Hmmm, I meant all the set up programs are on my hard drive, so no CDs needed. PS. my software i wrote doesnt use the registry, whats the point, its easy to hack anyway ..

Not the same with CCTV, though sometimes you can find the manufacturer of a particular well known brand and luck out, however all the OEM cameras are going to be basically the same as each other, and not as good as a name brand. Basically you get what you pay for ..

never heard of Ultrax, are they the same exact camera specs? they seem to be different locations, and the mace images have lights turned on, the other one looks like no lights in that room, or just a bad camera.

You can never get rid of Internet Explorer [edit - thomas showed us how], Windows is Explorer.exe, since windows 98. Takes 2-4 hours with all the updates to load windows, all my software is on the second drive, as is any drivers. Once you do a fresh install, before you dirty it up, you can always create a restore CD.

Its like buying a Plasma TV from FORD Motor company .. They're OEM ... you can buy a no name and get the same product. BTW, thats not a bullet camera ...

You can open control panel, make sure the address location is showing, if not go to "View, toolbars, Address Bar", and also unlock it if it is locked to drag it to normal. I use both IE and FireFox, but only IE for testing activeX Video. If you have MSN messenger you will need to keep IE enabled though, thats why MSN messenger just sucks big time, along with all the other holes it has.

I have 2 partitions, everything is stored on the second partition, and i back up to CD or Online frequently, other crap I dont need I just delete. So all i have to do is reformat and reload software, all data stays there. I format at least every month.

well ive got Center2, Firefox, and Nortons systemworks running, 0-2% Not streaming video now though .. As for imaging the disk, your just copying all that stuff you want to get rid of when you reformat

firstly disable system restore service.

yeah all the Geo services were running. also skype doesnt affect it unless you are using it, talking etc. the others i guess maybe the UPS thing .. what about the other software you said you put on also

well i guess ill follow up on that, i used a short length of RG59 siamese i had lying around, and then the rest was telco 2 pair .. spliced together power and video .. hey all i could do to get the camera there temporarily

PS, that screen shot looks like chinese to me

jasper was getting 11% on a geo vision server ..after i tweaked it ofcourse .

also make sure its not the monitor settings, my old monitor is like that by default with all cards ..

but when it rains, it will get dirtier quicker, and then get the rain drop effect under IR illunination Actually what commonly causes that halo effect, is the IR glare on the glass. If you had a rubber ring around the camera lens, right to the glass, so no IR comes through, then wont get that halo effect either. Some have that but they dont work that well half the time.

i ran that with telco wire that night (earlier this year) just to test as I had no RG59 that night .. telco and the rigged RCA connection ..

Acti Video Encoders with Milestone .. good to go

i've never had to change the fuses with 330ma cameras on altronix power supplies.

Okay yea just noticed that .. cant you do it with 1 network card and 2 routers? Then just let the routers control the bandwith, both routers would have the same settings, except one will come from the cable modem. and the other will be the local network. Then use a hub or switch for the DVR..? Best wait for the network guys to jump in at this point . .

Hi and welcome .. what DVR are you using? Is it happening all the time? Also, can you take a snap shot of the image, so we can see what the pixels look like? Thanks Rory

so whats the issue? Seems like you know how to do it ..

just set up a different internal IP for each network card. In the 2 routers port forward to those IPs. You would need 2 static IPs or 2 DDNS names, 1 for each router, port forward in each router, router 1 to IP 1, router 2 to IP 2, both using the same Ports. That said, you will still have the same amount of traffic to the Geo System, it would be like having 2 connections is all. For the local traffic dont even need a static IP, i dont think, maybe someone else can clarrify all this ..

with the combo card, do you have to delete that DSP dll file in the Geo Folder, as you have to with the DSP card?
