eyeonutech 0 Posted January 19, 2006 Rory, I'm not using Geo, but that's awsome. You should charge some money for that Thanks for the contribution. Minh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted January 19, 2006 Hi, thanks. I would have if it wasnt in the same month that Geo is supposed to release the new version. But anyway, what I did was just leave out the modified View Log (search and playback) GUI in this version, plus there are so many other things I can do for this, and the new version when it comes out. As im involved in some other major software I will be releasing free software apps as I get them done in between. There will also be seperate paid apps as options i will add to these free apps as I go along, and can customise for anyone. Though my main software project comes before anything else. For now these are only for the forum, not on my site. Also, dont forget, so people dont thing i'm all that biased, Here is a link to custom remote software i did for the GE Security (Kalatel at the time, 3 years ago) Stand Alone RTOS Systems. I even had my own Browser based software for the DVRs before they came out with it!! http://www.bahamassecurity.com/uploads/MSWVUE.ZIP Rory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C7Installer 0 Posted January 19, 2006 Hey Rory, great job on those interfaces! It's really nice of you to offer these mods free of charge. Thanks for sharing your efforts with us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cam2 0 Posted January 19, 2006 Hey Rory, on the subject of being biased, how about PAL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted January 19, 2006 Hi all, thanks. and no prob mon .. those smileys are the bestest ..! I mentioned pal on the dealer section, i dont have a PAL system to test it with. It is possible everything is the same and they named everything with PAL for their own personal reasons (GEO) but it might not be so .. Basically if everything is not right then the Geo system will crash on startup ... so I really need a PAL system to test with .. now if someone gets me VNC and a Geo 7.0x system with web access i can do it ... that way i can see if it works or not, and fix it if i need to, I dont need to see the video at all (which you dont with VNC), just the GUI. Let me know .. ofcourse you will get anything else i have for the GUI such as the View Log mod Rory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C7Installer 0 Posted January 19, 2006 Hey, forgot to ask: Does this work on all NTSC Geo cards using 7.xx software? Just curious about the 1120, 1240 and 1480. I assume they're using the same software, but just in case... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted January 19, 2006 Works on the 1480 as per my last client. I didnt use this actuall software to install the new GUI, i did it by hand, but its the same settings and images (Chrome Version). There is a "RESET DEFAULT" button that sets the 7.05 default settings and images, which are applicable for up to 7.05. The GV System crash generally occurs if some of the images are not the original color count, or if the main Geo config files are not in par with the DVR software versions. Hence the back up when you first apply a Skin, and the Restore button to restore the original files. The Reset Default button uses the settings and files for 7.05.

cam2 0 Posted January 19, 2006 I just got it all running sweet so give me a few days to get tired of it Looks great what you have done. You probably know already but the 7.1 will have a new skin,and seemingly 7.1 is dropped and 8.0 is the new upgrade!! Wait till G22 finds out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted January 19, 2006 You got this running with PAL? Actually this IS the 7.1 Skin (at least similar), but customized for the older/current systems The Chrome version anyway. The other 3 versions are just modded versions of the Chrome one. The View Log was actually the hardest to customize, and which is why I only have that in Chrome right now, and why im not just "giving it out" right now. The new commands with the 7.1 are totally different from the 7.0xx so thats why i had to incorporate a bit of both, see the View Log Image example. 7.1 is going to be great, i just couldn't wait for it myself, and for my clients. Plus, it will be the same as far as customisation so Im getting myself ontop of it before it is released. All credit goes to Geo 100% as they really are putting alot of work into the 7.1 version, and they spent some hard cash on the graphics for 7.1. I'm just throwing something into play for the current cards/software ... but when the new software comes out, ill have it ready also ... I just wanted to share this with everyone as I didnt know how long it will last. Rory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iSpyVision 0 Posted January 19, 2006 I was talking to another Importer about the new release 7.1. The new version is now going to be called 7.4 (not 7.1) and it is only going to work on new hardware to be release anytime now. She says the new release will not work on current cards (even the 1480).The current cards on the market will only be able to go as high as 7.05 . I heard about the swap out program but I didnt relise it applied to ALL cards. My Geo rep is on vacation so I couldn't confirm it. Anyone else hear the same thing?

cam2 0 Posted January 19, 2006 Many existing cards will not be cabable of upgrading to the V.8/7.1 upgrade. They want to implement a program where we send in our existing cards and have to buck up for a new card and lose the old one forever. If one doesn't have a newer card the highest we will be able to upgrade even with the dongle is to the current version on 7.0.5.0. these are the cards that DO NOT need to be exchanged: GV250 GV600(S) V3.20 --> BNC Card GV600(S) V3.21 --> D-Type Card GV650(S) V3.30 --> BNC Card GV650(S) V3.31 --> D-Type Card GV800(S) V3.30 --> BNC Card GV800(S) V3.31 --> D-Type Card GV800-4A V3.10 GV1120 V1.02 GV1240 V1.02 GV1480 V1.02 Clearer here http://www.polvision.com.pl/files.asp?lang=en&id=68 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iSpyVision 0 Posted January 19, 2006 What you posted is what I was told before. Apparently they have changed it and say that it will only work with the new new cards coming out soon now ( as of yesterday). I wonder if Geo even knows sometimes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cam2 0 Posted January 19, 2006 I would hope all combo cards would comply, according to polvision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iSpyVision 0 Posted January 19, 2006 Especially being I have a ton of new combo cards in stock!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper 0 Posted January 19, 2006 The combo cards haven't even been around that long so you should be OK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cam2 0 Posted January 19, 2006 yeah, i know what your saying . You could understand the new software compatibility problems on older cards,it will bring a lot of $$ for geo, this would force people to update who wanted to make use of the new software. Surely if the combo cards arn't compatible this would be suicide for Geo! Seemingly its ver 8.0 not 7.1, Scott where are you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted January 19, 2006 If that was the case they would loose alot of clients. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cam2 0 Posted January 19, 2006 Too right! They are already skating on thin ice with the older cards not accepting the software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iSpyVision 0 Posted January 20, 2006 Here is the offical Geo reponse to the rumor. Just for your information. Hi Cliff, Combo cards were newly designed DVR cards to provide better performance (DVR card + DSP Card + Audio Card) at lower price and also to replace the original GV-900 and GV-1000. All Combo cards (GV-1120, GV-1240 and GV-1480) are able to run next update version software, which you may download the upgrade software online later while next version software is available . What XXX told you was incorrect. I'll have my colleague to remind XXX on this information. Sorry for the confusion. Best Regards, Bonnie GeoVision Inc.

Yeah, but - from what I know - this 8.0 information was for INTERNAL USE ONLY....
