RE: Geovision

Hi Paul, thanks for your help.

I have gigabytes of HDD space left over so it is not that.

What happened is all the cameras did record but only 1 had the guy on.
They are set up for motion record.

At the moment I have 6 recorded days but still setup for 5 days but have
got 2.5GB of HDD space left over so that could answer why more days.

None of the cameras record all day just on movement and some only
between certain times, i.e. at night for the Meerkat cages otherwise I
get hours and hours of Meerkats running around.

There are no masks on these cameras either.

I am not too sure about the sensitivity settings as I do not want to
stop the recording so as to check the settings.

Thanks again,

B.

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.

Paul.

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.
