CenterV2 - How To Turn Off Log

[Adam Daley 0]

So I have a client whos got 30 monitors going up. I might have mentioned this a while ago but its happening. Now... we're monitoring i'd say 20+ off-site locations. We're using Center V2 to do this so that they are not streaming every camera 24/7, only if motion is detected does it pop-up... the issue we're having is we don't like the 6 camera display in center v2, not enough cameras sometimes (most systems have a dozen cameras)... we can do 15 but the cameras are small... what we'd really like to do is the 9 camera view, but thats only an option if you FLOAT the log... welll our issue is

 

1) Each system has a single display running Center V2

2) We prefer to run at 1024x768 as it keeps things clean/big

3) Switching to 1280x1024 i think gave us the FLOATING option, but agian we'd have to hide it and what not and it wasnt realy a great way to do it

 

So is there a way/hack to get the log to STOP showing up on the bottom, we don't care to see it at all (we actually have a dedicated computer running center v2 pro with dual displays showing the log on one screen and cameras on another)... let me know... heres a photo for those curious as to how far we've gotten along so far (and to our vendor: now you know what all those cards were for, heh)

Sounds like a job for a custom program ..

 

Otherwise, this is something I did a while back in June 2007, though CenterV2 might have changed since then. I dont even remember what CenterV2 looks like as its really been that long LOL, but here is the thread and the link with a working download of the custom hack, im pretty sure I was hiding the log which comes up on the right side though:

I still have the VB6 code if you are interested in working on it yourself.

Thanks rory i'll give your program a shot. Our programmer here is using C++ so thanks for the offer but i dont think he'll be able to use your VB stuff.

Okay little update. We ended up trying a 2nd video card and i made a dummy vga adapter. I took an extra DVI - VGA adapter, insert somed resistors in the right spots and it tricked windows into thinking i have a 2nd display. So that'll do for us. Wish there was a free solution, as a video card for each is $30, resistors are peanuts.
