Screen Flashing

[libertysurveillance 0]

We have a couple of units that have this flashing problem it appears to happen when the hard drive gets full. All the camera screens start to flash or flicker in real time. But if you clean out the archived videos and reboot the problem stops until the hdd becomes full again. We are using version 8.1x and the hdd is on recycle.Also dont know if this would help but the dvrs have multiple hdd and are running on win xp home sp2 Wondering if anybody has come across this any help would be great

Is C:\GVxxx one of the recording paths?

Partition your drive, or use a dif drive for os (preffered)

20 gb for OS and the rest for footage

Name 2nd part video 0

video 1 video 2 for the additional partitions,

 

Seems your setup is incorrect

Yes it is C:\GVxxx

Follow MCS's advise.

 

Recording to the same disk that Windows resides on is a bad idea. Windows (pagefile) and GeoVision (footage) can fight for the same space on the disk

that could depend on the size of the page file, like how much memory is in the PC and if you left it to the default windows setting. I would delete the C path as a recording folder, or if its a large drive and you dont want to reformat and partition, move the page file to another drive, partition that drive to something like 5-10GB depending on how much memory you have, and rest partitioned for the video; just leave a fixed 50-50mb file on the c drive.

 

OR, make the page file on the c drive fixed.
