RE: Geovision

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The cameras that recorded nothing - do you mean that they didn't
record at all or they recorded but you couldn't make out the suspect?

If they didn't record - how have you set the recording up - are they set to
continuously record or record on motion detect only? If motion detect,
there are lots of settings that need checking such as sensitivity and
detect areas (masks).

Let us know how they are all set up.

As to the recording of 3/5 days - maybe there isn't enough HDD space to
record 5 days? How big is the CCTV drive? I believe Geovision frees up
blocks of space by deleting whole days when it gets to less than 500MB free
space. If you're recording 24/7 continuously on several cameras, you're
going to eat up space rapidly.

I have just watched a "hoodie" walk very suspiciously past my van
on the
camera that watches my front door.

When I check 2 other cameras which cover the same area but are zoomed
out a lot more I get nothing!

I also have a PTZ camera that I zoom into to cover my van when home and
that also has nothing!

I few weeks ago there was a van stolen from outside my house (ish) and
when the owners asked me to look at the cameras they had only recorded 3
days worth of movement despite being set for 5 days!

I am getting very untrusting of Geovision....

Could anyone shed some light on this?

At present the system has 6 days or recording and has 7GB of HDD space
remaining.....

The OS is W23 Server STD - SP1, P4 2.4GHz CPU, 2GB of RAM.

I have GV-650 with 12 cameras running and this server also runs an ACE
client.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

B.
