RORY's a cashwh0re.

Correct.

it sounds like you are not logged in as a administrative user.

Actually, UDP makes the combo cards for GV. I have their new product info, and I an in constant contact with their offices in KOREA.

Notyhing there, and no, no CAT 5. Any other suggestions?

I keep telling you to get ur ass over here and forget about them a$$es, but you don't listen....

I know this might sound stupid coming from a person that sells DVR'S, but I always get different responses. What exactly is WATCHDOG TECHNOLOGY?

well, one thing that you can do is shut off any services that you are not going to use, search the web and you can find a lot of them.

Well, there are also other cards out there other than GEO.

Hey spytown, I was also wondering how their armor day night cameras work. Have you had a chance to play with them?

Stop Crying. I do these things all day long. But I wonder if that's the reason that my head always hurt.....................

I'll have larry delete him

That's the new cheeta. The older series are the same, but without the CDRW.

Neverfocus? that's what rory calls it.

Talk to rory, he's the extreme expert.

I just want to know how a no name company like them came to the market the way they did, and all major distributors are also carrying them. Wonder how.

no way man, those are mini cams intended for spy applications.

Well, you need to speak to me, but I don't know.....You are WAY TOO close to home send me a pm and I'll give you the details.

Dude, it's just Windows, Period. Repartition and reformat the damm thing and call it a day. Now, if you have problems after that, then there is the chance of hardware problem.

I do it the old school dominican way.....I take about 10 feet of wire, and throw it down the ceeling. It works a lot of times, but sometimes it get's wrapped around something, but o well. But my prefered method is having my installers do it

Ok, let me do a little review on this unit. The unit physically looks real nice, like it would blend in with a home entertaiment center perfectly. the buttons are nice, they feel really sturdy and confortable when using. The manual that comes with the ut is USELESS> quoting rory "..no screen shots, its just a setup manual, and doesnt say much, there is no other manual on their site" "...by the way, when you install their Network Software, that has the PDF file with all the info on that, such as user name, password, ports to forward, etc" Nice uh? Telling the unauthorized user how to access the system, when 80% of DVR;S out there are left with default passwords. When the unit starts, it's not a embedded RTOS, the first thing that it says is" Loading OS from Disk" meaning some sort of embedded Linux. so, as you can see in my top post, the HD fails, you are SCREWD. DM charges $150 to load in their os if YOU provide the HD. Otherwise, a replacement OEM 160GIG HD cost $200, plus the $150 for the OS load. This is quoting a technical rep that I spoke to in DM. After the unit starts, it gives you a nice picture, I must admit. The controls are pretty straight foward, and it's easy to do a search by event or time. The playback is also fairly simple, with the standard buttons, nothing special, but it works. The menu system is a little complicated, and nowhere in there is it a option in case that you have to erase or format the drive. The other funcions on this unit are the norm...Scheduling, motion sensing, passwork, camera setup, time, date, E.T.C. One thing that most of you will find really annoying is the fact that for a unit this costly, there is absolutelly no method of backing up the unit other than an external SCSI hard Drive. Come on!!! The worse thing about this unit is not the unit itself, but the warranty, for a $5000.00 DVR to only have 2 year warranty, and a company unwilling to swap out a simple HD that was 2 DAYS over the warranty, got to say something about them. and this is a client with over 15 of these units, which I'm going to swap out to probably GE or Sanyo. Will I ever recommend this product? Why yes, to my father-in-law.!!!! That says it all. Hermin

Well, I got it to work!!! I took the secondary hard drive, and made it a master, plus I also switched the IDE cable, and it works. Now, for those of you who are out there looking for a new DVR, please do yourself a favor, DONT GET Dedicated Crapoo.

you a...

then why the hell does it say "bad FAT", and according to DM, they said that the OS is on the hard drive. Then explain this, I unplugged the bad HD, but left the good one in, and it does the same thing, I'm going to try and boot it with no HD, will keep you guys posted.
