morem_uk 0 Posted April 13, 2011 Hi Need a big hand sorting out a pelco VMX-300 video management system. The problem is that cameras are freezing every 1-2 days (Cameras are pelco spectra dome ptz's, DVR's are pelco dx8000/8100's). every so often when the video freeze, it comes up with an error message "Switch Error" on a random window. The only way to get the video back is to close the vmx client, then shutdown the pelco dx8000 device drives (there are two device drivers on ports 2075 & 2076). Then to restart the device drivers and start the vmx client. Since this product is obsolete, there is limited support available from pelco. Although pelco have suggested to uninstall the drivers & reinstall them. It appears this is not easy to do, since the device drivers hold all the information about the DVR's & cameras they are connecting to. Can anyone help me with this problem? Kind regards Sri.

mrcxb 0 Posted July 18, 2011 Hi, Actully its a typical vmx-300 problem. Actually , It depends on how many channel do you want to preview on the screen ? VMX-300 allow to show you max 4 channel at one client. It means if you use more then 4 channel on your workspace. You will have a problem . There is no way to fixed it. We have been using very powerful machine ( i7 ) , Even we want to watch 8 channel on one client . The client gives same error in 2-3 days. One more thing ; Pelco no longer support the vmx systems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
