Problems with New Camera on Geovision System

[ABN1C 0]

Hello. I'm a new member and would be very grateful for some help.

 

I have a Geovision GV650 system at my shop and it's run very well for a couple of years. When it was installed it only ever had seven cameras, so I recently decided to install an additional camera.

 

I noticed the 'limit port' setting on Geovision was set to seven, so I swithced this off. I pluged in the new camera into connection 8 at the PC and got Geovision to install it and the picture appeared okay.

 

However, the quality of the footage is very poor. It has little colour and is quite white and ghostly to look at. I tried plugging the new camera into a different connection at the PC and it worked okay. I then tried plugging an existing camera into connection 8 at the PC and the picture went ghostly too.

 

It would appear there is something wrong with connection 8 at the PC, but I'm not sure whether it's the cable, PC card or some sort of setting on the software. Does anyone have any ideas that I can try to resolve this problem?

 

Thanks.

it sounds like your port for camera 8 is not set up. one way of testing this is to move a good camera from its camera port say from 1 to 8 and see if it is the same. if it is i would look at your settings for camera 8 and look at your PAL and NTSC settings.
