Hi Is it possibe to view selected channels on a second monitor on the GV800 version 8. the system running the software would be situated in the back office viewing all channels and a monitor only situated in the shop for the staff to monitor selected channels only. Cheers

Hi Tpolus Thanks for the info sounds a great idea and i only need the lead to the monitor thanks again for your help. Cheers

Hi i was wondering if that was possible as i already have a graphics card installed (geforce 7300gs) with two outputs but wasnt sure if i could restrict the amount of cameras to be viewed by the staff Cheers

Hi guys Thanks for the info i do have another pc next to where i want to site the monitor which is used for the till and is also networked to the computer with the geo operating system but it runs on windows 98 so i am thinking it isnt capable of utilising for my purpose. cheers

Hi I have tried uninstalling and reinserting the card as you suggested but i am still getting the problem with the loop the sytem say "Find an error on last initializing trying to recover system from this error initial system DB"". Seeing i have deleted all the files and directories and the ini files i cant see where the error is being prompted from. Any ideas Guys

Hi Guys I have a problem with a GV800 installation where it shut down due to some error and now refuses to start all i get is a message saying it is trying to recover from a previous error (over and over again). I have tried uninstalling the software and directories and even restored the software to a earlier time and then reinstalling the version 8.00 software but i am still getting the error. Any ideas were i am going wrong Cheers

Thanks for the info i will try your suggestions and let you know how it turns out. Is this a common problem with the GEO????? Thanks for your help

Hi Still learning so i need all the help i can get, so i get it right, as there could be more installations to follow on from this one so i need to provide a system up to the job at a realistic price. cheers

Hi Guys i have just been asked to install a system into a warehouse and as this is my first major installation i was hoping you could give me your views on which type/make of cameras you would suggest as they would need to operate in the dark (IR) but be able to record an image 20-30 mtrs away with as much clarity as possible also what type of video cable would you suggest over a distance of 100+ mtrs Cheers

Hi Guys thanks for the info but i think you are right think they will probably have a heart attack at the price as they need 8 of them. are there anymore cameras that will do the job at a more realistic price and if so where can i source them from on a trade basis in the uk. Cheers

HI Has Anyone had any experience with using a graphics card on the PCI express slot as i have been trying to set up my own system using a geforce 7300gs card and it refuses to run my cctv system there is no motion onscreen and the only way to see a picture is to to click on the camera and then all i get is a snapshot i am assuming that it is the graphics cards fault or could it be something else?. i know that the advice is not to purchase a card from ebay but i checked with previous buyers and they were happy with the card (i have provided a link to view the DVR card if it helps. Specification: Motherboard: MSI P965 NEO Chipset: Intel Processor: p4 2.8 Duo (2 x 1.4ghz) Ram: 1gb DDR2 Graphics card: Geforce 7300gs 256MB/DDR2 Dvr Card: 8ch 200/240fps/h.264 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/8-Channe-240fps-Real-Time-High-Speed-Video-DVR-card-H_W0QQitemZ300064381320QQihZ020QQcategoryZ88756QQcmdZViewItem thanks

Thank You for your Help it is very much appreciated so it looks like i will have to sell my geforce 7300gs pci express card and get a ATI

Hi Turksan Thanks for your comment regarding the graphics card Have you had any experience with this particular DVR card or is it applicable to all cards of this type as it says in the specs that geforce is recommended. Thanks

Hi I have sent the card back to the supplier but i wondered if the fault was with the graphics card as i managed to get it to run on a AMD 2.4 via chipset motherboard and matrox g400 card. by the way the card did have 8 chips on the board and the connectors for 8 cameras and the system did see 8 channels. cheers

Is there anyone who can supply me with a Gv1240 card for 8 Cameras or would a 16 camera card be a better option as i guess that if i need to expand later it would probably be a smarter move. Am i right in saying that if i only use 8 channels i would be able to record at 30 fps but if i use 9+ cameras then the recording rate would reduce? Cheers

Hi Guys this is my first post as ive up to now been browsing through the forum trying to get a feel for what system would be suitable for a retail outlet. I would be looking for a system that can record 8 cameras at 30 fps and be capable of audio on at least 3 of the cameras. any info would be appreciated on what spec would be required etc as i dont mind building a suitable pc and installing the hardware and software if its cost affective. I`ve seen numerous cards/systems on ebay and seen the comments on this site but there are some who say they are registered with geovision and only use legit components, (these are mainly in america and i am uk based) and the prices look competitive, are these to good to be true or are they worth a gamble? has anyone used these type of companies before?. Also if ther are any Uk based Agents out there who can sell me the right components at the right price let me know. cheers

thanks for reply Yes i want to record 30 fps on all 8 channels the application would be for monitoring theft, transactions etc so needs to be good quality images. Yes i would be looking for hi res cammeras aswell
