just wondering where can i get a RS485 to rs232 converter for an avermedia pos box?

http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2009/05/google-dailymotion-endorse-html-5-and-standards-based-video.ars Being a programmer myself the upcoming HTML5 standard seems pretty sweet!

The thing with HTML5 compliance is you DON"T need any special plugins or activX controls.. there are video and media standards built into html5.. thus any browser that can render html5 will have these features.

I have just upgraded to 7.5 from what came on the CD.. I was trying to get the java pda viewer to work... But now my 1 IP camera comes in "jarbled" and distorted on the main PC this is running on. All the regular cams work just fine. But another issue i just noticed is that when i play back footage... ALL the cameras play back jarbled... Yet when i remote view with IE.. the IP camera looks fine.. any ideas? I'm going to go back to 7.3 for now.. that worked. Or should i try off a fresh XP install in case something somewhere didn't get upgraded?

Yeap.. put in a radeon 3400 hd card and it now works fine!! the ATI x600 I had in there was the issue.. Soooooooooo ALWAYS use a recommended video card !! Thanks VST!

I have a Radeon x600 in there now it's not on the "tested" list.. I have a newer one laying around i'll give it a shot. See what happens.. as the patch didn't work.

avermedia just sent me patch.. do you have an ATI card installed? if so send me a PM i'll email it to you if you want it.

have you tried a different pci slot? Also is there anything out of the ordinary in the event log?

double check and make sure it's plugged into the correct one... i actually plugged mine into the wrong one twice lol

What version of the avermedia software are you running?

I have the same issue... but only my single IP camera is all jarbled up and distorted on the preview AND playback... with 7.3 it was just fine.. and i've updated every driver possible, and ip camera firmware.. so i went back to 7.3

bump... anyone? or should i just use the $400+ AVE txt inserter?

Software should have come with the DVR card... what kind of DVR card is it? --

I was just wondering if i could use video balun's with power AND use a POS txt inserter like AVE? but if i do i will need 2 pairs right?

thanks... this is what i'm thinking now... DVR --> Regular Balun (no power) --> to AVE txt inserter (connected to POS) --> Now video Balun WITH power.. to camera.. and i'll power the upstairs cameras from where the POS computer is. Flow chart should be opposite of what i just listed.. now that i'm thinking about it. but it's late. Again they have all the cat5 already run and extra cables run to basement.. how does that sound?

Thanks. Basically this restaurant/ bar that i'm going to do soon will have an Avermedia DVR in the basement office.. 2 stories up is where the bar is located at.. and currently his bartenders are obviously taking money/drinks So my issue is that it's kind of a long distance.. and there already is ethernet cables run to that floor. So using avermedias POS solution is out as i don't think they want to run several serial cables down. So i was also thinking of using geovision as their POS txt inserter can work over lan.. so that eliminates even more wiring... but i've never use geovision cards. OR just use a regular txt inserter like AVE with video blauns with power... My issue is they don't want to run any rg59 as they have ethernet cables pulled already.. just trying to think it out ahead of time.

Got it working for my Blackberry Storm with the latest software... but the latest version is very unstable.. so back to what came on the CD.

Thanks for the help line!!!

I was just wondering if it's possible to get an i/o board to trip a bell/ phone type bell. Basically i have a client that on one camera if there is motion to ring a bell and have the dog go running out! Is this possible? if so can anyone point me in the right direction thanks

i just got an acti 4200 to run some test... i pop in the install CD on my Vista Laptop go to install the NVR Server Main Program... and fails install on SQL Server... just says install failed. Gotta love vista... this normal? or it doesn't work with vista?

what makes a good license plate camera? Strong IR? and good focused lense? Also if someone wanted to log the plates that came into the driveway is there software for that?

what?

Just call avermedia.. it's easier.

I was just wondering if you need a DVR card for and IP system? I was thinking about updating one of my clients but have never done an IP system before... if i was going to switch his 6 camera system over.. Would i need just a PC, IP Software, Router, IP cams? Or do i have to have a DVR card? with 8 camera system dual core intel with 2 gigs ram ok?

if you have more then one pos do you use a serial to USB converter? or serial pci cards in the pc? I think i might start a new thread with the POS question
