we have an old GV-1480B card we have used it for years but a couple cheap color cameras we have are freezing up and have a black bar running vertically. I tried to change to a new camera, but it was worse, Am I supposed to use only analog cameras? I think I bought a digital HD (may TVI) cam the store guy said its harder to get cams now I just need to know if I have to just use analog cams thanks

HI thanks no each of my cams has its own power supply but I am still confused I see lots of cams on line that say AHD analog is that ok? or is there just a straight 'analog' cam? thanks Dennis

well update: I just called my old ISP and they said that over the last few months, our max data use was 200 Gigs my new cap is 300, so I am ok and, I also heard that in Canada, the CRTC has ordered ISP's not to disrupt people's service if they go over thanks

Hi Help please We have used Geovision for a decade, no issues. but our Telus ISP connection sucks because of bad architecture in the business' building we were getting about 5 Mb/s download, 0.3 Mb/s upload now we are changing ISP's and as of tomorrow, will be getting 30 Mb/s download, but the important one is we are getting 5 Mb/s upload which we want for remote camera viewing we have 16 cams on motion detect and I 'think' we save away more than 300 Gb in a 25 days period on the HD before it recycles here is my question: Our ISP just told me that our new plan has a 300 Gb data cap I asked them if we exceed that, will we not be able to remotely view our cameras? they said no, we would just get an alert do you think this is going to be an issue? and does the upload data only count as uploaded data when we are remotely logged in and viewing? thanks Dennis

yes that makes sense, but I had another DVR using dipmap.com that was connecting fine , but they have more than one server I am sure so maybe that was still the issue thanks Dennis

Hi I have my DVR running, ver. 8.57 win 7 all of a sudden my DDNS has stopped working I cannot remotely view using DDNS but I can still connect using my IP address, which is a pain when it changes all the time my DDNS is running I have used the same domain name for years this happened today If I click on 'save' all I see in the box below is a 'page cannot open' error, or no connection or whatever instead, I should see: 'update successful' I thought I'd try setting up a new DDNS name but no matter how many times I click on 'register' close the window and click again all I get is that 'cannot open page' message instead of the register page any ideas? thanks Dennis

weird I got up this morning and it worked I sure would like to know what happened?

yes thanks I found my card is 32 bit "Only" so is not compatable with win 7 64 bit I am changing the card to a 64 bit card and reinstalling the software

Hi I have a GV-800 crad that is 32 bit Only.... I know this cause its very old stock but a new card. I had it running in a new pc, with XP installed as the OS this DVR system was a backup and it was in storage for almost 2 years but I tested it on line and all was fine. In my absence, a security company, deleted the XP, and installed windows 7 64 bit. The DVR is now running full time, but there is an issue every day it crashes. The main screen goes all funny with a mosaic of colors, the remote viewing stops, but it keeps recording. after we turn the pc off and cold reboot all is fine again for another 12 -36 hours till it happens all over again. I have included 3 errors I found in the 'admin errors' section of windows event log (see below) Is there a way to fix this? any ideas? I am guessing its crashing because you cannot run a 32 bit card on windows 7 64 bit, cause win 7 is 32 bit compatable, but not true 32 bit I have written geovision, but have not heard back yet I am just trying to get as much info as possible to figure out my next move. thanks Dennis here are the errors: --------------------------- Log Name: Application Source: Microsoft-Windows-WMI Date: 6/13/2015 12:26:59 PM Event ID: 10 Task Category: None Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: DVR Description: Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003.

Hi When you instal remote view log on a remote pc, and on a different netwrork than the DVR do you need to open the port on the router to make it connect? or does it just work? it uses port 5552 thanks Dennis

I sure see a lot of people reading these posts but I get no replies I guess my questions are either too easy or too hard, anyway.. Does anyone know how I can check a geovision DVR system that is currently running and integrated with POS if it's POS is printing in 'text mode' or 'graphics mode' Without using hyperterminal? I do not wish to use hyperterminal for fear that I will screw something up I need to know this so I can install the proper software (text sender pos text only or text sender pos graphics mode) on to another back DVR and pc) thanks dennis

Hi I have an existing GV800 DVR that works fine I have a new GV800 DVR on the bench, I took a camera out of the old system (it was working and so was the motion sensor) and hooked it up to my new dvr on the bench and it works great but, I could leave it alone for an hour and come back and it would be still on. I thought it should turn off until it detects motion. I thought I had the motion detector settings enabled (never did figure out what that little orange thumb means that does nothing after you click it) are there any motion detector settings I should be looking for that maybe I missed? I just realized that I did not set up a 'mask' maybe that is why it did not work, I do not have the camera right now but I may try that when I get the cam back. thanks Dennis

I need to know exactly what add on card and software I need. let me fill you in on what I have: I have an existing 'running' Geovision system in our bar, it works fine, but the pc is slowly dying. so in the meantime, I am building a New backup system. this is what I have in the NEW system so far: 1. I have a new fast 32 bit pc, and a brand new GV800(S) card in it. It works fantastic, thanks good card!!!!!!!!!! I tested the new computer at my home and it works fine and broadcasts. _____________ this is what I have in the current OLD system: a GV800(v3 or v2) card POS integration, where we can see in real time, text info from a POS terminal overlaid on a video cam screen. also, on the bottom right corner in the webcam viewer, under the round button we use for view log, if I click on "POS LIVE" I see a pop up in the right corner that shows in real time, all POS transactions that is what we like -behind the POS terminal, there is a data capture box it says on top of it: "Geovision GV data capture" on the back, it says digital capture 1.04 and "for home or office: 04014687 there is a cable from that box to a POS printer and a data cable form "RS232 " all the way to our fron office pc is and the geovision server. now in the old computer there is an extra add-on card. This is what I need for the new computer. this card is small. It is mounted in the pc under the GV800, but is is NOT directly plugged in to the motherboard. (so PCI or PCIE is not an issue , ha ha) the little card is not internally connected to anything inside the pc except for a power plug. but............... it IS connected externally, there is a small data cable plugged into it from the POS data capture box then there is another cable from the card to a connector on the pc that looks almost like a VGA 15 pin connector but after looking inside, I think its a SERIAL port so in total, there are 2 cables plugged into this little add on board. the board says on it: Geovision and "for home or office, 04015294) __________________ so that's it I need to know what card to buy and software that I can put in my new pc that integrates POS like on our old system I do not have a serial port on my pc, but I have lots of USB, I assume there are cards that use that instead?

thanks I have this all figured out now Dennis

Hi can someone tell me what software lets me see that pop up in the top right corner of my DVR screen that shows text readout of my POS transcations? Is it geovision POSiView? I get the pop up when I click on 'POS LIVE' under the round button in v.8.50 that gives me viewlog etc. thanls dennis

I have this figured out now thanks how do I delete my posts? or am I supposed to leave them?

thanks I feel better now Dennis

sorry but do you mean a liscencing dongle? my data capture box is hard wired to my net card on the dvr and there is a cable from the net card to a com port (USB) we have 2 DVR's so please, what do you mean by dongle? (there are many definitions) I hope you mean by dongle, the cable between the net card and a USB port, that comes supplied with the GV net 3.00 card I bought. _ update I just heard that I do not need a USB dongle I already have the data capture box, net card and cables? dennis thanks Dennis
