Changing Resolutions with Geovision Software

[RichTJ99 0]

Hi,

 

I am using Geovision 7 & I have 6 cameras setup at the moment. Rory helped setup my camera #1 (it was the only one at the time). The other 5 cameras were added by me. I am having problems setting the resolution. Right now everything is set for the 720xXXX size however, when I have a motion detection recording, it is recording at 320x240 & at 8kbps for the data.

 

The camera 1 is recording at 720x480 & is getting 28kbps of data for the avi file.

 

Camera 1 is clearly crisper than the other 5 but I think that is due to my software configuration.

 

How do I make it the higher resolution?

 

Thanks,

Rich

in the camera set up, goto System Setup, Camera, RECORD CONTROL, Change the quality with the little green arrow, from default 320x240 to ... 720x480

Do it for each camera, or click the Green arrow under the RECORD CONTROL title, and that will make all cameras have the same RECORD CONTROL settings as set for that camera.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I followed (and understood) your instructions. For some reason, camera 1 (the one you setup), when I look at the avi files (right click & properties, then summary), says camera one is 720x480, data rate is 561 kbps, video sample size is 24bit). Cameras 2-6 (which you didnt setup), says that each AVI file is: 360x240 (the rest of the info is the same). Even though Geovision is set to use that higher resolution, it is not doing so (for some reason).

there's 2 sections for Resolution, the Video Source, which controls the overall resolution, and then depending on which source you set it to, a recording quality for each camera individually.

Right, there is "Configure - Video Source" Then the top on is NTSC, then the second one says "720x480 Deinterlaced".

 

Then I click "Configure - System Configure - camera 1 - recording quality - then i click on the green arrow & it says already 720x480"

 

When I look at the AVI files, only camera 1 is recording at 720x480, cameras 2-6 are set for the same thing but they are only recording at the 360x240 setting.

If you are recording continuos, make sure to stop recording then start again ..

Nothing really anything to do with DVR's, but similar problem with AVI files shrinking down to 360x240 from 720x480.
