Geo chips and api

Recommended Posts

Anyone got any close up pics of some genuine geo cards?

 

I would like to see what chipsets they use.

 

Also, does geo have a API for development? Is it free if they have one? Is it any good?

They have an SDK ... but you have to answer a bunch of questions first, fill out all kinds of forms .. etc .. its only a minimal SDK as far as i know .. since ofcourse they dont make the cards .. and the actual card manufacturer has an SDK .. which is even harder to get your hands on ..

If its just nda's etc then fine, but if its like some companies where money is the means to a sdk, then no thanks...

 

Worked on many api's/sdks before, not with cctv stuff, but in some secure industries (financial etc) so used to paperwork.

 

Too much hassle if its not free though considering how long hardware lasts before you have to scrap all the software and re-write for the latest new hardware or worse - the latest O/S from microsoft.

Yeah its not that expensive ... which is why I dont think there is much to it .. besides all the questions you have to go through .. actually the card manu is even more ... they want a huge software development company or they wont talk to you ... Geo, I dont know, did receive the email back from them .. but once i saw the questions and the forms it just wasnt worth it ..

Generally SDK's aren't free for smaller types of software. Techincal support for an SDK is expensive, above and beyond what normal tech support requires.
