Re: Re: Geovision and Idratek

[Kevin Hawkins <yahoogroupskh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If (as I understand from a previous post) GeoVision can re-present an
ordinary attached camera as an IP feed and Cortex can display these I
think I would recommend that route rather than trying to install drivers
, which runs the risk that the GeoVision app may lose it or not perform
as well as before.  Obvioulsy a driver based solution would be much
higher quality though.
