cctv_down_under 0 Posted April 26, 2004 Version 3 is not a new software version..."version 3" just emans version 3 cards.. with a new architecture.. the new Version 6 software has the following improvements: 1/ PTZ Dome to Preset on Alarm Activation 2/ Full Screen Pop Up on detection of Movement per Camera 3/ Object Counting to count people or traffic or items. 4/ Object Search to find objects faster in the history of events. 5/ Thumbnail Search to show all frames in a single event to quickly pick the best still shot. 6/ System Log for recording who has done what activies on the DVr as well as register transactions, counting and log ins. 7/ Twin DVR to lessen the load when many connections are made to the DVR 8/ Dynamic DNS support 9/ Remote Acces to datea files and transactions through the web. 10/ Management of Multiple servers from one Web Window. 11/ Geovisions MPEG$ proprietry compression. 12/ POS (point of sale) integration 13/ Version2 Control Room And a few others not worth mentioning....The only difference with version 3 cards is they would cost Geo less and have Audio built in on most models.

got_milk 0 Posted April 28, 2004 Thanks for the replies to my questions. You guys are great! I see there are many changes to the software, however, I'm still unsure what the hardware changes are, i.e., version 3. If I bought an older card, would it make much difference or should I go for the newer version 3 card? Just don't understand what the differences are. Thanks!

cctv_down_under 0 Posted April 30, 2004 Version 3 cards have no BNC plugs on the card.. the box has a bright sticker saying version 3 and they are smaller than version 2 cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
