Vpype is a Facebook program that allows you to stream live video on Facebook by utilizing your web cam. Is there a way to somehow capture live video from one of my GV cams and feed it to the Vpype program as if it was a webcam?

I sent them an email and this was their reply: Dear Sir, The CP-1404HS is our old model and stop production more than 3 years. So the software does not support this function. Our new model DVR card can support the iPhone and Blackberry remote viewing. If you have any further questions or if you need more information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I'll get the info to you by examining the card. This is going to take a bit of time before I get a chance to open the PC. In the meantime here is their home page. They don't show the older boards I use, 1404HS. http://www.i-view.com.tw/ Maybe someone else viewing this message may know the manufacture of the I-View boards. I bought some of the boards I have through, I believe his name was Herman from this forum.

I'm hoping you can determine the manufacturer by these links to the H/W and S/W manuals so I don't have to pull the cards. The last thing I want to do is change the cards. Plan B would be to try and set up remote access on a Blackberry Bold that I also carry.

I'm trying to find a way to access my I-View PC DVR from my IPhone. The Safari browser does not support ActiveX so I cannot access I-View's EZWebServer. The Opera browser may soon be released by Apple and this may work, not sure. Anyone know of any other way to accomplish this? Thanks Bill

Anyone know of a decent eyeglass / DRV combo that works well?

I have multiple PCs each with multiple monitors. I'm trying to figure out a way to input the video that's on each screen into a DVR card, in this case an I-View card. The intent is to remotely view all screens with a good clear image. Non of the monitors have a video out source so I'm lost. My only thought now is to use a VGA Y cable to give me a 2nd video out and find or make a cable to connect the VGA 15pin to a BNC connector for input to my card. Any suggestions? If the above is correct, any idea where I could get the pin outs to do this for both VGA and DVI? Thanks

Rory: That's an impressive laptop, never seen one like that before. Two drawbacks, price and 2.0GHZ chip.

I'm about to select a laptop for remote viewing and I was hoping to get some suggested models that some of the professional CCTV folks on the forum would find ideal. Mobility is not an issue as the laptop will remain mostly in one place so a larger unit with a 17" screen is preferred. My choices so far are maybe the.... HP Pavilion ZD8230US Noteboook http://pcworld.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=10233926 Dell Inspiron 9100 -although it has a 15.4" screen http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/hardware/notebooks/0,39001743,39018301p,00.htm? Any suggestions that you might place on your own wish list? Thanks Bill

Does anyone know of any DVR cards that allow for connecting IP Ccameras?

Thanks for the reply. I did manage to get a 917 unit to work with I-View and gave up on the 716; I'll look into one of the converters you mentioned. Any info on getting an IP camera to work with I-View or are there any other DVR boards that will allow me to include IP cameras as part of the same site?

I just installed a NetCom board, NC-3213USB, in my I-View PC DVR and can operate a Pelco Spectra lll SE Series PTZ via rs485. My problem is trying to operate a Sensormatic / American Dynamics PTZ, RAS716LS, which operates via rs422, Sensornet or Manchester. I see in the Witness S/W that there is a Netcom option for BBV rs422 but I cannot get this camera to move. Is there something else I need, am I just doing something wrong or is I-View not able to support rs422? Any converters I should be looking into? Also, is it possible to use the I-View Witness S/W to incorporate an IP camera? What about other S/W or even boards to be able to operate both rs485, 422 and IP cameras in 1 package. Bill

I changed the resolution on a couple of my cameras from 320*240 to 640*480 but Witness keeps crashing, won't run more than 10 minutes before it crashes. I was initially able to set the video parameters back to 320*240 but then after some testing I found that no matter what I did I could not get Wintess to revert back to 320*240 until after I reloaded it. Any ideas why I can't set to a higher res. I could swear I had done this quite some time ago without a problem, not positive.

I'll answer my own post... I looked at a few Digital camcorders at Circuit City and they all had analog outputs, too expensive though.

I installed an older Panasonic analog camcorder as a CCTV camera because I wanted to use the x16 capability to focus in from a long distance. I am quite happy with the results and want to possibly do something similar with a digital camcorder. Is it possible to connect the digital signal to an I-View card? What kind of conversion device would be needed?
