Ghazi 0 Posted February 2, 2007 I am using the vnc remote viewing to get in my desktop at work computer. from this software, i can change the setting of the dvr, and all, but is there a application, in which you can get in the bios, remote start, reboot everything remotly. i dont think vnc does that, but i heard there is such a thing. one more question how many ports total geo-vision use. i just recently had to add 5222 to remotly view logs, I have about 9 ports open in my router linksys, and i have no more place.. vnc, geohttp, and all others 4550 5550 6550, how many more geo-vision use, i want all of them unabled? please advise thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p3ter 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Do a Google search on "KVM over IP" (with the quotes) - you will see lots of devices that do what you are describing. I believe some of them actually use the VNC protocol, which means you can use your familiar "VNC Viewer" client. The main difference is that VNC, RDP, etc are software solutions running on the currently running operating system, wheras these devices connect externally to the Keyboard, Video & Mouse ports, digitize this information & and send it over an IP network. Most remote desktop solutions are not intended to deliver video at full frame rate, so these solutions should really only be considered for controlling the computer, not for viewing security cameras live (unless you have a REALLY low frame rate...) One of the situations this type of device might be useful is where a crashed server needs a callout just to perform the reboot, but for 9/10 problems there is a simpler/cheaper alternative. A watchdog device (Google cleware "usb watchdog" for one example) that plugs in via the USB port, and presses the servers reset button if a 'keep alive' signal is not received.
