GeoVision 8.4 Upgrade - READ IF YOU USE PTZ

Recommended Posts

So heres a warning to anybody upgrading to GeoVision 8.4 that uses PTZ, you will have to re-do your PTZ settings. So make a note of all your com ports/ptz camera types and the associated ID numbers for camera mapping.

 

After you upgrade to 8.4 you have to enable PTZ cameras now. They are no longer ALL listed under the system setup area. You actually have to ADD the cameras to showup in that list... its bizar.

 

But under accessories theres a PTZ add/delete area (where you'd do your ptz mapping). From here you add/remove ptz cameras you have installed... then after that you will see them listed under the setup area that you are used to... i learned this after trial/error and speaking to geovision directly. I use two different types of PTZs here on 2 different com ports. I had to re-add the 2nd one and re-do ALL my camera mappings, sucked since i forgot some of my ids but i got it under control.

 

So just a heads up for everybody upgrading, with PTZs its not a simple update you have to do some work.

Another update

 

If you are using Mini Servers with PTZ's attached you will not see it listed automatically like the old days.

 

What you have to do is add the kind of ptz you are using, even though its not physically connected to your DVR its on the IP device, add it anyway. It will then showup in your configuration list (but you dont need to configure it) along with the geovision mini server.

 

Its odd how they do it but i learned this again the hard way after trial/error and talking to geovision
