Okay I got 2x 120GB Hard Drives, I am partitioning the first 10GB for windows, and the rest for Video, then the 2nd drive just 1 partition. Question is ... how do I make the DVR Server see the 2nd and 3rd Partitions as 1 partition/drive? Do you use like Partition magic or something else... anything free and quick ..? By the way its Windows XP. thanks Rory

true .. by the way just hooked up a 3 input Channel Vision RF mod, not bad. Have 2 muxes and 1 DVR on it .. the DVR is better quality than the 2 more expensive muxes .. strange ... on the Plasmas I mean, maybe cause its an all in one DVR, a budget one too, but maybe cause its digital and the muxes are analogue?? The Muxes is a Kalatel Simplex 16 Channel, and a Provideo 9 Channel Duplex, they are both around 5 years old. The 4 channel DVR is new a month now.

. btt plz dont reply to this post or ill have to restart this thread .. tanks. PM me if you have any issues.

also ... all cameras and system devices should be programmed, setup, and tested at the installers office prior to delivery and installation at the clients premises.

is this recent, or 10 years ago?? 240tvl?? he he he he ..

you may still be able to do so with linux embedded DVRs, once they record in a familiar format like AVI, ill check out the AvTech tonight and let you know. I know cant be done with GE DVRs as the hard drives are unformatted, but Linux DVRs generally let you format the drives so once it is a format that Windows can recognise should be okay? Ill ask them also.

K7VT4A PRO. Socket A(462) for AMD processor VIA KT400A chipset; For FSB333MHz AMD Athlon XP/Sempronâ„¢ processor Think this may be your problem, very few cards will work okay with Via, but most dont. Generally you need an Intel or SIS chipset.

Is it an Intel or SIS chipset?

what operating system are you running, does it say which OS it is designed for? Crashing is a software/OS issue normally, though could also be hardware related on the PC. Whats the specs on the PC also? This can change from one card to the next. Rory

I have used 1, dont know which it was was not paying that much attention to it as it really didnt work that great. I mean its okay, and a neat idea, especially if you can velcro it on your laptop Basically it is DIY quality gear. The one I used, software was very very basic. It is better to use a PCI card if you have a desktop. I can see where it can be worthwhile if using a laptop, thats about it. Rory

The hardware is inexpensive and can be mass produced. It is the software that takes the time and money, and supporting the cards and software.

either way, and run all wires then connect cameras. Generally i have someone else run the wire as anyone can do that, then I come along and do the camera install.

hi levon email is on the way, approx 7MB. Rory

Yep, normally my quotes are 10 pages plus full floor plans, etc. All specs etc on the parts are included also. Just got a local airport here, and another 32 channel job somewhere else .. Actually use to put brands on it, but the clients dont know what none of them are anyway.

just buy a second $300 DVR. If u really need to know about that DVR, ill ask AvTech for you. You are forgetting one thing though, there is no operating system on the hard drive, just video files recorded in their format.

It depends on the DVR. The Embedded Stand alone units, have the software on chip on the dvr, and generally the video clips are not saved as AVI files on the hard drive. But it depends on the DVR. For example, you cant do it with the GE DVRs.

Yes i have used Wide Dynamic Cameras, but they are not low light like an Exview, and nowhere near a BW quality in low light. But if the bar has lighting like a retail store then it will be fine. In any event, im going to recommend what Im using in the nightcub bar environment now, and these are reasonably priced, BW only, or color at entrances and areas with enough light, and these are for inside the location, not the car park area. Otherwise you can use what levon recommended above, i sell the ganz and pano also, just not vandal resistant, unless for the pano domes. Once again im not trying to sell anything here and im not a "rep"... also extreme CCTV (not wizKId) has a line of wide dynamic cameras, basically all their dome cameras come in those versions also, known as the CX camera, and also MX for Day Night (Not WD). If you need a WD Day Night then Pano all the way. http://www.wizkidoptotech.com/products/index.cfm?img=2 http://www.wizkidoptotech.com/products/index.cfm?img=3 http://www.wizkidoptotech.com/products/index.cfm?img=12 http://www.wizkidoptotech.com/products/index.cfm?img=17 http://www.wizkidoptotech.com/products/index.cfm?img=27 http://www.extremecctv.com/news/PDF/ACF1C3.pdf http://www.extremecctv.com/products/index.cfm?img=66 http://www.wizkidoptotech.com/products/index.cfm?img=9

i Dont put names on my quotes, or in my catalog, but if we got that route, sony has the best name in cameras. As for prices im going by US dealer pricing so nothing is misleading.

i agree CMOS is crap, generally sold as an OEM camera, and 380TVL is sold by all manufacturers, though personally i use high res only 480TVL and above, except for certain hidden cameras. Cosmetics is everything though when dealing with clients who are paying for it. Lets put it this way, been there done that, now i sell Extreme cameras. Exview, decent chip, though useless if not in the right camera.

"5 year unbreakable guarantee" Its on the specs for the cameras also, some of them, such as the WizKids. Can i drive over the flexidome with my jeep 10 times, and use a sledgehammer and mallot on it, without damage (short of replacing the dome cover which i have a box of), and can i spike it with a brownout day after day and still works, can it survive a couple hurricanes in a row, then lastly, add some daily beach salt air while we are at it, not to mention mon-sun 24/7 tech support?

anyway, back to the Geo Software and remember, im not trying to sell anything, im just here to help.

been there done that ..

Well having the client has tested almost every low light color camera on the market, and if an exview wont see low enough light, then no wide dynamic unless it is day night, will. The client I deal with wants crisp quality, and NO color camera can give that in low light. If you want the best quality, then you need a BW. If you can afford it, then buy a Day Night with level adjustments,. which switches to BW in low light and according to the level of light you set it to, any of the big brands. Bosch, Ganz, GE, Pano, Sanyo (actually installing a couple Sanyo Day Nighter Domes there this week, client had them at his home but moved now wants them at the club) On the subject, i have a 420 TVL BW cheap Provideo Bullet in a club on the dance floor with EI and it responds great with the changing light and sees everything, and its been there 5 years now. But personally id never put a box cam in a bar or nightclub environment as anyone can knock it and throw the lens outa whack, and short of that would require alot of lens cleaning. And if you're going to install a housing then may as well install a vandal resistant dome, with wide dynamic if you like. Sorry ive never come across a mood or wine bar in my travels
