Shaky video and and computer crashing...

[libertysurveillance 0]

We are experiencing major problems at an installed site. Using a GV-800/12 and have swapped out the computer, but our problems still exist. We are now getting cameras that look like the iris's are opening up and closing (the views show flashing bright to normal and are intermitent.) we are also getting waivering borders between some cameras in a variety of grid views. Most discouraging is the computer is crashing and when viewing the log, it seems as though GeoVision is running ok when the system crashes.

Does anyone know if an additional video card might help our problem? Help!

Hi, please post the complete PC specs, including the OS version and Geo Software Version.

 

Also, does the PC crash without the Geo card in?

 

Thanks

when you say your system is crashing.......does it shut down completely? does it reboot?

 

also are you getting any video lost?

Also how is the power supply to thr cameras?

 

 

Can this be attibuted to anything not so obvious? Happens when big ol AC or refer compressor fires up on the other side of the wall.

GeoVision version 8.11 the os is windows xp version 2002 sp2 home. E521 w/1GB NVIDIA graphics and AMD Athon 64 X2 dual-core 3600 when it crashes it blue screens. RQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL in one instance the crash location was an absurd 0x00005643

 

It never reboots. It has never crashed without geo card. It was also run at the shop a week before install (with the first computer) and never crashed while the geo-vision software was running (8.01) before upgrade.

 

Yes we are getting Video lost from time to time on 2 cameras. This is legacy from the old system we replaced. We are tracking this down too.

 

BTW this is the 3rd computer installed because the others had the forbidden chip-sets listed on the Geo website. This is not the only install that we are having problems with the GV-800

What is the motherboard model?

 

If it has onboard video, maybe use that instead of the video card just to test. Ive used onboard video with the 1120 before without issues, but it has to be something like the Intel 950.

 

EDIT. see that it is a Dell with : NForce 430 chipset with the AM2 socket

 

I would suggest a Motherboard with an Intel Chipset. Had a Via chipset with the 800 working for a few days then started to have problems, so more than likely that is the problem. SIS works okay sometimes also, but to be certain you would need an Intel chipset.

If you do swap the motherboard, this is one Ive been using that works well for the combo cards also, its a Micro ATX and you can use the onboard video if needed. You would need an Intel 775 CPU though, however slower than the AMD one mentioned, the P4 3.2 and even the PD 3.2 are both under $100 now, otherwise the Core 2 Duo 2.4 would be in the $200 range. Memory would be the same as you already have.

AMD = poo

 

Hey, i have an AMD PC here

But yeah for the DVR cards and new home PCs, i just stick to Intel chipsets now .. however, I do use ATI Video cards, which is AMD anyways

Your talking about the GV-1120 to gv-1480 range yes?

You get good DSP results on the computer screen using on-board graphics with this MB?

 

If so im converted.

Yes, the 1120 specifically.

Looks pretty much the same with VGA. The DVI is the only real difference, and even that isnt much when dealing with LCD monitors and CCTV Video. The DSP has nothing to do with the actual video card used either.
