Geovision video playback question

[darrenkarp 0]

Hi,

 

I've two cameras attached to my GV800 system running version 7.0 of

the software and when playing back the recorded video from my PC

(using the GV webserver)it appears a little jittery in places. It's

not just one or two of the videos but all of them.

 

GV is set to record motion and I don't know (newbie alert!) on what

basis it stops recording. For example, does it start as soon as motion

is detected? How long after motion has stopped does it continue to

record?

 

Any advice or pointers warmly welcomed.

I'm using a different sofware version than you, so there might be some differences in the screens I mention but the explaintion should be the same.

 

System Configure >> Camera 1 tab >> Monitor Control box

 

If the Record Video is checked and the list box is set to "Motion" then when you start monitoring it will record all motion 24x7. There are settings that determine if it captures video from the start and after the event. Those settings are located on the General Setting tab.

 

System Configure >> General Setting tab >> Motion Option box

 

If you want video captured AFTER the motion event ends check this box and set the number of seconds after motion you wish to record.

 

If you want video captured BEFORE the motion event check the Pre-Record check box and then select the arrow icon, the Pre-Record Setup window displays. Depending on the speed of your processor and amount of RAM in your computer some options on the Pre-Record Setup window may not be available. Basically, you have to divide the Total Frames box by the Frames/Sec Limitation and that will equal the number of seconds that will PRE record before the motion event.

 

You can also set up schedules with motion capture.
