edselrt 0 Posted May 27, 2011 What software is best to display up to 25 screens full screen from a remote PC within LAN? Right now my customer has one GV 1480 with 16 analog cameras connected to it and two Geovision Ip cameras for a total of eighteen cameras. I am going to add three more analog cameras by installing one more GV 1480 card. Total cameras after upgrade will be 21 cameras. He is viewing the cameras from another PC using remote desktop because the DM multiview is limited to 16 or 32 screens only. Is there a remote client software that can have 24 or 25 screens? On another note, Is it ok to add 1 more Gv 1480 card to the existing configuration? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted May 27, 2011 as far as Geovision original software goes, CenterV2 will do 24/25 way (25 in 1024x768). It wont go full screen by default but you could try the full screen hack here: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=25232&p=152478#p152478 For CenterV2 though you need to setup the remote PC to accept requests for the port (default 5551) and set that IP in the DVR's centerV2 setup. In CenterV2's preferences you would check the box to close the channel manually so it always stays up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rory 0 Posted May 29, 2011 another method I forgot about, using activeX inside IE. similar to whats on my site for 4-16 way video (see Geovision WEBCAM) In fact you can use the 8.32 activeX installer from that link, as this is for 8.3 activeX. Or just grab any Geovision 8.3 + OCX Installer (includes codecs + livex) The attached text file has the site connection settings hard coded into the html page, 25 way, has basic instructions in the javascript for how to use it. Can be a little heavy with 25 cameras in IE but I just did a test with 24 cameras from 2 sites and it was okay even on a P4 3Ghz. Attached it as a text file, save it as a .htm or .html etc and open with notepad or other to edit the sites, then just open it with IE on your desktop or put it on your site. I even put in a function to allow one to set the connection for all cameras to highest resolution (obviously for local network only). There's alot that can be done between javascript and vbscript but in this case its limited to IE so I dont spend much time on it. Although you could try IE Tabs in google chrome. Had to make it a zip file as the forum wouldnt allow me to upload a text file (LOL). stream25way.zip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harrar 0 Posted May 30, 2011 I thought you can only view 16 cameras simultaneously with standard webcam? Sorry, you're right! Standard Geo only allows you to display 16 of 32 cameras in Simple view. Not many people use Simple View. We had a couple of customers that needed additional cameras displayed (18 and 21) and had to modify the LanMpegMultiView.html file. Lot of fun (!/?) playing with Geo software. I'll have to try Rory's solution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edselrt 0 Posted June 26, 2011 Now, I am having problem with the set up mentioned above. For some reason the pc just reboots itself. I had to keep on restarting multicam everyday. I checked the geohealth.ini and this is the latest entry: SWDogActive=(2011- 6-26 7:37:18). I have checked Windows event viewer and noticed some error logs pertaining to terminal server error such as "the terminal server received a large number of incomplete connections" and also something like "the time service has not able to synchronize the system time for 49152 seconds..."and also "the rdp protocol component x.224 detected an error in the protocol stream and has disconnected the client" There is no error log referring to Geovision software. PC specs are as follows: 1. Intel DX58so motherboard 2. Intel core I7 cpu 920 @ 2.67ghz 3. 4 gb of ram 4. Windows XP pro service pack 3 5. ATi Radeon X1650 series video card Have you guys seen this same problem before? Thanks for your help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
