RE: Re: CCTV Server Hardware (again)

["Brian G. Reynolds" <brian.g.reynolds@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys, thanks for the reply's re my MV1000.

These geovision cards sound great but what does the DSP card do?

If I understand it correctly it boosts the fps? you mention 25fps, what
doe=
s that look like in the real world?

I do not mind paying for something if it is going to work, the trouble
with=
the MV1000 is it is so slow, I wait for it to do something only to find it=
has died.

Another thing that concerns me, maybe, is at the moment the MV1000 is
locat=
ed inside my workshop as the Meerkats have their nestbox and a cage in
ther=
e and as I use the CCTV for watching them I have the cables as short as
pos=
sible and only have 1 long run of CAT5e to my node0, if I create a PC as
th=
e Geovision box I would prefer it to be rack mounted in the node0 but it
wo=
uld be best left in the workshop and just use the existing cabling (8 x
CAT=
5).

Will my life ever be normal?

B.

Keyvan,

I'm running a 650 without the DSP card currently - I use the TV out of the
=
graphics card to distribute full screen camera montages around the house
TV=
's. This is pretty successful but it isn't 25fps per camera - only what
the=
geovision server software shows (8-10 fps per camera for me at the mo as I=
'm running 5 cameras). The DSP would give 25fps montage.

I mentioned this as it could be an acceptable solution for no extra cash :)

Mind you, I might go for the DSP card eventually anyway. Not sure if you
ca=
n set the display on it like the server i.e. configurable to show windows
c=
onfigurations such as 2x2, 4x4, one large top left with smaller around it
e=
tc

Paul.
