I have never seen the pci bus on a computer determine resolution on anything... I have seen resolutions based on what the camera supports and what the monitor you are using supports. That number doesn't fit the standard 4:3 ratio that a lot of things use... 640x480 does....

put 192.168.0.100 like rory said on the dvr put 192.168.0.101 on your pc... you should put 255.255.255.0 as your subnet on both you *may* need a default gateway (windows doesn't require it but your dvr might) and you can put anything as long as it starts with 192.168.0. the last number doesn't matter at this point because you are in the same subnet and it doesn't do any routing it is just there as a placeholder... then connect the pc and dvr with a crossover... once you do that put the 192.168.0.100 in you software as the dvr to connect to and see what happens...

For testing purposes I mean to put static ips on your dvr and your pc, not from the router... If you put static ips on your dvr and pc and you connect with a crossover, you won't be using the router at all in that instance.

It's more of a way just to rule out something wierd with the router.... If you put statics on your pc and dvr and then use a crossover to the dvr and still have the same issues, it's with the dvr or the software, not anything with the network... unless you have some kind of software firewall on your pc... make sure all software firewalls are turned off just in case... -Marcus

Maybe bob should contact the place he bought it and say something about a sticky wicket caught in his knickers, or whatever english people say and find out too if they have heard of this as well... Because rory is right, if it connects up with telnet, you should be able to make it work.... but like scott said too, it could be that piece of crap netgear too... try putting static ips on your pc and the dvr and hook it together with just a switch, or if you are close enough with a crossover... -Marcus

Looks like in the manual it says "Confirm Disconnect". If it worked before and your software crashed you probably couldn't confirm your disconnect, so it smells of the system just not letting go of the connection. The system may have to be rebooted before remote connections will work again. -Marcus

oh, you're right, that is the manual for the SK-7220 series... http://www.koreacctv.com/eng/images/item/387_n.pdf that is the one for the SK-7223 specifically... my bad... Anyway, were you in a lan or are you remote?

Are you in a lan with the dvr? It would probably be a lot easier to troubleshoot. If you're remote, say from home or something, it might be other issues, such as internet connection at the remote site, or router crapping out... (I stopped using netgear equipment a long time ago as they sucked when I used them, but I don't know about their current lines.) Then again it could be just that the little standalone needs to be rebooted, maybe it doesn't see the disconnect and still thinks someone is connected and won't let anyone else in. At this point it could be any number of things for it. -Marcus

Here's the manual... http://www.koreacctv.com/eng/images/item/367_n.pdf To me it doesn't look like kodicom software will work, the software they have in the manual looks very basic. It didn't have any of the kodicom earmarks ie. site-code, etc. I don't use a whole lot of standalones besides the kodicom ones and only then a few. We used to use dedicated micros, but found it too limited on what we wanted out of it. Now I may be wrong, but I believe on the standalone kodicom units there is a slightly different client software than the pc based client software, if memory serves me. Did you try installing the software that came with it on a different pc in the network to see if it is just the pc you are on? -Marcus

He said "SUNKWANG".

que? = what? meaning you should elaborate please on your problem... Like what kind of standalone do you have? Was it a kodicom standalone, if not, did it come with software of it's own? Here you can never give too much info... well, almost... Anyway, it would be like going to a mechanic and saying, "Hey I have a car, and it won't go in reverse, could I put this GM transmission on it and make it work?" -Marcus

que?

I think the point has digressed quite a bit from recovering kodicom data that has been written over... LOL Even if you can get the bits of the file, as heloder mentioned it can't be properly reconstructed to be viewed. We have had similiar experiences with a bank that wanted video data from 3 weeks from before the earliest possible recording in their kodicom dvr. We had to tell them it was not possible and then we proceeded to sell them a bigger unit to keep their data for 6 months instead of 2. In this example, this guy is SOL. He probably doesn't want to spend thousands of dollars on data recovery services and whatnot... It's a case of, "Sorry buddy, should have backed it up sooner or got a bigger hard drive." -Marcus

I used an RF remote from radioshaft that had a JP1 connector on the back for programming in obscure satellite reciever codes into my remote. Then I could control that hardware anywhere in the house (I had it rebroadcast through video senders). The JP1 makes it so you can do a lot with the universal remotes, that you couldn't normally do. I am not sure if radioshaft still sells these remotes, but I got mine fairly cheaply under $75 as I recall. Here is a link that explains a bit about programming a remote with a JP1 on it. http://www.hifi-remote.com/jp1/help/index.shtml The remote I had was this one, an 8 in 1 learning remote: http://support.radioshack.com/support_video/doc70/70607.pdf

Would forensic software work for overwritten data? The kodicom software I have seen recycles the oldest data and overwrites it with new data. I suppose anything is worth a shot but I don't know if it would work in this instance since the data wasn't simply erased, it is part of a revolving file storage that is tied to the kodicom software. -Marcus

I'm afraid you are more than likely SOL. If it doesn't show up in your available time in the calendar it has already been overwritten. I have never been able to get data beyond what the calendar shows. -Marcus

Hello, Does anyone know what kind of system/cameras that this place is using? http://hogsbreath.com/hogcam/ Thanks, Marcus

Hello, I am looking at integrating access control and a dvr card into the same system. We have been using Kodicom DVRs and with that software you can't minimize it and use it for anything else. You actually have to shutdown the software with the (Ctrl-Alt-Shift-F4). I am looking for either a different software to use with those type of cards that can minimize or a completely different brand of card and software that can minimize and continue recording. I would prefer a card that can do 120fps or more. If anybody has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Marcus

LOL That is what I thought. I even emailed the guy on ebay and here is what he said: These card are OEM cards they come is an anti static bag. They are not in a retail box. We are a direct distributer for the card so there are no licensing problems. Thanks, eDigital Deals Quoting marcus L : > What kind of cards are these?

Does roadrunner offer additional ips? I know my cable company offers additional ips for $5 a month each. If they do, you can go about it a couple of different ways to make it easier on yourself: 1. This way is the cheapest, but not necessarily the best as anyone knows the more stuff you install the more points of failure you make. You can take a switch and put it inline from the cable modem to the 2 routers. Put a different static IP on each router, do your port forwarding and go from there. Cheezy, easy and quick. 2. I prefer this method as I have already done it several times with less mess and confusion. I took a Cisco Pix501 50 user firewall and put it in place from the cable modem and did static maping of the publics with only the ports open that are needed to the intenal ips I need them to go to. Also was able to offer them rock solid vpn connection to their main office site in another city. You can make the pix cheaper if you don't need as many users on it. This way is more expensive, but it is excellent for reliability and performance. I always look at it like, if I will spend a little more up front, then you save yourself a lot of service call time and hassles, not to mention making the customer happier. Anyway, just my 2 cents. -Marcus

After reading this thread, does anyone know of any legit DVR card sellers on ebay? From what I can tell is that almost all the cards on ebay seem somehow cheezy and way lower in price than what I have seen through most real dealers/distributors. I have seen some boards with high prices, but I just don't know if that is someone trying to pass off a fake with a high price to avoid being questioned about authenticity. It's the number one rule of passing off a good lie is to believe it yourself first. So I was just wondering if anyone maybe has any dealings with reputable sellers on ebay that are in fact real dealers that maybe make lower profits on a per card basis, but make it up by doing volume? I have my suspicions when prices are too good to be true, because in the case of DVR cards, they usually are. -Marcus

Praystation2, If I were you I might pop a little extra money for an extra drive and a raid card that can do raid 5 if that mobo can't do it. You will get good performance with some redundancy. You don't get all the space of all the drives, but if one of them fails you will have a chance to be able to replace the defective one, and not get totally screwed by not having your data. Because lets face it, cheap hard drives go down all the time like a 2 dollar hooker with a half price sale. -Marcus
