving it was a fake was going to be tough..instead, I just opened a claim saying that the item received was different than the one in the listing. Hopefully, I just pay return shipping and then get my money back. It bothers me that this guy will continue to do this to other people.

I am new to this forum and very impressed by the knowledge base. I have several cameras installed on my stand alone system. Recently, I bought 2 cameras(ebay) under $100 each and both are exhibiting horizontal lines of interference. I tried new power supplies and switching cables with my other working cameras. I am still getting interference on these 2 cameras. I am using a Geovision gv-800 ...has anyone else had any problems like this?thanks

lol..I know now but how many is this guy conning? Ebay is a mess, in order to get my money back, I have to get an authorized dealer to say its a fake in writing. I'll have to make a few calls I guess

here are a few pictures...pretty blatant to sell this as a true geovision

Is there someone on this forum that could look at the pictures I took and verify that this is a fake? I would need this in order to get my money back?

yes, I am 99% sure this is a fake....I didn't get an original box and now that I look closely, the software is a burned copy

The old cameras are called ipointer and work fine...the new ones don't even have a name...the box says model sg-5920 by sgb. I have tried pretty much everything as far as swapping cables, etc. No matter what I do, when I connect any of these new cameras to the card using any cables that were connected to the old cameras, I get these lines. The old cameras are crystal clear. I am a computer technician by trade but new to cctv. This is an upgrade for a friend of mine. I put in what was suppose to be a geovision 800 16ch card a week ago and all seemed good until I install these new cameras.Now ,the more I learn, the more I am thinking this card is fake...I have spent many hours researching this card and it does not look like a true geovision...should it not say "geovision" on the card ? I know I am going off track here, but I wouldn't have even suspected a fake card if it were not for the problem with these cameras. Lol, this is not going to be a profitable job.I told the guy he was getting a geovision card and some new cameras for x amount of dollars. I should have known better than going with ebay

thanks for all the help I'm getting. The cameras all have separate power supplies...I have changed power supplies with same results. When I disconnect all the other cameras and plug in the new ones one at a time, I get horizontal rolling lines on both.For some reason, these cameras are picking up some kind of interference, but only when plugged into the card. I have all the cameras sitting in front of me to test so it cannot be a cable problem...I am using 1 cable to test all

I connected the camera directly into tv input using an rca adapter and I see no flicker , great picture....what is up with this?

yeah you're right....I have bought low end cameras from a dealer and had no problems...I guess I'll return these one's. I thought maybe there was something I was doing wrong...thanks alot for the reply
