    Hikvision with GeoVision software

    Curious if you are planning on upgrading to GV-VMS from GV-NVR? Or, based on your experiences with GV-NVR, would you instead switch to a different solution?

    CMVision IR130 Power Transformer protection box

    I have a couple IR130 illuminators. http://www.cmvision.co/products/cmvision-cm-ir130-198-leds-300-400ft-long-range-ir-illuminator.html As this is a somewhat popular unit, I'm curious how most of you are protecting the power transformers that come with these units from rain and sun heat...

    New Lorex Thermal Cameras - any good?

    Anyone try these yet? Lorex just released a new line of thermal cameras that start out very low priced, and they have FLIR technology built in. $429 for a thermal camera would be a good price but I can't find any reviews or demo images...

    Cameras with Color IR

    Has anyone tried these Lorex color IR night vision cameras? (or other color night vision cams). Curious if color IR night vision works good or if it's a gimic of some kind? I usually just use regular IR. The video looks kinda like it could be a sham but who knows...

    Mounting IR illuminators to house lights

    Indeed, it would be easier to change the fixture somehow. But no 120v, in fact, I need to run a wire up the side of the house from the electrical outlet below it (I'd protect the wire so it's not exposed too much). So it's a straight shot from the outlet to the house light. (outlet has the...

    Mounting IR illuminators to house lights

    I was wondering if anyone knows of an elegant way to hang a pair of IR illuminators off of a typical house light like this one? Hopefully something better than the standard 2 rings connected to a platform type item like the one below. Or for that matter, has anyone ever hung an IR illuminator...

    XProtect Smart Client + GPU acceleration

    Yeah, it really depends what you are trying to accomplish. I'm not sure what most people are doing but presently I'm trying to get the best possible live view video on a 4k set so I have the main streams set for live view. I'm hoping to get a 4k cam soon to have a native 4k stream and when the...

    Tv as Monitor

    I have a Roku2 and it has a couple IP camera apps built in but they have many limitations (images versus full video which is a huge limitation) but for some people it's better than nothing. From within the Roku main application click Search Channels \ Scroll down and click Apps. From there you...

    XProtect Smart Client + GPU acceleration

    Indeed, on-board video is very low for power consumption. Sometimes it just doesn't have the performance though. Always a trade-off. I don't know how many 4k displays and 4k streams you would need to bog a 1070 or 1080 down, it would be fun to test out, especially for a video wall. I know that...

    XProtect Smart Client + GPU acceleration

    Holy Sh** Balls! I never thought I'd see the day when Geovision would pull one over on Xprotect, but apparently they have. In the GV-VMS update for Feb, they added Nvidia graphics cards for GPU decoding. That means if you have GV-VMS and happen to be able to pick up a brand new Nvidia GTX1070...

    IR Test for Windows

    I wish I didn't have the voices though. I will admit the voices take up a ton of my time, and time moves like spiders over the face of the clock. I over-analyze and overthink problems until I run out of time. It's a constant cycle that is difficult for me to break out of. I would agree that...

    IR Test for Windows

    Only the constantly closed blinds would suffer because I never look out of those windows or ever have them view-able from the outside in, otherwise strangers could see in my house. But also, there is no direct sunlight coming in those windows because of how the house is angled. I don't even...

    IR Test for Windows

    These windows don't open (just little rectangle windows in a kitchen nook). I also mounted the cameras in an extremely haphazard way, sort of temporary but sort of permanent until I find a better solution. So if I breath near the cams or even think too hard by them, the cams (connected to the...

    IR Test for Windows

    Anyone know of a simple tester that would test the amount of IR light a window blocks and provide that data in a readout of some kind, or percentage scale? Maybe something similar to what police use to determine how much light tinted vehicle windows allow through...

    Curious what people are using for PTZ joysticks for ip cameras.

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

    By any chance does flashing the Top-201 to the latest firmware change the telnet password for the port 9527 access? (I've seen this happen with other cameras where the manufactures do this for security reasons). Tried defaulting the accounts of the camera back and that works for the webUI but...

    Lowest Priced 4K 30fps Onvif IP Camera

    I've always wondered this same exact thing. Like if we set the throughput to the max if it would cause a cpu bottleneck on the cam cpu itself, or if the cam manufacturers would know to not allow a throughput that would cause cpu overload. Apparently some allow it it seems. I have 2 of my Hiks...

    TOP-201 Tiny IP Cam RTSP Connection Issues

    1. Use a different default RTSP port. I tried using port 555 instead of the default 554. No Change 2. Latest Firmware. No Change 3. Adjusting the frame rates, bit rates, constant versus vbr, etc. No Change 4. Iframe settings (2 through 12). No Change When the full 1 minute disconnect occurs...

    Lowest Price Dahua 4K PTZ IP Camera

    That is the sad truth. This industry needs a major disruption. I remember thinking that a GV-650 surveillance card would be outdated after a couple years. That little sucker lasted almost 10 years because the industry was so slow for the longest time. They even retrofitted that surveillance...

    TOP-201 Tiny IP Cam RTSP Connection Issues

    Thanks. I was seeing the UDP item from this link. Some users started getting solid connections when switching to UDP. http://www.bensoftware.com/forum/discussion/641/camera-loses-connection-and-reconnecting-every-minute/p1 It's a different cam and such but some people seemed to really think...
