They offer OEM services for big companies, such as customizing the front face of the DVRs. Its possible they also offer some customized firmware which would result in the DVR's software looking much different but generally still having the same overall features. I see too many differences with this one though.

When you say its not working correctly, what is it doing? I dont have much experience with the mobile apps though. When it comes to client software I can assist. What version of what software are you trying? Here is a link to my list of manufacturer software for those DVRs: http://bahamassecurity.com/downloads/dahua-downloads.asp Here is the 3rd party software I develop for them: http://bahamassecurity.com/cctv-software/dahua-software/ Digivision and Linovision also work with those DVRs.

1-where are you located? 2-DMMultiview is the remote network software 3-Can you login locally to the DVR computer? You may need to reinstall Geovision main system on the DVR computer.

what dvr is it?

No I do not think so, it has some similarities going by the user manual, but I am pretty sure it is not even a custom build.

You can add motion record to the schedule along side regular record. then you can search for motion events too. This does however take up some more space on your hard drive/s. as it has to stop regular record to create a new motion record file, then when motion is done it has to stop motion and create a new regular record file, etc.

whats the actual frame rates? Can you put a regular day night or BW camera up there to compare?

Question is why doesnt 32 bit OS (not hardware) support more than 3 or 4GB ram? Its all about money .. its like the 10 user TCPIP limit on XP .. MS wanted you to buy their server OS even though its basically the same. It simply shows the partnership between the Major OS developers and the Computer hardware manufacturers - can anyone say shares? Also there is alot of hype to having so much RAM to begin with, Ive never had more than 3GB and I do more on my computer than most users, and it rarely gets turned off (in fact I have a mac mini as we speak with XP on it). Unless one is doing some major Megapixel video editing then perhaps .. otherwise I edit video all the time and ram never gets close to being used up. Even then it could go to the hard drive or better yet SSD. If anything the processor plays more into it, but now they are pushing atoms for megapixel apps, like WTF???? Atom is just a glorified celeron, like "cloud" is glorified internet back up. It must pain those that spend so much on something like a Win7 8 core system with 24GB of RAM that an old cheap Windows 98 computer is 100 times faster, simply because of the OS. 1 step forward, 10 steps back. If it works on XP, then no need to worry. The XP OS only needs 40-100mb of Ram, stripped down Win7 easily takes up 700mb-1GB and thats without all the other apps.

Everything just works on XP .. I still shake my head at MS every time I have the displeasure of working on a Vista or Win 7 machine, and wonder WTF were they thinking .. when there is no XP hardware support left most of us windows programmers will make the move to linux ... its less headache trying to get an EXE running in Wine on Linux, and even Mac.

oh yeah, ofcourse I suggest IR when it is low light. I would leave it up the client if they have motion lights and want to depend only on them for light, or use IR incase they dont work. If you are using TDN Bullet cameras you have little choice anyway, most only come with IR.

Outdoor Motion lights (a) dont work great, (b) dont always work, © false alarm, (d) bulbs blow and replacement is not always a priority to the client

I dont know about your specific problem, but 64 bit Windows 7 sucks, and 32 bit isnt much better. Your only choice is probably to install 32 bit and then throw that 64 bit OS in the trash, light it on fire and then curse it to everlasting hell for eternity. Windows Vista was bad, but Windows 7 is ultimately the biggest load of rubbish MS ever came out with, yet (waits for win8 tablet OS to emerge)

LOL good joke. I dont know why I have to explain the FACTS I posted, but here goes. Link is in the description, they tell you go there instead. It shows on ALL computers. And incase you missed it, there is text in the video that tells you to click the link in the description: The link redirects to this: http://famousclip.com.powered-by.freedownloadsoft.net/generate/interstitial/158845/?pp=http%3A%2F%2Ffamousclip.com%2Ftv-clip%2F Which is ...

or just copy all the geo*.ini files from the windows folder into the windows folder in the new computer. you may also need to copy some PTZ files if you have settings there (not 100% sure about that). The geo*.ini files like the geomulti normally have the majority of the settings. The password though is located elsewhere.

BTW it should be able to take that throw .. i recall when my brother worked for an airline on the ground crew he said it was a normal thing for them to through boxes around .. even computer stuff ..

got it now thanks Fedex in our country is better than UPS or DHL (in my opinion, legal disclaimer LOL). Dont know about that guy though .. looks like he wasnt into waiting or going back

youtube video is non existent, so it sends you to another link which wants you to download some program. and the yahoo link just goes to yahoo.

Havent looked around for free software recently, used to be things like go1234 but I cant even find that on a google search right now. Generic drivers normally work like webcams ... Maybe check out these http://www.ispyconnect.com/download_ispyserver.aspx http://www.c-mor.com/video-surveillance/download-vm.php?q=start Im sure there are others but cant recall the names although if your drivers are for a specific card then you may need the software from that manufacturer.

See if they have an activeX control, if you can use the browser to view it then its likely they do. (although that could also be java). If its activeX then you can use that to create your own program as long as they have some public routines.

They can be a pain, have to run BTspy and all ... its kind of tedious. Glad you got it sorted though.

Not entirely free but one small yearly fee ... purchase a domain name through a domain name registrar, sign up for a free account at FreeDNS.afraid.org, add the afraid.org name servers to your domain name registrar account, then download one of the FreeDNS update programs at afraid.org. Now you can even assign sub domains and much more, host a website, even host your own email server

swan is as UN PRO as it gets

or get a multipair and run that in conduit. then you have extra wires for future use.

Also Im not saying you HAVE to use IR, but sometimes you need to. I normally try to stay away from it unless I have no other choice. But everything is different, there is no one way.
