I have a Geovision 1240 B card that has 16 BNC connectors. I have a dongle for 8 IP cameras. Currently i have 12 analog cams running and 3 IP cams, my confusion is when i add an IP cam it takes a camera port number.....so i lose a spot for another analog camera? or is it possible to actually run 16 analog and 8 IP? thanks.

Need something that can stream analog/ip cams.....currently only need a 4 way screen split. I have used LiveVueGeo in the past but can't get it to display the ip cams with any clarity. Anyone have any tools out there? don't need any bells or whistles just needs to stream live and not eat all my memory. Thanks.

It only supports IP cameras! No capture cards.

So im looking to upgrade one of my PC Dvr's recording drive and am curious which drive to use. After doing some research i found the the WD Red drive is very similar to the new Purple drive except for the purple drives custom firmware to help with "AllFrame" technology and video streaming, however it says that the firmware is only compatible with certain vendors and/or models to take advantage of the Purple firmware. On that note has anyone figured this out yet? anyone know if geovision can facilitate this new firmware on a PC base system? Thanks.

georsw.exe keeps crashing on me! Does anyone have any idea what this process is for?

let us know how 9 works....i know there are substantial updates to the quicktime plugin for non ie browsers in .8 that i can't have with .7 so hopefully .9 will be the happy fix.

I decided to upgrade to 8.5.8 and see if the problem fixed itself and it completely got worse.....long story short lots of research later i downgraded to 8.5.7 which turns out to be more stable and the GVAView works just fine.

Uninstalled 8.5.8 and went with 8.5.7. So far it seems to be stable.....still can't stream on android h.264 but i can live with that. Thanks for your help. -DesertDog

I appreciate your input, ill give it a try and post my results

I have been using 8.5.6 for a few months and the webcam server has just started to crash and act unstable, so i downloaded 8.5.8 from Geovision and uninstalled the main system from add/remove programs, then just ran the install i downloaded from geo. Install went fine but the webcam server tries to start over and over and over every 6 seconds.....but doesn't work. so i uninstall and reinstall main system with same results, after that i tried to do a more thorough uninstall so i tried deleting all the ini files associated with geo then the ocx files and so on just leaving the db files. then reinstalled 8.5.8 with the same results. out of frustration i uninstalled 8.5.8 through add/remove and am trying to get back to where i started with 8.5.6........after the install 8.5.6 loads just fine but the webcam server will not start at all! Can anyone help me figure this out? I don't know what else to do. I don't have antivirus, no firewall, the system was built with specs from another "best parts" thread on this forum. thanks.

What version of Geovision are you running

Can anyone shed a little light on this little gem i keep getting?

Can anyone tell me how to get the latest geovision software update so i can stay up to date? i bought my card from a dealer, should i go there? or is there an online resource somewhere? It shouldn't be this hard to stay up to date. Thanks.

This is a good suggestion though, everything is by default set to H.264, do you think i could save some bandwidth by changing?

Update: I think i have narrowed it down to a single activity that crashes the webcam server: using the GVAview app whenever i click connect it crashes.....but was completely working just a couple days before! Any ideas?
