Sorry guys, I just have to get them uploaded from the pc. Will post the pictures thought buy tomorrow.

Yes you do. vacaaaattttiiiiiooonnnn..... aaaaahhhhh.....

Well I installed the Pano-484 outside and it definitely made a huge difference and I also replaced all the lenses with Fujinon Varifocal Day night aspherical lenses, the last two changes were the ATI Radeon 1800GTO PCI-x card and a geovision GV1480-16 card. These changes really made the difference and I also purchased a 4.5 Inch Marshall Portable LCD panel to fine tune the focus on the camera's. I will post the new pictures. I cant' say enough about the panasonic's though. It was on the west parking lot shooting into the daylight and the difference was night and day. Nothing was whited or faded out. The picture at night even with a strong light behind the camera did not phase these camera's. It even shows the colors better than these other cheap camera's purchased a CCTVspecialty.com. I learned my lesson and you can't skimp on quality when it comes to PC based DVR systems. Now I am ordering 3 more Pano-484's and putting them out side also. Like I said can't stress that the Nvidia card I used in this system prior was a geforce3 6800 ultra 256mb card 500mhz core clock and ddr memory and the ATI 1800GTO card blew it away in video reproduction and quality. I will be posting pictures tomorrow.

I have a open Box GV-600-16 card for sale with all accessories manuals, boxes serial numbers and software. Purchased card for a client DVR but was not good enough for what they needed. Must sell. $400 or best offer.

Rory, I will install the VNC and PM you the IP address and password. I did switch the theme back to the old style just didn't put it back yet. I have the Direct draw enabled, I will have to check on the overlay. Rory camera number 1 is one of those new Pano 484's and it looks terrible. so I really got something going on here.

These pictures are are not as good as the originals. I had a limitation of 256k on this forum for attachment uploads per attachment. They are the latest drivers from nvidia's website. So not a driver issue but will be trying a radeon card this week as a comparison, apples to apples type deal.

Hello to everyone. This is a great site and alot of useful info. I just built a Geovison DVR system for a client and there have been a few issues. First off I will spec out what I have built so far and go from there. 1) Intel D945GTPL 800FSB Mother board 2) Intel P4 3.0GHZ 630 Prescott LGA 775 800FSB EMT64 3) Crucial Technology Ballistix 512MB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 4) Seagate Barracuda's 7200.9 ST3250824AS 250GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive 5)Pioneer Black 16X DVD+R 2M Cache ATAPI 16X DVD±R DVD Burner With 5X DVD-RAM Read 6)Leadtek WinFast PX6800 TDH Geforce 6800 256MB DDR PCI Express x16 7)Acer AL1916Ab Black 19" 8ms LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 700:1 0.294mm Pixel Pitch Antec PERFORMANCE TX640B Black Steel ATX Mini Tower Computer Case 400W Power Supply 9) APC BE-785R ups Geovision GV-600-16 d-sub card version 8.0 software 24VAC power distribution box 16 port output Camera's purchased from CCTV specialty [edit: link removed by mod] 7u of the Color Day/Night Security Camera - Sony 1/3" Ex-view CCD 500 TVL - .01 Lux, Auto Iris Varifocal 3.5-8mm Lens and Power Supply Included (SPE-45SH35) 1 of the Panasonic WV-CP484 camera and the matching 1/3" varifocal lense 3.8-8mm Just purchased a upgrade to a Geovison GV-1480-16 card because of framerate and picture quality issues. I don't have this card installed yet. Now for the advise. 1) The picture on all of the camera's is pixelized and very bloomy in color. I purchased the Panasonic 484 to see if it was a camera issue and I really believe it is now video card and wiring issue. I think the RG59 siamesed cable they sold me was junk. Also I used twist on BNC connectors and they really don't look to be a good idea. I had the notorious bent Z on some of the Copper conductor. I use nothing but crimp on stuff for LMR-tpe cable and these Twist ons are questionable also I don't think they were true 75ohm connectors. I am running this at 1280x1024 on the LCD panel. Siamese type configuration with separation web RG-59 Type Coax plus One Pair 18 AWG stranded (Coax) solid bare copper conductor 20 AWG Gas injected polyethylene coaxial core Nom. OD .142 inch (3.61 mm) with an aluminum polyester tape barrier. Bare copper braid shield 95% coverage Unshielded 18 AWG twisted pair employing PVC insulation Nom. O.D. .007 inch (.178 mm). 2) Are there any other settings in the Geovision setup that will allow for better picture setup and clarity. I have tried everything. Direct draw, interlaced and non interlaced, low and high resolution adjusting the camera settings manually, contrast, hue, brightness. No luck. 3) The new GV-1480-16 card has a DSP output to a CRT monitor and since I have never used a DSP output before, what is the picture going to look like when that is installed I am hoping for a fluid and more realistic image that can be viewed on the CRT. 4) How much of a difference do the lenses make. I have just the el cheap-o Varifocals that came with the cctcspecialty camera's. Do the fujinon lenses make that big of a diffence on a 1/3" cctv camera. I just want to get the client happy and be better educated when I do my next system for another client. Any suggestions will be appeciated. I just did screen shots but the pictures here look worse than what the actually are but not by much.
