mfennell 0 Posted August 15, 2007 At ISC West this year, I was told that in quarter two. Geo was going to be supporting IP Cameras. Does anyone know if they do now? And if they do, is there a list of supported cameras? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kao 0 Posted August 15, 2007 One of my suppliers said they are testing a version now that supports a fair number of IP cameras. I'm not convinced he was given accurate info, but that is what he said. When I spoke with Geo at ISC West, they told me the same thing about quarter two. They also said it would just be Axis cameras and possibly another large name or two in the IP camera industry. I hope we dont have to wait much longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfennell 0 Posted August 16, 2007 yeah, this waiting is killing me. They are loosing our business at this point because we are installing mostly IP systems now. I hope they get it together pretty soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tpolus 0 Posted August 16, 2007 probably just be Acti .. Taiwanese .. Nope, I asked them to support ACTi cameras - they rejected. They will support Axis, IQinVision, Sony, Mobotix, Panasonic. Here is the list of beta tested models: AXIS_206 AXIS_207MW AXIS_207/AXIS_207W AXIS_210 AXIS_211 AXIS_211A AXIS_212 AXIS_213 AXIS_214 AXIS_216FD/AXIS_216FDV AXIS_221 AXIS_223M AXIS_225 AXIS_231D AXIS_232D SONY_SNC_CS10 SONY_SNC_CS11 SONY_SNC_CS50N SONY_SNC_DF40N SONY_SNC_DF50N SONY_SNC_DF70N SONY_SNC_DF80N SONY_SNC_P1 SONY_SNC_P5 SONY_SNC_RZ25N SONY_SNC_RZ50N SONY_SNC_RX550N IQEye_301 IQEye_302 IQEye_510 IQEye_511 IQEye_701 IQEye_702 Panasonic_BB_HCE481A Panasonic_BB_HCM110 Panasonic_BB_HCM311 Panasonic_BB_HCM331 Panasonic_BB_HCM371 Panasonic_BB_HCM381 Panasonic_BB_HCM403 Panasonic_BL Mobotix_M12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted August 16, 2007 Darn, seems they are spending the $$ there for testing .. those cameras arent cheap Pity about Acti, maybe its a competition thing with them or something? Rory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfennell 0 Posted August 17, 2007 Acti and Arecont would be great additions to that list.... at least for me I'm sure they will eventually add more.. hopefully Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

a94cobra 0 Posted September 5, 2007 So I can't just buy any o IP camera and get it working with the Geo 8.12? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted September 5, 2007 Far as I know only their video server is supported. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a94cobra 0 Posted September 5, 2007 With the Geo Video server, you can add two cameras. Does it have a cat5 on the back, and two USB? Couldn't see the back in pictures. If so, you still have to run cat5 to the network or add a USB wireless adapter. Does any USB adapter work? Also if using this standalone, you could add a USB HDD for storage? And even use this by itself as it has a web server built-in? What am I misreading here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It also have 2 USB ports, but if it will work with wireless USB adapters I am not sure, but think so -just a config challenge I think. Yes it is made for having a external USB HDD for local storage, the HDD must be formated to LINUX so you can not just use it with for instance Windows. In other words the USB HDD will be "locked" to the GV WEB SERVER or another Linux system. JD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 5, 2007 Have you set one of these up? Got some tips on what to get? Hi! Yes I have set these up, but not with WLAN, only cable. Guess a standard USB Wlan would do also you would need a crssover cable for seting the unit up. JD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geovision recommends using Ext2IFS for Windows: http://www.fs-driver.org/ and it really works, but you need to hit "Remove" button before disconnecting USB HDD from video server. Otherwise it will dismount improperly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what the interface is? Hi again, hehe Yes it is a very easy straight forward set up in the Geovision software, you have the under the Camera/Audio install button a link called IP camera install, where you do add and give the IP Camera(Server, guess this will be used for IP camera as well alter) name/user/password for login, and where you want the camera to be situated on your Geovision. Yes it is web interface on the setup and use of the GV Web Server. JD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I must say that I am not happy with starting to mix Windows and Linux, we can say that, it is ok for someone with a larger PC/Linux understanding but not all installers/end users have this, so therefore it is "locked" for those who dont know!
