Download and run the newest software V8.7.4. That V8.5.6.0 is way too old. BTW, V4.45 card works with 64bit with no issues.

GV-Eye for IOS and Android now supports GV-DVR/NVR (V8.6 or later). Just installed on iphone and much improved over the old GV-iView.

I have 6 new leftover Bosch LTC 0498/21 box camera with Bosch LTC3364/40 2.8-11mm lens. Brand new still factory sealed for $219.99 ea set or best offer. Pm me for details. Jack

Hi looking for about 30 new clear or smoke domes for Pelco ICS090 dome camera. I think it's the same as the IS90 domes. Shipping is to 06604. Thanks, Jack

New in box Panasonic WV-CW484S dome camera- $299 free shipping anywhere in lower 48 states. PM me for details.

Does anyone see any issues running a Panasonic WV-NP502 Ip and analog simultaneously? I've heard certain Panasonic cameras doesn't allow/lose certain function on the test/analog output. I have a 6 camera system and want to just replace the front door camera for better facial recognition (feeding analog to Geovsion and IP to Milestone at the same time). Jack

Ok, thanks guys! Both outputs looked good while testing it in the office. I'm just a little worried about the analog output part (Panasonic calls it "Monitor for Adjustment Output Connector") and will leave it on all night to make sure. Jack

Yup, that would definately work. It's like using the WV-CW484F instead.

I run 8 cameras into a Bosch/Philips LTC2632/90 9 channel multiplexer with its output into a Geovision GV-800. The video from the multiplexer runs into a Pelco crt monitors. Bosch/Philips 9 ch multiplexer runs 1, 4, 7, or 9 ch in quad mode. It does not have a 6 ch quad mode option like the Geovision does. Bosch/Philips has a 6 ch quad that does 6 ch display but that's limited to a max of 6 ch. I sequence each cameras full screen for 2 seconds as it's much more viewable than the quad mode. Also keep in mind your picture is going to be stretched on your 32" lcd because of it's aspect ratio.

I think he meant the wv-cw484s (surface mount dome) or the wv-cw484f (flush mount dome). These are the same as the wv-cp484 (box) except in a dome configuration. One of the best WDR cameras. I have some new ones listed in the classified.

Finally got a good picture using the inner wire of the white rca wire with the inner wire of the power wire to make the 24vac power wire. Hopefully, it will stay that way. Thanks for all the help!

I'm in the process of replacing 8 working no-name 12vdc cmos domes with Tatungs (TFD-CVSH26AI24) 24vac domes (that he already purchased) in a previously installed system for a friend of mine as a favor. When I installed the new camera (with new 24vac transformer) using his original wiring (cheap 3 in one- yellow rca-white rca- red 2.1 pig), I get two large distorted lines in the video. I have no problems if I power the camera locally or plug the camera into my portable Ganz monitor. It's seems at 24vac, the cable is good for either video or power but not together. If only 12vdc works, can I use another camera (Ganz ZC-D3210NHA) running at 12vdc? Is there any way of using these existing cables in his drop ceilings (only 1ft of clearance) without running new cables running 24vac cameras? How about try using baluns on both ends? Any help would be appreciated.

ZC-D3210PHA is a PAL format camera. Stating the obvious, have you tried testing it with the detachable service monitor cable to a portable service monitor? Jack

Do I have to use NVT's baluns or could I use another company's balun for the other end of the run (built in NVT module in camera)? Also, could you use the service monitor cable as a permanent video output?

I didn't have time to continue on the install today but was so curious what you guys said about the wire that I decided to swing by and clip the 3 in one 1 wire in the center where they bunch up. To my surprise, there were only 4 wires (24 AWG each)- a red, a black, a yellow and a white running the whole length. WTF? Now it makes sense because last time I tried to double up on the wires (using whites both wire as one for a + and using yellows both wire for a -), the transformer green light would not even light up. I won't get a chance again till next Monday but I now know the baluns should work since I have 4 wires to work from.

Thanks for the great ideas guys. Since I'm doing this for free (spend as little time as possible) and my friend doesn't want to spend much money, I'm going to try in this order: 1. Use inner wire of the white rca wire with the inner wire of the yellow rca wire to make the 24vac power wire. These wires are like miniature versions of rg59 wires where there is braided wire covering an inner wire. Hopefully the AC alternates won't bleed over to the video signal since there is more insulation between the two. 2. Use good quality baluns (Videobaluns Unlimited BL3365) that I have sitting around using same wires as above. 3. Run new Siamese cable and tie it to the existing cable and pull it through as a last option. Short of cutting the 3 in 1 wire open in the center where all three wires merge to look at, is it possible these wires share a ground (perhaps the white and yellow wire)? They look similar to these except thinner http://www2.cop-usa.com/ebproductdetail.asp?id=291

Hi, I have used this camera before and it is an OK camera as long as you don't have a strong backlight issue. Don't let the spec 540 TV Lines fool you as there wasn't much difference to a 480 TV Line camera. Be very careful what lenses you choose as most auto iris lenses are too big for the front cover to fit (max dimensions of 51 (w)x43 (h)x44 (d) ). Jack

Thanks Rory, as I was going to purchase a security LCD (although much lighter and easier to install on wall). Since I'm using the American Dynamics ADQUAD87 (supposedly "Unmatched clarity with 1024 x 512 high resolution digital pixel images to display monitor and VCR ") in quad mode, will a hi-res monitor be much of a difference than a standard one (assuming staying with the same make)? Is "1024 x 512" the same as running the cameras straight to the monitor? Does all the quads on the market clip a little bit of video on all sides (compared to output on monitor on GV800)? Sorry for all the questions (I have tons more!) as I am a beginner

Ok, I'm confused. I'm currently running 4 Pano 474 box cameras into an American Dynamics ADQUAD87 which is hooked up to a cheap 20inch Tube TV (displaying in quad format) in the customer area. The output from the quad is then routed into a dedicated PC running a Geovision Gv800 card. The display from the TV is understandably better than the computer (17" monitor). How much of an improvement will i get if I went (replacing TV) with a consumer grade lcd Tv, security monitor or even a hi-res CCTV LCD running in the quad mode ? I know the security monitor and CCTV LCD has higher lines of resolution but is it that much better ? Oh, by the way I'm new to the forum so please be gentle Jack
