Re: Fw: Adding CCTV

[Marc Fuller <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ROFL :D

I had a great backing from one of the Geovision Distributors here in the
UK.

I must admit, it taught me a hell of a lot. It was a steep learning
curve :D The options can get a little overwhelming, especially when you
start thinking about the interaction between multiple functions and how
they will effect the state of the system. Luckily I have Geovision at
home so I was able to test a lot of software configuration before we
sold it to the customer. I also made sure all I had a damn good play
with it all before we installed it!! It may sound silly but having boxes
and boxes of equipment at my desk, PTZ's, statics, servers, net I/o's,
GSM Gateways, cctv keyboards, panels etc etc... I was like a kid in a
candy store :D

Cheers

Marc
