hi,
and thank you for your reply.
i paid $70 for this card.
so i guess its not alot for this type of card.
actually it wasnt from ebay itself, it was from a seller, who has a chinese website store
and they also used to sell cctv products at ebay 2 years ago.
now its a web store.
i really dont know if its fake, but i think for this price it must be fake.
but i really dont see or know the diffrence, the picture is clear, the fps looks good
and now i installed 8.57 system, and again, its working with my card
actually, any version of geovision 7.05 and above working with my card with no problems.
i have 8 camera's around my house, for security reasons,
i installed them 3 years ago, after some Thefts entered houses in my neighborhood.
i currenly having a PC based cctv, with 2 cards installed, very cheap card i bought off ebay
for $15 each at the time.
i installed them both, and used the btwincap in order to install a WDM driver
so i can operate them in any type of software like H264WEB (whice i really like)
and some others, like webcamxp ...
the problem all those years was that those cards are really cheap
and i cannot set the brightness and contract for each channel, only for all of them together
bcz the card has only 1 chip for 4 channels.
also, the total fps for the card is 25fps, but actually its more like 10fps total for 4 channels.
another thing that i like about H264webcam is the option to get an JPEG_url streaming
so i can watch it on my iphone, very quickly, using "IP CAM VIEWER PRO"
i really dont like how GV-iview app (geovision) works - its slow loading
and i need to press the Connect all the time inorder to connect to my cams.
also, the RTSP streaming in this app using the geovision rtsp server is really bad quality,
and if i want good quality, i need to set each channel kbps to something like 400kbps
and when i watch 4 together, the image fps is slow cause my DSL have an upstream of 800kbps total.
what i really wanted is to make that geovision work with WDM driver
but i could not find any driver to make it work.
i wish i could get every one of the 16 channels as a WDM capture device
and use it with my favorite software.
but i guess thats cannot be done
i know geovision is really advanced software, i played with it in the last few days
but still... i find it too complicated for my needs.
i was also thinking about a standalone DVR, whice i installed at my sister house, and its working great
but agian, the disadvantage is the inability to connect to it using a JPEG streaming url
or even a RTSP streaming , only with the supplier CMS software and the Iphone MyEye app.
but maybe, i will compromise after all, and i will buy a decent Standalone DVR.
if you have any more thoughts, please write and help me with choosing the right option for me.
Thank you.
