I have a vacation cabin up at 6500 ft on a ridgeline and am looking for a good camera to go on top of my 40' Antenna Tower (Awesome view). Desired features: -HD Quality (1280x720 or better) -Heated/Wiper (Snows regularly 2-4 months out of the year) -Conventional Pan-Tilt head/housing (Pole top mount, Would like to not lose view from under-slung mount..) -Ideally full IP control, but serial would be acceptable. I really just want to be able to inspect the property, cabin, and surrounding area remotely (3 Hrs from Home). Budget is $1000. Is that realistic? Any help would be appreciated. Have been looking at used Pelco Pan/Tilts and Outdoor heated enclosures to put an IP camera in, but thought I'd ask for insight! Thanks,

So my company has moved into a building with an exisiting RFID access system installed, but just not used. No keys for it, and its unplugged, but from looking it up it is a very advanced system. I believe it to use regular HID key cards. There are three doors with electric strikers and swipe stations. It even has a C-100 serial communication module hooked up. Any way I can get this thing programmed to new key cards? Thanks, Justin

Video card is NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT, updated to newest drivers. Gonna try playing with directdraw/directx settings...

I have a GV800/16 card, running 8.3.1. After the program has been running a day or two straight, the cameras stop showing up, and the screens are pink instead. the record is fine, and they still display ok on other screens thru Digital Matrix. Only way I found to fix it is to restart Multicam... Any ideas?

Well, at the advice i got in this thread, I tried swapping my intel 2.13gHz quad-core for a 2.4 gHz Core2Duo, and much to my surprise.... it works! Not sure why the quad-core didnt. I know someone running a gv-800 on an AMD quad just fine tho... so strange. I run my media center on the same PC, so I'll be picking up a 2.8ish core2duo to OC to around 3.4 which i feel should be sufficient. System has 4-gigs of ram, which I cant even fully use because of 32-bit

I have a pc built with a GV-800 16-ch card. I want to add a seperate 8-channel system independent of the 16-channel system. Can I do that on the same PC, or is it necessary to use a different machine?

Vista was merely a test platform for Windows 7. We could all run 98, as I think they have most of the bugs worked out. XP is about ten years old now, and while it may be a simple platform, it is less and less relative to current technology. Having said that, I am having an interesting issue with a new build using a 16-ch GV-800. Motherboard is ASUS P5Q-E w/ Intel P45 chipset & Intel Quad-core @ 2.33. Video Card is MSI n9500GT w/ nVidia GeForce Chipset. Running Windows 7. Everything installs fine, drivers are happy, running 8.3.1. Any video signal fed in is either solid black or black with 1 or 2 slowly rolling gray bars, like hum. Any ideas? The card was pulled from another operational system with Win 7 and GV 8.3.1

I am in the process of installing a 10 camera system at my house, using a geovision 16-channel card. My house is situated on the corner of a t-intersection, but the front of the house is set back 30-50 feet from the street, so the wide angle cams can't make out much detail on vehicles going by. I would like to find 1 or 2 dedicated cameras to position just to get closeups of cars going by. Is it best just to get a high quality camera with a good tight lens to focus on the street? I was curious if there was a suitable way to integrate a Megapixel caera, and set a motion zone in geovision that would trigger an output and tell the camera when to snap a photo... Any suggestions are welcome...
