IMHO go for gv800 or spend more on mobotix ip cameras -> great motion detection.

so what is min spec for GV800 (16 cams)? according to GV website that's P4, 1024 RAM. I just need realy cheap 1U rack server for that.

Will geovision card GV800 (PCI 32 bit) work on this server? http://www.networkeleven.com/dedicated/650_specs.pdf 1 x 64-bit/33MHz PCI slot (Available) and 1 x 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X slot (Occupied); both full-height, half-length I need to buy two cheap 1U servers where I can isntall GV800 PCI, SATA would be nice, otherwise I need to stransfer files via LAN.

no this will not work. anyway you can get a chinese clone card for about 200$ to do this. you also need to check what revision is your 1480 card and if it does support dual card mode. you can check this info in the GV 8.3 manual.

Can any 1 tell me what is this software and how to use it? I tried to connect to my server but with no success. you can download this software from http://www.ezcctv.com/attributes/cmplx_sftwr/filename/V831/RemoteViewen8301.zip also what is this: SinglePlayer http://www.ezcctv.com/attributes/cmplx_sftwr/filename/V833/SinglePlayer.zip there is even no exe file after you install it!

send us a photo of the card, does it have hologram on it ? does it have serial number ? try registering your card on geovision website, they will tell you if it is genuine or not.

try changing the PCI slot to another. If that doesn't help, check the card in a nother PC. If the card is ok, reinstal the drivers. What version of software do you use? Is your card genuine? AFAIK this sould not affect the system, you still should be able to record viedo.

btw look here: http://www.diytrade.com/china/4/products-list/0-s-c-1.html?qs=gv-800&qc=prd&ns=1 http://www.diytrade.com/china/4/products/5147388/GV_1480_V8_2.html#normal_img they are 100% fake you can even download the box img:)

so, maybe you got pirated card from your seller. I contacted GV and they said this is a fake card. Can you tell me what was your ebay seller login/id? can you send a photo of your GV box (and I mean the back side). Does your DVD have hologram? Does your hologram looks more like GU than GV ? Is the sign on the hologram moving (GV is shreded) or just skipping? look under the sun on that DVD, is it DVD-R ? strange thing, I have 100% genuine CD from my seller with hologram that is actualy CD-R drive :/ Do you have Geovision label near the IDE port on the card? Can you sen a photo of your card? Is your card V3.52 ? I don't know, maybe they have difrent holograms in USA, i definety got old GV box with picture of 7.x system on back. anyway, since I bought those cards they are runing 24h, and no problem at all. I just wish they were PCI-E....

thnx rory, but still I don't know what causes the system going down btw this is the code for gmail account: Const MAIL_FROM = "yourusername@gmail.com" Const MAIL_TO = "yourusername@gmail.com" Const MAIL_SUBJECT = "GEOVISION DVR RESET" Const MAIL_MESSAGE = "The Geovision DVR has been reset."

Where do I check the event logs? If you mean the event logs in Administrtative Tools, then there is nothing there.

Hi, I just found out that on some machines this script fails due to the memory limitation, help would be appreciated My GV 1480 gets down once in a few days, so I had to keep watching it if it's running ok. Sometimes it took me few hours to notice that the app is down (I don't know why rly -> some exceptions). so I made a small vbs script that will keep my GV system running. here it is 'leave localhost if local computer, else you need to make shure you have sufficient rights ro run the process -> see runas strComputer = "localhost" 'the executable application withouth path strCommand = "notepad.exe" 'the path to executable - must end with backslash "\" strPath = "" 'creditentials for the remote user strUsername = "" strPassword = "" 'the time for app to execute in ms, leave 60 or more so you won't have two instances of the app running intIntTime = 60000 'the interval intLoopTime = 1000 'memory limit in MB intMemoryLimit = null 'verbose output boolVerbose = True On Error Resume Next Set objLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator") Set objWMI = objLocator.ConnectServer(strComputer, "root", strUsername, strPassword) Set quota = objWMI.Get("__providerhostquotaconfiguration=@") If intMemoryLimit Then quota.MemoryPerHost = 1024*1024*intMemoryLimit quota.put_() End If Set objWMIService = objLocator.ConnectServer(strComputer, "root\cimv2", strUsername, strPassword) 'Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set objProcess = objWMIService.Get("Win32_Process") Set objStartup = objWMIService.Get("Win32_ProcessStartup") Set objConfig = objStartup.SpawnInstance_ ' Object ref objConfig.ShowWindow = SW_NORMAL objConfig.CreateFlags = CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB objConfig.ErrorMode = No_Alignment_Fault_Except Do While True Set colProcesses = objWMIService.ExecQuery( "Select * from Win32_Process " & "Where Name = '" & strCommand &"'") If colProcesses.count = 0 Then errReturn = objProcess.Create(strPath & strCommand, strPath, objConfig, intProcessID) If errReturn = 0 AND not boolVerbose Then Wscript.Echo strCommand & " was started with a process ID: " & intProcessID ElseIf not boolVerbose Then Wscript.Echo strCommand &" could not be started due to error: " & errReturn End If WScript.Sleep(intIntTime) End If WScript.Sleep(intLoopTime) Loop save this as a *.vbs file and add to your autostart. this is an example with notepad app, you need to change proper settings. also you can youse this script ro run gv from a remote machine when it is down -> strComputer = "." strCommand = "notepad.exe" strPath = "C:\Windows\System32\" Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set objProcess = objWMIService.Get("Win32_Process") errReturn = objProcess.Create(strPath & strCommand, null, null, intProcessID) If errReturn = 0 Then Wscript.Echo "App was started with a process ID: " & intProcessID Else Wscript.Echo "App could not be started due to error: " & errReturn End If you only need to have sufficient right, you can always use runas to obtain them. HTH

AFAIK it is a clone but i works like a charm. Definetly it was worth the price, I saved 6x1000$

can anyone tell me if this card is genuine ? http://www.galerieallegro.pl/zdjecia/gv800-352/114470/1/

AFAIK you can download GV from : http://www.ezcctv.com/software-download.htm you need to copy the url an change V833 to V834 example: http://www.ezcctv.com/attributes/cmplx_sftwr/filename/V834/Driver.zip http://www.ezcctv.com/attributes/cmplx_sftwr/filename/V834/Local.zip
