shentim 0 Posted August 6, 2009 Hi, Please make sure to meet the minimum system specs when building a PC with 2 GV DVR cards in it as specified in the data sheets located on our website: www.geovision.com.tw You can learn more about our Central Monitoring Software at: http://www.geovision.com.tw/english/3_1.asp?stable1=Pro&sfiled=pgid&pno=34 It gives you the ability to link multiple DVRs together and can display up to 64 cameras on a screen at once (96 with widescreen). I would recommend for you to contact your authorized GeoVision distributor for pricing information, but feel free to contact me if you would like assistance locating one. Thanks!

saurabhvasa 0 Posted August 7, 2009 Thanks for your reply. I want to view it locally not remotely, then too i will have to purchase a control center software? Any free solution for that ? - Saurabh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shentim 0 Posted August 7, 2009 Hi, You could try using the digital matrix software and add additional monitors to view more cameras if your video card allows for it - the software is included in v8.3+. I believe your best bet would be to link the DVRs together through the CMS software if you want them to all show up on one screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
griffonsystems 0 Posted August 7, 2009 watch for frame rate decrease when you have 2 16ch boards in one dvr - the ability of the drives to keep up with all those feeds has to be investigated good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saurabhvasa 0 Posted August 8, 2009 Thank you so much for your replies. One more Q. What is centerv2 in the software CD? I read in manual, it says it will link two different IP's DVR into one. So, is this the same thing like CMS.? - Saurabh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, is this the same thing like CMS.? - Saurabh Hi Saurabh, We have a few different kinds of software within our CMS category. The CenterV2 software is a basic one which links multiple DVRs together to allow you to view the cameras from them on to one screen and also review archived video from them. Control Center is the upgraded version which allows you complete remote control over the DVR so if you need to adjust settings, take a file off of the PC, etc., you have the option to do so. Control Center allows for an unlimited number of connections. You can definitely learn more at our website on CMS - http://www.geovision.com.tw/english/3_1.asp?stable1=Pro&sfiled=pgid&pno=34 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
