    Free VMS - 64 Channel

    Is the VMS version only available for the MAC? Don't see a VMS Windows version, only a CMS version for Windows.

    Anyone using PTZ joysticks?

    Are you building a Windows system? I'm curious if anyone has tried to use an XBOX controller for their PTZ cams or not. With NVR and VMS software like Milestone Xprotect, you can use a regular USB joystick. I currently am trying to get a Mayflash arcade stick (PC042) working with Xprotect but...

    Longse LBK60S200 with IMX323

    Good to see that this sensor (either one - 322/323) is being put to the test. The specs on it seem pretty amazing.

    Q's Cheap Camera Shootout

    Awesome IMX322, and more importantly, Awesome Zombie-Cat!!! Looks like it got a hold of some tainted utopium and Max Rager.

    Longse LBK60S200 with IMX323

    Curious if anyone has tried this camera yet? It has the IMX323 which from what I can tell is supposed to be a pretty good low light sensor...

    S800 vs S500

    How come the IMX290 performs better than the IMX322 in this test? Isn't the IMX322 supposed to be more sensitive to lower light? Could they have botched the test in this one or something? (maybe had some other setting turned off, etc.)

    Geovision GV-VMS versus Milestone Xprotect

    Curious which most people think is better and why.

    Anyone using PTZ joysticks?

    Curious what models people are using to control their PTZ cameras and if you are using USB input versus RS485, network control via CAT5/6, etc.. This Dahua joystick seems to have both RS485 and USB as well as network control but I can't tell if it works on other cameras besides Dahua's or not...

    Hikvision with GeoVision software

    Thanks. I tried this with no joy. Do you happen to recall the name of the person you talked to? Also, If you would have had only half the number of licenses to upgrade, would the price have been reduced by 50% even, or is there some other pricing model they are following?

    IMX178 Questions

    Are the cameras that utilize this sensor not using the full 3096x2080 resolution due to limitations of the SOC? For example the S500 variants seem to top out at only 2592*1944. If it would have been paired with a better SOC, would this camera have achieved the 3096x2080? The Hi3516A appears to...

    Lowest Price for Geovision GV-VMS upgrade from GV-NVR?

    Just curious what the lowest price per 3rd party cam is for this upgrade?

    Hikvision with GeoVision software

    So you actually paid Geovision and not your distributor for the upgrade conversion, is that correct? Whenever I ask Geo directly, they seem to not know about this upgrade for some reason. Odd. And was it $150 for 20 cams? If so that would be $7.5 per 3rd party cam, is that also correct?

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    I've done that. I also disable all devices that have a UPnP setting as an extra precaution. Must not be a separate UPnP setting on the TOP-201 I guess.

    Cheap 4K cams from Longse are here with IMX274

    Do you know when some other camera manufacturers besides Longse will start to use these same sensors?

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    Does anyone know how to disable UPnP on the TOP-201? I've looked under network services, etc. but I don't see a location where UPnP can be disabled. I thought maybe they just call it Cloud. Anyway, I have made sure the following has been disabled, curious if I missed anything or where that...

    Free VMS - 64 Channel

    Thanks for the confirmation about Herospeed. Are Milestone and Video Insight aware of the piracy? That seems like it would be an interesting interview to hold. It will be interesting to see how that turns out in the long run. It's a double bummer because Longse just announced (or released)...

    Geovision Upgrades GV-NVR to GV-VMS License Boggle - 3rd Party Cameras

    Currently running an Intel system (i7-6700k). I guess I've just become accustomed to ~30fps. I've went down to 15 and 20 before quite often but I always seem to come back to 30 fps for live view at least on the front cams. Geo hasn't always been the most efficient at coding though and that can...

    Geovision Upgrades GV-NVR to GV-VMS License Boggle - 3rd Party Cameras

    I only have 6 cams but planning to upgrade to 8. Some Hiks, Pannys, and dahua's, all 2 and 3MP. I usually shoot for near 30 fps but don't always get it. What really gets me to want GV-VMS is that it has support for Nvidia video card GPU decoding. GV-NVR does not. (NVR only supports Intel GPU...

    Geovision Upgrades GV-NVR to GV-VMS License Boggle - 3rd Party Cameras

    They are charging anywhere from $60 per cam to $100 per cam. I can get GV-NVR licenses as low as $45 per cam presently. I've been thinking of switching off Geo for a while. They always pull this crap with their dongles. I've been testing Xprotect and Blue Iris quite a bit lately. Occasionally...

    Geovision Upgrades GV-NVR to GV-VMS License Boggle - 3rd Party Cameras

    Contacted Geovision and they mentioned that if you purchase GV-VMS, you can't use the license to run GV-NVR, even though, GV-VMS is the upgraded version of GV-NVR. So, if you have some 3rd party cameras you want to purchase today, do you buy the GV-NVR licenses now and then pay again to upgrade...

    Is the QCN8026B (4MP Dahua rebadged) really this bad looking at night?

    Thanks. I see what happened. When I did the search, it caught the description in the video which mentions the QCN8026B. "This is camera model QCN8023B purchased in the 2015 Costco Q-See NVR kit. This camera is very similar to model QCN8026B." So, that's good I guess. And the compression that...

    Is the QCN8026B (4MP Dahua rebadged) really this bad looking at night?

    Keep reading about how 4mp cams don't look as good at night as certain 2mp and 3mp cams. Curious if this cam is really as bad as it looks at night in this video, or if maybe they had the sharpness turned down or something for this video. Any one own this came (or the Dahua equivalent)?

    Hikvision with GeoVision software

    A scheme is exactly what it is, because, this particular upgrade from GV-NVR to GV-VMS should be free or very close to free for what you get. Was your distributor pissed off because they wanted to make more money on the deal? When I checked with a distributor last week, they wanted $70 per...

    Hikvision with GeoVision software

    If it is $150 to convert a 20 channel unit, how much does it cost to convert a 4 channel dongle? (4 Channel GV-NVR dongle normally retails for $200, so if upgrading it costs $150, that would be nuts, hopefully there is a discount on the lower channel dongle conversions). And, how much to...
