Does anyone use anti-virus on there geovision computers? I did not know if the overhead was worth it.

I was going to mount it indoors in a drop ceiling. I am going to a rig a plywood, ceiling tile mount. Do you know the camera zoom or resolution? I cannot find a user guide. Can a PTZ hook to the DB9 Serial connection on the motherboard or do you have to buy a extra card?

Check this out http://www.live-shot.com A PTZ to kill a real animal via the web.

I have a Fujinon YV5X2.7R4B-SA2L 2.7-13.5mm on a Ganz YCH-02A. The image does not have very brite color and almost looks B/W. Could this due to the Day Night mode of the lens? BTW Usinging GV-800-4 6.1 http://www.spytown.com/ych-02a.html http://www.spytown.com/fuyv2auirval.html

eganson, I do not know enough to tell you about the CCTV part. But I can help with the broadband. You said that cost was second so that is why I quoted fiber. If all you want is 1 Meg get a T1. If you need more get NxT1. Still more I go fiber, most cable companys offer it if you know who to talk with.

Not sure if this helps but the weakest link sounds like the internet speed between your two locations. I would get a PTP and then you can use standard equpment. I have 3 100 meg fiber PTP and 1 10 meg internet. Below are some Houston Texas priceing. 10 Mbps Ethernet Connectivity Monthly 1 Year Rate $3000.00 10 Mbps Ethernet Connectivity Monthly 3 Year Rate $2500.00 10 Mbps Ethernet Connectivity Monthly 5 Year Rate $2000.00 100 Mbps Ethernet Connectivity Monthly 1 Year Rate $5000.00 100 Mbps Ethernet Connectivity Monthly 3 Year Rate $4400.00 100 Mbps Ethernet Connectivity Monthly 5 Year Rate $3500.00 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity Monthly 1 year Rate $7000.00 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity Monthly 3 Year Rate $6000.00 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity Monthly 5 Year Rate $5000.00

I got premade 100 foot cable to make the install faster. http://www.spytown.com/premwat100fo.html What is bad is the adapter says 12v on the wire. But my power is 24V AC 40 AMP. I am taking it up with spytown, I hope they make good.

Go to start run and type just as below: %SystemRoot%\System32\RUNDLL32.EXE shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll you should get the popup you are looking for. you can also make a shortcut to this and place it on your desktop or quick launch.

Try installing the "Safe Removal utility" http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/contents/WURecommended/S_WUFeatured/1394/Default.asp

I did not mean that the cam was day/night. The lens is under there Day/Night product line. http://www.fujinoncctv.com/security/day_night.shtml I did not know if that would make a differnce.

Just got a 800-4 with the S1 chip and 6.1 software. Below is the price and system I made. http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=1059

Rentals Paid? Do you mean what it cost to lease public access such as a power pole? In Houston Texas there are company's that deal just with "roof rate" for placement of equipment on private buildings roofs. If you want to use the power poles you have to strike a deal with the city and the power company for a lease. The power company owns the poles and cable TV people lease there use. There are some easy ways to get a power pole on public property.

Can you run the TCP software over the internet?

I am done building and tweaking the system but I have a few questions. 1. On my GV800-4 I do not know where to plug in the two cables that the audio part has. I see one fits on the GV800 but I cannot find a home for the other smaller connector. 2. Is there anyway to test if the watchguard jumper cabel is setup correct? 3. Has anyone used the Antec SL400 powersupply, I am getting sub 900 RPM for the powersupply fan speed. All I need now is my cameras and I will post some pics.

Nice people http://www.ewatchinc.com/home.htm Check out the demo.

Does anyone have a Ganz CLH-401 Demo?http://store.yahoo.com/cctvproducts/clh401.html Also do you know of any major company's using them such as a casino?

bucklock, Who was the supplyer in Texas?

On the geovision demos I look at it seems that the fps is around 10 and the kbs is about the same. Does this mean that 1 frame is about 1 kb? Would that also mean that the quality I can expect from my 786 up DSL to be full motion on the web viewer? I am setting up a store with 4 cameras and the only viewer the owner will be using is the web client and I would like to demo something close to what he can expect for quality.

DVR_Expert_Australia, Can you PM me details?

Does anyone have experience with the Vitek VTC-C574? This seems like a great price for a color hi res. http://www.vitekcctv.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=114 For Sale: http://www.itcelectronics.com/pdtl.asp?P=5756

FredB Do you have a demo of the telpix.com cameras? If so please post it with detials on what camera is in the demo.

Rory, All 4 cams will be used indoors, under florescent lighting.

I have a friend that owns a pet store and he wants me to hookup a CCTV system so that he can watch the employees from his house and main office. Can someone please help me with what to use? I like the geovision card but how good is the i-mode viewer? What service do you need to get from your cell company? How good will the web viewer look over at 386 Kb/Up DSL connection on the server? The location is about 20x40 and he would like to use 2-3 cameras in the front and one in the back area that is 10x10. All color cameras. Both areas are will let with florescent lighting. The camera budget is around $150-200 per camera. I care more about video quality than the look so domes are not required. Can someone suggest what geovision to get that would match this camera quality and what server specs to install it in? I was looking at the GV-600-4. Also can I add another GV-600-4 further down the road to the same server? I also want the option to do the POS overlay. The register uses a DB9 RS232 connection. WE PLAN ON STARTING THE INSTALL WITHIN A WEEK AND WILL BE PURCHASING ONLINE. Thanks in advance for all your help.

Rory, How does the Pro Video compair with a Sony SSC-DC193 http://www.spytown.com/sonssccsecco.html I can find it with power and 2.8 - 12 mm Varifocal lens for $220
