I'd always used a cheap $40 card for dvr's for friends and family, worked
pretty decent. Did some reading here and figured Geovision was the way to go. I'm sure so many people must be right but i still haven't been able to justify my over $700 price tag. The wife is not smiling. Video over the internet looks better on my cheap card.
Here's my setup:
MB: Asus P5GC-MXgc-mx
CPU: E5400 2.70 Ghz dual core
Chipset: 945GC / ICH7
Memory: Corsair 2GB
250Gb H/D (Partitioned to about a 30gb C: )
Video Card: bought a ATI Sapphire HD 3650 512MB
previously had a ATI RX1550 128MB. tried both.
Power Supply: came with cheap case 500w i think.
GeoVision Card: GV-1240
GeoVision Software Version: 8.2
Screen Resolution: 1024x768
Video Size: 720x480
Motion/Continuous: Motion
Codec: Geo Mpeg4 ASP
FPS: GREYED OUT FOR SOME REASON
So is the "Enable Directdraw Overlay" option.
Every few seconds there is a glitch when playing back recorded
footage. Another little oddity. I could swear that when i first installed
the geovision software there was a tab on the system configure
menu that said TCP/IP and a port setting 3550 i think.
Haven't seen it since i reinstalled, odd.
I found some recommended settings in a post here but unfortunately
none of those sliders (quantizer, keyframe interval etc.) are active in my advanced codec setting menu.
Also what is recommended program for internet viewing.
Using the IE browser and watching only 2 cameras seems
to provide the smoothest pic. 4-9 FPS per cam.
The DMMultiView is just okay.
I'm gon need some help or a refund before i start sleeping on the couch.
Haxxx.
