GoVision GV3008H - no pre-record.

[keat63 0]

Chaps.

 

I replaced my ageing AVtech dvr last weekend for a more up to date system, with higher res camears etc.

An ebay special 'GoVision GV3008H', i'm guessing it's a chinese clone of something else.

I'm having problems getting pre record on motion detect to work.

 

With a 20 second pre-record configured, if I create a masked area, and step inside the mask, then motion detect is triggered, and recording starts, but it only starts from the point at which is was triggered.

In effect, when played back, I appear from nowhere.

 

If I'm outside the mask, I can hang about there all day long, and nothing is recorded, step over the line, recording starts.

So I know that the mask is working is intended.

So either the DVR is not pre-recording, or if it is, then it doesn't play this portion back.

 

Does anyone have any experience with this system or can offer any advice.

if it is a fake you probably are stuck with the problem.  I have used real Geo for years and have not encountered this particular problem but I never had any need to set pre record to more than a couple of seconds

Hi no not a clone ...... Just a China company making themselves look like Taiwan based geovision don't get them mixed up 

 

govision is a low budget unit with a lot of misleading specs ...... 5mp sold as 4K 

prices start at $55 ........ Is enough to know it's cheap junk

I guess it would help if I read the post a little better govision vs Geovision!

It didn't take me long to figure that it was a play on something else.

Funny how GeoVision manufacture a GV3008.

I think I've identified it to: http://www.xiongmaitech.com/en/

 

I know it's cheap, this is why I bought it, but then so was my old AVTech which has served me well for going on 10 years.

It does everything I need it to do, other than the pre-record issue.

Maybe I'll try reducing the threshold instead of keep increasing it.

have you set recorder to motion or 24hr record. And you don’t need to mask off in motion alerts that is something different.... that’s motion alarm
