Is it possible to setup an automated backup process so I can view the files without having to reload db. I think I'm missing something but haven't been able to figure it out. Thanks

My location has trees and windy days which cause a lot of recording. I've tried reducing the sensitivity and would love to use object tracking or counting to trigger motion detect. Is this possible?

Got it working fine. Thanks for the help. gv sure does have a lot of components Vista gave me some issues retry tomorrow

Looks like webcam is the best place to start. If I ftp the geo server avi files to a client host will viewlog work with them? Or is there some app that does? Thanks for the help

I have version 8.1.2

Just got my GV-250 card works great. Now I need to use it remotely and am still trying to figure out the many components. Can someone tell me how to set up the following remote options? 1) casual remote viewing, ie start up software see whats going on currently and maybe see what's happened in last couple of hours. 2) detailed review, ie something has happened I want to xfer files, or have them already xfered and review the events in detail without the internet delay Thanks, Peter

I was getting ready to install a video system and we had a breakin and realized that the cables would be exposed in the area where the culprits were coming thru and need to be protected. Then, it occurred to me that if I could use the video loss alarm maybe they'd tell me they were there. Anyhow, what are my options for using the video loss detection. Is it possible to feed this to an alarm company, cell phone etc? Thanks Peter

Awesome, exactly what I'm looking for a file of each event. Not sure how you operate but everything I do is remote, so anything I can do to avoid waiting on stuff to load via internet helps. With this you could replicate the server using an ftp server, but this is better because it is by event vs by day. Uploading a 150mb in one shot is a bit tricky. Thanks for all the help.

How much would you expect to spend on a core 2 duo 2.4 with 2gb memory, and 320gb hard drive? Would you use XP over vista? Thanks PS what is the file structure like for the recorded video, ie can you play it directly. On my current system which uses KDT it has the files separated by day and I can upload the day and view it on my local software. The only disadvantage to this is a whole day has to be uploaded but it's not that big a deal.

Oops I meant computer system not DVR, are there any base computer systems you like adding these cards too? Also, Core Duo is a 1.8 ghz good? Plenty of them avail. Thanks for the help.

I'm looking at building a pc based dvr using geovision cards and had some questions 1) can I use multiple cards, ie start with 4 or 8 channel and buy additional 4 or 8 chan card 2) specs say P4 2.0 how does this translate for dual core systems and I love AMD systems will these work 3) I'm looking at using the GV-650-8, I don't need high fps, doing remote view over internet so high fps slows this down a bit on my current system would like to start with 8 chan and expand to 16ch if needed. 4) any base or prebuilt system recommendations would be greatly appreciated Thanks

We go by: "you might get what you pay for, never more" I owe you a beer next time I'm in Charleston. Thanks

Where can I find wireless motion detectors, and how do they work? Would you have a pointer to the ptz/wireless motion detector setup? If the price is right could help me in another location where the layout is more open. I could go with two cams for this particular set up its a rectangular storage units building with a building in the middle so I could put one cam on each corner.

I need to install 4 cameras where power is available but I've either got to cut asphalt, doable, run wire overhead or go wireless. I can get the xmiter(s) to within 60 ft of the office, right across the aisle. From the rcvr. Any suggestions on equipment. To use for xmit/recv for four channels? Thanks

I have a situation(don't we all lol). Where I'd like to install 4 cameras in a section where power is available but crossing the coax over to the main buildings presents a challenge. The good news is I can get close to the main building for transmitting. What are my best options with wireless since I'm using 4 ch's. Is getting a 4ch baluns and a wireless router a good idea, assuming I can convert it back for the dvr or can I buy a 4 ch xmitter receiver note: I don't what to be scanninng the cameras i want each camera on its own ch at the dvr. Thanks
