You hope

You can always buy those 2 port serial cards (PCI) very inexpensive but hard to find.

Its one of the reasons I am passing on IFsec this year dont think I could control myself in front of Geovision, might of sworn at the sales type of people.

Use Simplevue brought to youby this forums Founder http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=9767 Regards

Fixed my problem ...... Just used Rory's Simplevue, worked out the Box so to speak Thanks Rory Regards

I am getting Internet login problems. The Webcam installs and works fine over the lan but when trying to get to it via the internet I get to the MSelect page and no codec download just a done with errors on the page have tried the fix but to no avail. This is with IE7 and latest java installed. Any tips guys ?? Regards

Need more information about your system. Regards Keith

Ok one of the cctv systems I am installing a PC Based Netvision System the room is running at 28.5 C and it isnt even the height of summer yet over here in blighty am I right to refuse to warranty the System at that temperature. The humidity is at 38% so thats not a problem but I was thinking you can add 15 C to that figure for what the Proscessor will be running at ?? Just scares the hell out of me with the card being a hardware based capture card to so thats going to be toasty allong with everything else. I have added and extra intake Fan but with 3 hard drives 2 x 500gig sammys and one 80 gig sammy its going to be high temps all around. Pro is a 3 gig P4 single core. Grateful for your input. Best Regards Keith

Rory I have all the fans covered on the system 92mm exhaust and 80mm intake no room unfortunately for a side fan Going back in on Saturday to install some hdd fans the type you sit underneath. Regards Keith

The room is enclosed No Door, like a ante room / close ended passage off an office. Been talking to the customer I have advised him that if no extraction fan is in place within 2 weeks will only warranty the system for 3 months hes on his own then and hes started to take me seriously. Its an Intel P965 (Asus P5B-E) with Nvidia 6200 some Corsair ddr2. The thing that worrys me is the Capture card its hardware based ergo the reduced warranty I wouldnt mind theres hardly room for the system sat next door to a huge Dell poweredge. Its System Day today anyways and he has not given me an alternative place for the system to reside so the balls in his court now. Ah Well life would be boring without a few challenges along the way Hmmmmmm Beer Best Regards Keith

Ok IMHO the netvision/aventura/skyvision (hikvision) Cards give the best I am installing 2 x 8 cam systems over the next week in a warehouse/workshop and after showing the Customer examples from Geovision, Netvision even IP cameras they where wowed by the netvision quality, so thats what I ordered. Very Low overheads in the system allthough best to use Intel Pros as they are Hardware based compression cards. In fact they have a 8 channel 704 x 480 25fps per channel card out now. Mind you would need a few thousand gigs of hard disk space to keep up with it all http://www.netvisiondvr.com/yanshi.htm Nothing against Geovision in fact would use Geo over any other card if the customer needs POS (Till Overlay). Best Regards Keith

http://www.google.com Sorry couldnt help myself Regards

Hi Dave I have deployed 6 of these and very good they are at voice even over the sound off shop coolers switching on and off but they are of the 3 pin XLRM connector, Audio Technica brand. http://www.ezcctv.com/datasheets/PRO42-Microphone.pdf And I paired them with the M-Audio Audio Buddy which takes either jack or XLR inputs. http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/AudioBuddy-main.html You can buy XLR to jack convertors but wether they work on the phantom side (Power) I am unsure. http://www.djmmusic.com/itemdesc.asp?CartId={B0210B24-AB77-41B3-AEE3-0BE638DF6EVERESTB00}&ic=MIC15 Regards

EZCCTV without a doubt..... ezcctv.com Just give them a call and they will give you all the relevant info Regards

C7 I have installed POS on Geovision but not with Micro Pos it was actually Samsung Till POS and I did find that the receipt Port was Not giving out all of the inputs on the till and ended up using a spare port on the Samsung set up as Pole display with the right baud rate etc and everything that was input on the till including bar code swipe Did register on the Geovision overlay. One thing James did mention is getting hold of the POS Manual I cannot stress this enough if you are going in blind you will end up with zero or garbled output. Oh and get ready to spend a few hours getting acquainted with the till some of them need special keys to get into the setup for baud rates and the like. Bit of a steep learning curve at first. I did at first tell the customer we would try one and go from there but once I had set it up it became a relatively easy job on the rest. Good luck and if you require a overlay clip PM me and I will email you one. Regards Keith

I cant believe they dont provide an sdk ?? Rory Im pretty sure you can view avermedia thru firefox/mozila but not having actually tested the unit cant say for sure and if that is the case itll be more than likely java or some such for the web view, correct me if Im wrong Wendy please. Regards Keith

Via aye Geovision Swear they dont work eh but they DO P4 3 gig with Asrock KVM800 (Via Chipset) works a treat. with one Exception with HT On it Reboots willy nilly with it Off Rock Solid I Still Prefer No Interlace the Captures just look Smoother will do a comparison this weekend on file size and fluidity and have some clips via ftp before the weekends out for comparison. Regards Keith

My Mistake Should of clicked on Deinterlace is Worse Regards Keith

You might want to think about noise in the PC if the equipment is going to be close to a living area. If its in a cupboard or the like its not an issue. Regards Keith

Ok got a Geovision GV-A16 Audio, 16 Audio Inputs works with GV600,650,800, 900, and 1000 Superfluos to a customers Requirements so will trade for a Cam or will Sell, prefer trade. This a Genuine Geovision Card, Serial Number etc and Comes with all Leads. By the by in the UK but will ship abroad if needs must. Regards Keith

Are the 3/5/7000 systems hardware dvr cards or software as in some of the geovision cards ? Regards Keith

Just check on the Motherboard (Dig out the Manual) to see if there is a Serial or Com port header I had this issue with an asus board with only one com port on the IO panel at the back but did find that the board had a extra Com header, Usually near the last pci slot but u do need a serial patch cable which was in the motherboard box which does take up a pci slot, then you have to enable it in the Bios. As a consequence of this I always specify to my computer dealer for mboard's with 2 Com port's just in case. Regards Keith

I have had experience with Aventura since September last year (2005) as per the original poster. Yes when I first got the very first card a 8 cam Full D1 it was very flaky driver wise reboots odd problems etc but at the time did go with the Commercial version and not the Professional version. At the time I did recieve both the Professional and Commercial version and by far the Commercial version was very much less buggy than the Professional. Now heres the But, the drivers have matured very well and I can say that the Original machine and now 2 extra machines with 4 cam D1 cards record 7 days a week without hitches this is with NO reboots motion detection 24 hrs a day. With these cards doing all the horse work besides writes to hard disk are up and coming stars the qualty of the captures even at medium compression is very good the only caveats being you have to use the player from aventura and use a ftp server so the remote user can download the recorded files but those are the only minor annoyance's I have with the 3 systems. Put it this way the customer is well chuffed (Happy) even after all the heartache and lost hours mine and the customers in the first place last September with the reboots etc. I also work with Geovision but for the same price Point I would now on a high end CCTV system point them towards Aventura in fact it is now my Premium system. Hope this sheds light on a growing and emerging technology. Regards Keith ** I have no connection to Aventura besides purchasing there Wares.
