Re: Geovision & HA

["Raymond Kelly" <ray@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was a user ~ 3 years ago. It was a bit rough around the edges then.
It has got progressively better and I now use the GV650 with the 7
series software. There is  actually a newer version 8 coming out soon
- so be careful that the GeoVision card supports verson 8 - not all do
apparently!!
I only use it for night time really and during the day my PC does
media and other stuff.
The thing that is missing is a User Forum for Geovision, as initially
there is a bewildering array of options and the documentation looks
like a direct translation from taiwanese!!

My observation is that along with CBus, Geovision is the other HA
product that always gets good press on this list.
