Have you had any luck getting Ocular not to put the data on its website? I would prefer to keep the streams to my local network. Maybe I can give it another try?

I am trying to get this one working: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pas.webcam&hl=en I didnt like that Ocular put the data right online. It also crashed on me often. Anyone play with the IP Camera software with Geovision? Thanks, Rich

Wow - Linux for Geovision? I had not heard of it.

And for anyone else looking after me i did figure this out. The ONVIF format works well & does not drop. RTSP seems to drop periodically (not ideal). When using ONVIF device manager (google the free windows app) it gave my information for ONVIF which in my case was 8899. I popped it into Geovision & like magic it works!

I am having the same issue (similar) I am using a few cheapie IP POE motion sensor style cameras from Ebay. I am connecting using RTSP protocol as described below. The cameras periodically disconnect though they do seem to reconnect - it is not reliable though. The web interface never freezes & i am guessing its something with the GV NVR software. rtsp://192.168.1.226:554/user=admin&password=admin&channel=1&stream=0.sdp? This is what I am using & while it does connect with Geovision, it is not exactly stable. I would love a solution to this. I was thinking maybe it had to do with geovision not seeing motion & discoing the camera? Thanks, Rich

I am a little confused - can I use my 1480 card for VMS or is it digital only?

Thats pretty interesting. Does your phone stay on, or is the screen dark? Would you say its still stable?

Not a problem, let me know if I can be of any other help. Of course there is this thread: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=42919 That would take care of it too. I might switch over to the 1 system again in the future. Having two came in handy today though!

So, I bought this: 55-CTRLC-000 Geovision Control Center Software for Multiple Remote Geovision System Control - Qty:1 I had my original GV server with a 1480 card. I maxed out at 32. I then had a spare PC, I installed NVR on it, then I installed the control center software. I plugged my spare PC (with the control center software) into the TV & ran the Matrix program (part of the software) which has the standard GV view we love but goes up to many more cameras than I will need (64, or 128). Then it allows multiple matrix windows that will cycle so you could monitor more cameras than I could think of.

Hi, I did, i bought a geovision control center USB which allows for the matrix & basically i setup another PC with the Geovision NVR, then ran the matrix software which allows you to view multiple geovision setups in a single window. It works great but is a little bulky considering most of my cameras are IP based. Thanks, Rich

Hi, I have a 1480 card with the latest geo software. I also have 12 analog & 19 IP cameras. If I wanted to add another 5 cameras, what are my options? Thanks, Rich

Hi, I saved a few AVI's from Geovision over the years & they only seem to work on teh PC's that have the codec installed on it. Is there a way to use a more generic codec so it will work on any PC? Thanks, Rich

I have purchased tons of stuff from DWG. They are in long island & ususally I get things next day from them - though I am also in NY. I would stick with Geo myself

Hi, I have a 30 camera setup with 4tb of drive space. The breakdown is 10 analog cameras & 20 other various flavored geovision IP cameras. I was noticing a cube cam for a 30 second video used 350 megs of space. Within 6 hours I think its used about 600gb of storage & it has not been on all day. Is there a way for me to turn the quality down? I am a little concerned that at the rate I am using storage that I will have a 2 day DVR. Thanks, Rich

Thats a little scary since i bought 10 of the 2mp bullet cameras & a bunch of cube cameras. I thought they all had a 2 year warranty from Geovision - not the supplier?
