RE: Geovision & HA

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a GV-650 card 8 camera version with 5 attached cameras. 4
working for this test. The card is 100fps max and I also have the DSP card.

PC is P4 1.4GHz 768MB ram XP SP2

It makes a BIG difference if you have the Geovision s/w full screen showing
the cams. I just did a test with all 4 cams recording 'around the clock'
and got:

Full screen - DSP disabled - max 50% CPU
Full screen - DSP enabled - max 25% CPU

Minimised - CPU drops a fair bit further.

Don't know how having all 8 cams connected and either running 24/7
recording or motion detect with several cams in detect state would affect?

I do see regular 100% utilisation when performing remote maintenance and
doing other stuff on it - so probably a bit under spec.

I also don't do any audio recording - this would add a bit more CPU time.

curious to know what you setup is and what your pc runs at. I have a
gv750 (75fps from memory) running only 3 cameras 640x480 on a Pentium
1.8g  seems to run about 90%

capture machine would. That doesn't mean you can't run other things on it
depending on spare capacity - but this will depend on how stable a system
you want. I've not had a problem with it at all running on it's own.
