RE: Geovision & HA



Do you know if it's an official card or a copy - I presume it's a
copy?

Paul.

OK, yet another update.

I went out and bought a couple of cameras from Maplin since I couldn't find
the ones I originally bought!

As mentioned before, everything loads up fine in v.8.0, but now with the
cameras attached, the main camera feed screen will show a black display for
the attached cameras (before it just showed 'video lost' for all 16 since
n=
o
cameras were attached), then after about a minute it comes up saying 'video
lost'. I thought there was something wrong with the cameras, so changed
settings, cables, etc, still no success.

I uninstalled v.8.0 and put on v.7.05 loaded up perfectly and on the main
camera feeds screen the feeds from the attached cameras were showing up
perfectly.

I then reinstalled v.8.0, but still the same problem as above.

So maybe this indicates that v.8.0 will not run on an eBay sourced card,
bu=
t
I am going to try again on a different PC, fresh OS, etc.

When I got the card I never had any real intention of running v.8.0 on it,
so I personally have not lost out, I only paid just over =A3110 and that
wa=
s
shipped from the US, so I'm still happy.

Hope the above makes some sense.

Cool - who was the seller if you don't mind me asking? There are quite a
few.

Thanks
Chris
