I can see the medics scratching their heads when they're called to a fall victim "so what do you think this guy was doing with the TV in a t-shirt wrapped around his head at the top of that ladder anyways?"

I finally figured it out. You have to set it in different places: configure>A/V Setting/Video Source and click the drop down to select the resolution you want to record video at. then configure>General Settings>System Configure>Camera Record Setting (tab)>Recording Quality Click on green triangle to the right of Recording Quality and check what resolution you want to use. Hope someone finds this useful, it took me a while to get it.

Does anyone know how to change the image resolution on a BMP that you save from View Log? All my images are 320 x 240. I changed the video resolution to both 720 x 480 and 640 x 480 but my BMP images are still 320 x 240. I have a Geovision 650 and am running Multicam Surveillance System 8.3 on Windows XP.

Sounds like someone needs to write a geovision ip camera emulator with Geovision outputs on the front end and a generic camera connection on the other. Too bad its probably beyond my programming abilities.

I remember talking to someone (a dealer I believe) who told me that GEOVISION brand cameras are free but if you want to use another brand, you have to 'pay to play'. Is this still true? I am looking at adding a IP camera or 2 and don't really want to buy Geovision. Thanks for the help.

I ordered a VMB-24VF today. Thanks for the help.

A couple of follow up questions: Why is there such a big price difference between this camera on a couple of sites? A company I've done business with before and been happy with (worldeyecam) has it at $201 but there are several sites that list it for $137 or $148. What is your opinion of the SuperCircuits PC164CEX-2 with the 2-12mm Varifocal Iris Lens? [edit by mod, store link removed]

I am looking for a camera to install in my garage so it will be generally low light conditions. The problem with my current camera is when I open the garage door on a sunny day the bright light washes out the image. I am looking for a 'reasonably' priced camera where this effect is minimized. Thanks for your assistance.

I need to get a video system to monitor a parking lot. It is approximately 1/2 acre in size and has no buildings on site. Ideally, it would be a network/ip system with open standards that could be interfaced with a future larger (but currently non-existent) system with 8 cameras and a motion sensor/notification system. Is there an "out of the box" solution that could be placed outside (probably mounted on a telephone pole)? Any suggestions or advice on what direction to go would be appreciated.

Do you notice and performance improvement with the 8.3 version? Bug fixes? I somewhat of the "if it 'ain't broke don't fix it" mentality and and contemplating the upgrade. Thanks, Kevin

I finally found where this option is changed. Click on the Tool icon, select General Settings>Camera/Audio Install>Camera/Audio Install>Startup>Default Screen Division Hope someone finds this useful.

Nope. That didn't work.

I occasionally get a popup error message that says "A required resource was unavailable" after my Geovision Multicam (Version 8.2) has been running for a while. Anyone know what causes this or what I can do to fix it? Thanks, Kevin

Is there a way to change the default camera view? I am running Geovision Multicam Surveillance System version 8.2 When it starts up the default is the 8 camera view (1 big picture on top right and 7 small pictures along the right and bottom ) I would like it to be 4 equally sized pictures. I can change it to that view, but as soon as motion is detected, it switches to that camera, and then back to the default 8 camera view. Thanks!

So how would I install an AXIS brand IP camera?
