I am using the VMS 16.10.3.0 software. Was all working. Now when I login, I see the cams like normal. Then when I choose the viewlog icon to review some cams the screens are not there. Just gray backgrounds. The bottom has the video recorded in the red bars. You can select any time frame you need. It's all there. Just the video isn't there. I can load up the system from gv-Eye off my android phone. Go into a cam and select past dates to view. They play fine on the phone. The video was recorded. I've messed up a setting somewhere I'm guessing. Help.

I know this is an IP cam, but I'm using the GeoVision software. I have this one IP cam link to my current 1480 card. It's a fisheye cam. All works good. Question is, upon playback, you can have it pick seven camera views. Can you rotate those images?

What camera are you using?

Also, upon playback, can you save just one of the broken out feeds of the fisheye?

But I don't see where to rotate the individual cam views in the web browser.

How about 8.3.3?

I see the newest version of the Geo cards is a "ComboA". I am looking at the 1120 or better cards. My question is, What is the difference? Should I worry about getting the latest version?

Thx. So that I am clear. Live view is...When you are watching the screen from the computer the card is in. Or the secondary output to an additional monitor.

I have tried unsuccessfully to get mine to work. I am using a parallel printer. If anyone is knowledgeable on the forum, maybe they could help out.

All I need is the composite video in. They have that as well as component, with all the audio. So for other uses it would work out good too.

I put in a 1480 and gonna use the DSP out for a monitor in the customer viewing area. What is everyone using here? Seems like the cheapest solution would be a TV set. Is there a cheap way to hook up an LCD monitor unit?

Seen a lot of refurbs for 209-219.

Using 8.12, when I use the Viewlog the video playback size is small. I can enlarge it with the Plus sign. How can I get it to stay enlarged for my next visit?

I am recording 640x480, how do I make the actual size bigger? I know you the man Rory, don't you have a fix for that.

What was the answer?

Really. Makes it a pain.

Didn't know where else to get help on this. Using 8.12 software, in the viewlog, when trying to save the avi file, open the destination directory, create a new folder, but you can't type or rename the folder or files. Could someone else see if the bug is on thier system too. I can use the default new folder name and go back later in my computer and change it. Wanted to get some confirmation before looking for a place to report the bug.

thx

Should we report the bug somewhere?

Win Xp pro 2gb Geo 1480 Asus mb Core 2 duo 6300 1tb storage NVidia video I used a P4 2.8ghz before with 1g ram. It was ok. I use this machine for light surfing and small spreadsheets and stuff sometimes as all other machines might be occupied. With the Core 2 and 2gb it runs the viewlog better and faster. 1tb on motion record with 12 cams(c-store) gets me 12-14 days video storage. Just using Mpeg4. 640x480 de-interlace. I chose cams that were 480-520tvl just to make sure I was getting good video. Research your Core 2's. Get one with the 4mb cache, just a much faster chip. I figured quality was my main concern, I had to have the best card. Once you are spending some money, a little more and you get the 1480. If you are like me, you are trying to catch the action of someone(employee or customer) doing something. More fps the better. And don't buy a 12 cam card, like Rory said get 16. You can always not use a port, versus needing that other input for something you thought of later.

Westinghouse has a 22" wide that has lots of inputs. Not really a TV, no tuner. Looks affordable. Don't really need 22 inches, or widescreen, but all I can find.

Found a Samsung Syncmaster 19" that has s-video and composite inputs. $160ish. Ah crap out of stock.

Then no motion is detected after the first event. Video clip is cut shorter than 5min. Next video event will be when motion is detected again.

Just trying to see what people in the industry are using. Dont really want to spend $500 for it.

Thanks for the recommendations. I found Avermedia makes an adapter to use an LCD monitor. I could get that and a LCD screen for around $200-300. CCTV monitors are around $500. Not sure I care about the quality there. Just using it so the customer gets a reminder he is on tape. Do you think it really matters.
