bennyGoon 0 Posted March 25, 2010 Hey all, I wanna thank you guys for helping me out earlier with my card selection. The GV 600 is awesome so far. I am a programmer and I am looking to extend my GV capabilities. The LiveVue software works great, but there's no way to register for it, website says page not found. If development is halted, why not remove the licensing or release the source code? Lastly, is there a GV API available? I am thinking about writing some software just for my use... maybe integrating into window media center. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes unfortunately it did not go as planned and only a few persons were actually interested in it over the 2-3 year span, not enough to keep funding going on the project unfortunately. to be honest I would like to see it go somewhat open source though as it is in VB6 that is easier said then done, also I would like to see the idea go beyond just Geo. I have been working on a new multisite version for quite some time on and off, and even recently recoded it completely and even added in some Axis activeX support at least for testing IP cameras (the code in the original version was not the cleanest but yes it worked, just not for multisite apps). I even did alot of testing with the 8.3+ activeX controls/SDK but those are even slower, but do have more features - just when trying to load 32+ cameras it is very heavy. Even the 7.0 is heavy on 32+ but nowhere near as bad as the 8.3+. Regardless, I am using the 7.0 activeX in LiveVue, in 8.3 it stopped working due to recode on Geo's side of it. but from 8.32 it began to work again as they fixed "bugs" (perhaps). They dont actually give us any API, but just ActiveX. There is some API though for local Server based but then that would also mean adding in your own server on every DVR, hence the reason I am using the ActiveX control, dynamically loaded, somewhat, in VB6 need to add one control then load the rest from that, I am open to learning another programming language or working with another developer to enhance it even more. If you would like to talk more about it, I am open to ideas ... shoot me an email over at my website (http://www.bahamassecurity.com/contact.asp) (faster) or leave a PM on this forum. If you just want to activate it, let me know also and I can handle that for you. If you just want to know a little more about how to do it, the basics, let me know also and I dont mind assisting a fellow developer Thanks, Rory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bennyGoon 0 Posted April 4, 2010 Hey Rory, Thanks a bunch, I don't necessarily need to write any software. You're LiveVue software seems perfect for what I want. Can you send me an activation key? Also, I know VB is sometimes frowned upon in the open source world because of MS, but I vote to upload the source code to google code. http://code.google.com then other devs can benefit and expand on your work, Thanks!
