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.

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.

It only supports IP cameras! No capture cards.

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

My webcam server keeps crashing on and off multiple times per day...I am assuming its crashing becaus it just closes its self.....does anyone know where i can start trouble shooting this? I know there are multiple users viewing the webcams throughout the day every day but have never seen it crash like this.

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.

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.

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

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?

I was a little over $800 as well

Thanks for your suggestion, i just finished a different solution for Firefox / Chrome users using the MJpeg stream which seams to work pretty well. My next project is to try your ftp suggestion for IE users as RTSP is too much of a bandwidth hog for me. Thanks for your help.

I have a gv-cb120 ip cam and am looking to stream directly into webpage for all browsers to access....does anyone know the raw url to the stream? And better yet does anyone know how to password protect the geovision http-MJPEG stream?

Geovision 8.5.6 software I can login and view everything fine in IE but trying to see webcams using Chrome and Firefox just retrieves bad request error with quicktime plugin....now at first i think that quicktime is the culprit i launch firebug and do some investigating and sure enough there is 1 request that comes up empty! "GET Poster.MOV 0 bytes" url:http://192.168.0.172/LanMpegView0_QT.htm?IDKey=9174cb3c-7452-4e3d-929d-b2d0d3a554bb, which would be the streaming source for the quicktime plugin....why would the server not be streaming? anyone else having issues viewing in FF and Chrome? Update: I just tried it with a Macbook and safari and no dice! still won't play the h.264 stream even with a Mac!!! don't know what the hell is wrong.

I ended up reinstalling the main software again and had success connecting internally, i guess it was a bad install? never thought that was possible...anyhow now i have a whole other huge problem with remote viewing. I didn't really anticipate the bandwidth needed for remote viewing....i have customers that call every day and can't login and they also receive the "bad request" that i experienced all too well. I have crappy DSL in my business complex and unfortunately thats the best available at the moment so i have turned FPS down dramatically and resolution as well trying to save on bandwidth. trying to view from Firefox or Chrome is really hit or miss mostly miss and internet explorer crashes 30% of the time for clients....however mobile clients seem to be able to connect pretty much every time with a short buffer wait. Does anyone know another way to optimize the system for minimum bandwidth transmission on remote clients viewing? Thanks for all the help.

Any updates on this thread?? inquiring minds would love to know.

I use one of these bad boys... http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-B132-004-1-Extender-Transmitter/dp/B004MBBKAC/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1368556291&sr=8-6&keywords=vga+over+cat5+extender no ghosting but a little pricier.

I have a similar problem with a dlink nas and believe it to either be nas firmware. And never use green hard drives.

have the ip cam that comes with the gv-240B card and as soon as i change the default password from "admin" geo-system can't connect anymore.. anyone know where i need to make the change in geo?? Thanks. Nevermind: I found that if i delete the cam and reinstall it there will be a prompt for credentials.
