Geovision Card GV-1480A and network storage

Recommended Posts

Hi all, new to the forum and hope I can find some answers here.

 

I recently replaced an existing DVR for one of my clients with a Geovision GV-1480A based system running software version 8.3.4.0. The GV box is setup to store the database and video on one of my NAS boxes through a drive mapping. This part works fine so far. Where I am running into trouble is on one of the workstations that needs to be able to access/playback the stored video. Now, we have been attempting to do this with the RemoteView Log application, but I cannot for the life of me find where to set the path for the database and video. Of course I can reload the database from the menu and point it to the folder, but it does not retain the setting. This is for an end user, so it really needs to be automated and foolproof. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated.

 

thx,

-BFJ

Is this workstation viewing the stored video on the LAN? If so, you may want to use the LANViewLogControl.exe app located in the Geo GVXXXX folder. Look at page 172 of the User manual for configuration info.

 

You can also try using the the Remote PlayBack server. Just load the RPB client on the workstation.

On 8.3 and newer when you open Remote Viewlog there is a option on the screen to chose Remote DVR or Remote Storage. Have you tried the Remote Storage option? I haven't but was just wondering.

Hey guys,

 

Thanks for the info. I am not sure why, but it appears that the RPB Server was not functioning properly. I disabled, then re-enabled it and all is good.

 

thx,
