How do I go about changing the directory that is used when you take a snapshot image of the camera video? I have a script that automatically takes a snapshot, using Ctrl 1, for me when the doorbell rings and I need this image saved in a different directory so it can then text me the picture.

I am using the code from http://www.bahamassecurity.com/geo/GeoWebCam.zip to view my Geovision cameras via webpage on another computer. This has worked great but I just upgraded my computers to Windows 7 and now when I open up this webpage I see nothing. What am I doing wrong? I think I had to install the ActiveX Controls on the computer that is doing the viewing but I can not download those anymore. Can someone help?

I am using Elk Gold for my security system, Geovision version 8.53 for my cameras and CQC to put it all together. I would like to have the system capture a picture from the camera when motion or the doorbell is pressed and text that picture to me. As it is different systems that I need to put together I do not know how to do this. I looked at the jpgs Geovision creates and the filenames are not easy to work with: Example for 1 camera it puts it in the directory with the date as the name and the filenames are: 2013-1-10-Day-14-57-52-796(02).jpg 2013-1-10-Day-14-57-58-171(03).jpg 2013-1-10-Day-14-58-03-312(04).jpg So I don't know how I would know which file to grab to text to my phone. All I need is 1 jpg file created and it would be easiest if it was the same filename all the time. Does nobody know how to grab the current file, video or still, in Geovision so it can be e-mailed or sms to me? I know people are doing that and that other software programs will do this so someone must be doing it here. Would love to get this going. Thanks.

Okay so I need help in what I am trying to do. When the doorbell is pressed I want to text a picture to me of who is at the front door. Does Geovision create a jpg so I can grab that file, hopefully the same filename all the time, and do this? Thanks

No it is not clicked. I found if I clicked the enable the Run GeoHTTP Server that the option was no longer greyed out. Next question is where are the jpg files stored and when are they created?

Running Geovision 8.52 and trying to setup the JPG feature but when I go to WebCam Server/JPG the option "Create JPEG/GIF file(s)" is greyed out. The "FTP transfer JPEG file" option is fine. How to I fix this so I can have pictures created when I have motion? Another question is do I have to have a FTP server or can the pictures just be saved to the harddrive? Thanks

Rory, This has been working fine for me on my computers. Thanks for your help. Trying to get it working on my laptop now and I think I am missing some ActiveX, JavaScript or something and it has been awhile so I can't remember and don't see anything in this thread. So it gives me an error msg and I can't see any video. Error I am getting is: An error has occured in the script on this page. Line: 43 (this the code on line 43 - "camx.ChangeCamX(camera);") Char: 5, Error: Oject doesn't support this property or method., Code: 0 Need your help. On IE 8 now and Geovision 8.5. Thanks

I had that problem too and if I didn't have Geovision running then the computer would run fine but if it was running then the pc would lock-up every day or so and I would not get a display and the internet was jammed so no other computer could use it. Tried many different things, even a different card for Geovision to no avail. Then on the off chance I formated the HD and started from scratch and the computer has been running perfectly with the same software as before. So not sure what the problem was but ...

I tried these tips and that works. But . . . My webserver does not work when Geovision is running as a service so I can not see my cameras over the web which I do a lot. Actually I am using CQC and view my cameras via a webpage. Is there a way around this so my webserver is working properly too?

I had the same question and rory provide the answer for me. See post http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=12027&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0, posted on Thu Apr 03, 2008 2:33 pm for the answer from him and the code.

Are there any other options? The CQC software is running on the same computer and it seems silly to have an IO box for output for Geovision and then another IO box for input for CQC. Can Geovision trigger CQC via software, registry, write file to HD, etc???

I may not get the Elk security system right now but do want the Geovision integrated with my CQC server software. Can I use just the GVIO box or do I need one for output and then another for the CQC to read as an input? Want just 1 IO box to work with both if possible. Can I tie an output on the GVIO box to the input of the same box and then have CQC be able to read that input as the output of the Geovision?

Looking to use my Geovision GV-850 card and would like to have the Geovision software trigger CQC if an event happens, like motion on cameras. Looks like software doesn't work so I am planning on purchasing the GVIO USB box and was wondering if anyone has used this? Will it work for what I want it to do? Will it send an output to the IO Box and then CQC can see that trigger and respond to it? Any help would be appreciated.

I was hoping to avoid having to purchase more hardware. Is there no way I can do it via software as I have both the Elk and Geovision on the same computer? If not then what would you recommend I purchase for my IO card, don't need many ports as only a few cameras.

Anybody using Geovision and have it integrated with Elk? Looking to purchase a Elk M1 Gold security system with the ethernet connection. I have GV-850 card and would like to have the Geovision software trigger Elk if an event happens, like motion on cameras. Would love to know if there has been an success with this via software or do you have to purchase the IO card to get an output? Would love to do it via software and not have to purchase an addtional output card for the Geovision system.
