GeoVision CCTV DVR Servers

2011-03-05T14:24:00.004-05:00

GeoVision is popular among consumers due to its immense array of DVR and NVR products, but they also have a full line of servers as well. Each of GeoVision's servers is unique in different ways so if you are planning on getting one, it is important you know what they are, what they do and why a particular one may be better for you than another.

Tower Servers - Tower servers are an excellent office surveillance solution. They may be located anywhere on a local area network or stand alone. Tower servers are great replacements for existing low tech VHS systems and they also replace switches, multiplexers and recording devices in one self-contained unit. They also work with existing CCTV camera technology.

Cube Servers - Cube servers leave a very small carbon footprint and may be installed at a remote location. Multiple systems can be interconnected for use in large facilities and can connect to a switch or hub for total access. Cube servers may also be used for covert operations without a local keyboard or monitor.

VCR Replacement Servers - VCR replacement servers have the same footprint as a VCR when used in CCTV applications. These servers are good for general purpose office surveillance solutions and may be located anywhere on a local area network or stand alone.

Floor Mount Industrial Servers - These servers bolt to the floor, are difficult to steal, rugged for industrial applications, and good for construction trailers and other tough facilities. They also have filters on them in order to keep the server running in a dusty environment.

Tool Box Servers - These servers, like the floor mounted servers, are rugged for industrial applications, construction trailers or other tough facilities. They also have filters to keep the server running in a dusty environment. The only difference is that these servers are not mounted to the floor.

Rack Mount Servers - Rack mount servers are for server room-based surveillance and may be clustered or interconnected. Cabling options include cat-5 and coax with runs up to 2000 feet. Data can be stored on DVR Server Hard Drives, NAS Boxes or SANs.

If you have any questions about which server is right for you, how to acquire a server, how to get one set up or would like more information on each of the different server styles, then head on over to CameraSecurityNow.com. They are trusted and qualified GeoVision server technicians and are capable of handling any of your GeoVision Server needs.

GeoVision Secures Lufthansa Technik Philippines

2011-01-13T13:24:00.007-05:00

Installing security cameras can be easy, unless you have a particularly difficult situation or location. Lufthansa Technik Philippines, the large aircraft maintenance facility of Lufthansa, the German-based commercial aircraft enterprise, is one such situation. Installing a security camera system at this place is a challenge in every aspect of the installation including centralized management, bandwidth allocation and network control.

The hybrid DVR system from GeoVision addresses all of the challenges faced with installing at the Lufthansa Technik Philippines in a small package with its multiple compression and streaming capabilities. This GeoVision system hosts 128 newly purchased cameras as well as existing analog cameras and has megapixel cameras at key points. Each model of the CCTV system has to be able to function on its own, even if disconnected from the network, to work with the size and complexity of the LTP network.

Another thing is that, as the budget comes in two phases, the system must be scalable and modular in order for future camera expansion which could require an additional 300 cameras. According to A. Abalos, Security Manager for LTP, "The GeoVision system as designed and installed by ASIA Inc. is a powerful CCTV surveillance system that helps us protect our valuable personnel and assets. Its performance and scalability is a solution that is both cost effective and future proof."

Aside from meeting all the requirements for the project, GeoVision also offers centralized management via its CMS package. With the VSM (Vital Sign Monitor) application, both the camera and DVR status are displayed. This gives support personnel a detailed log for support analysis. With compressed video streams at the central monitoring station (CMS) application, the system is able to greatly reduce the load to the network while at the same time provide real-time data.

What many companies said couldn't be done, GeoVision managed to do, proving once again why they are among the leaders in the world of security and surveillance systems around the world.

GeoVision Central Monitoring Station

2011-01-01T11:49:00.006-05:00

A security camera system is only as good as the ability you have to monitor it. What good is catching a criminal or something else on a security camera if you can only see it from your house or from a recorded video AFTER it has already happened? What you need is the ability to remotely view your feed live from anywhere in the world, and GeoVision has just the solution for you.

GeoVision's Center V2 central monitoring station (CMS) can be viewed anywhere in the world as long as you have a viable internet connection. The V2 brings multiple GeoVision CCTV DVR Camera Server Systems together on a single, integrated interface. This gives the remote operator the ability to manage multiple GeoVision systems from a single point of control.

The fundamental function of the Center V2 is to attach video evidence with any and all alerts being sent to the Center V2. This gives the remote operator the ability to determine the nature of the alarm, dispatch help when needed and remotely record video evidence.

There are also a slew of great features that come along with the Central V2 including:

- Monitoring of up to 320 video channels
- Real-time audio monitoring
- Real-time I/O monitoring
- Two-way audio communication
- Remote PTZ control
- Remote I/O control
- Automatic live video pops up when subscriber site's motion detection or an alarm occurs
- Twin-view support allows video and event list to be displayed on two different display screens
- Supports 15, 24, 25 and 36 screen divisions per display

As far as event features go, the Central V2 displays seven categories of event messages including motion events, alarm events, subscriber login/logout history, connection status and a lot more. The "Bookmark" feature allows remote operators to highlight important events. Event list filters also help aid event searches.

Recording features allow you to auto record video events to a local hard disk, pre-alarm and post-alarm recording, receive video attachment along with each event and also gives you a hard disk drive recycle feature which allows non-stop recording.

With a duspatch server you can manage up to 500 Center V2 servers. You are also capable of providing services for up to 10,000 subscribers. Rounding it out is auto connection lost recovery and subscriber load balancing which distributes subscriber requests across a group of Center V2 Servers.

GeoVision Point of Sale Monitoring Can Save You Money

2010-12-17T09:09:00.005-05:00

Losses are something a company or business never wants to see, and while losses can be explained by any number of reasons, a big reason for some businesses is that employees are being dishonest. Your employees may be skimming off the register or taking things when left alone, knowing that you put your trust in them to be honest. So how do you fix something like this? You use GeoVision's Point of Sale Monitoring.

Losses due to point of sale transactions can be a main cause for shrinkage as well as a constant drain on your business' resources. GeoVision's POS-DVR surveillance solution can help employers deal with these situations and stop the losses before they become too much for the business to recover from.

The GeoVision data capture device can monitor your register or counter area and even adds a transactional text overlay from each and every connected POS device. This provides you with visual contextual awareness that helps reduce shrinkage and protect assets from losses.

When a GeoVision system works in conjunction with a GV-Data Capture device, the GV-Series surveillance system can turn into a POS/DVR surveillance system. This allows vital transactional Point of Sale data to the system.

With these tools your management can be more effective at monitoring and remotely monitoring cashier areas, associate POS transaction data with videos, record videos for retroactive analysis, search transaction data to visually verify accurate sales and even output alarms for emergency events.

Don't let yourself become a victim of poor management and internal theft. Keep a bird's eye view on all of your business' transactions with the GeoVision Point of Sales Integration.

Now you may be thinking "Gathering detail from a fish eye lens is impossible," but GeoVision has that covered. The GV-FE110 converts the hemispherical image of the fish eye lens into your standard, everyday rectilinear projection.

One of the best things about this new camera is that you can watch live feed as well as utilize functions like motion detection, privacy mask and alert notification through an easy to use web interface in your standard internet browser. Plus, all of this can be done without installing yet another piece of software.

In addition to that the GV-FE110 seamlessly integrates with the GV-System, which provides advanced monitoring and video management features. Here is a full list of the key features of the GV-FE110:

GeoVision G-View

2010-09-02T17:22:00.004-04:00

One of the best things about a security camera system is that you have full control over everything that has been recorded by the cameras.....as long as you are in the same room as the hardware the cameras are feeding to. But what about if you are away from home and you want to check the feed and see if everything is in order?

This may seem impossible but, thanks to GeoVision, it isn't. G-View is GeoVision CCTV in the palm of your hand through any PDA or smartphone. This CCTV DVR application expands the GeoVision network to handheld devices, including those from Dell, HP, Toshiba, Compaq and other manufacturers.

G-View allows GeoVision users to view video from any networked GV-system in real-time (yeah, you read that right, real-time) on any Windows CE-based PDA. Users can also switch to view different cameras and even perform PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) control or take a quick snapshot from the live video feed.

VIVOTEK Network Cameras Supported by GeoVision

2010-08-19T16:02:00.006-04:00

VIVOTEK, a prestigious leading manufacturer in the network video surveillance industry, has been around since 2000 and is always looking at new ways of expanding business. Well, not too long ago they found one of the best ways possible to expand their business by crafting an agreement with GeoVision, a leader in the DVR and NVR business.

With the two companies working together, GeoVision has integrated VIVOTEK's 7000 series and newer 8000 series H.264 network cameras with GeoVision's GV-NVR 8.3 IP software, one of the leading IP video management platforms available. This integration offers a powerful yet flexible solution to modern surveillance.

GeoVision's Pure IP Surveillance platform is a strong video management solution with full IP video management capabilities. The platform also has superior interoperability with surveillance systems that are already out. Another good thing about this system is that it is appropriate for as few as one camera or as many as thousands.

Users can control VIVOTEK Network cameras on a GeoVision platform, performing functions like video codec selection and PTZ. According to Owen Chan, Chairmen of VIVOTEK, "GeoVision plays a key role in IP video surveillance software. With this cooperation, we have seen a significant enhancement of our product competitiveness. The integration has opened up the potential to maximize each of our respective business to offer our customers a premium solution."

"We are pleased to add support for VIVOTEK's network cameras to GeoVision's offerings. Our software platform, integrated with the network cameras, is suitable for organizations of all sizes, making it possible to provide comprehensive solutions to a wide range of customers." according to CEO of GeoVision George Tai.

Needless to say there are definitely going to be some big things happening from this partnership between VIVOTEK and GeoVision.

GeoVision Turbo Mode

2010-01-14T09:25:00.000-05:00

GeoVision has been one of the leaders in the market of digital surveillance for many years and always seems to produce some great products and some great features that work to enhance the way we use digital surveillance systems. Features with GeoVision continuously strive to make digital surveillance better and better each day and that is exactly what the company's newest feature, Turbo Mode, tries to do as well.

What Turbo Mode does is that it allows recording at the highest speed that GV-Combo Card A, which includes GV-1120A, GV-1240A and GV-1480A, can provide at the VGA and D1 resolutions. This basically means that the Type A card can record more frame rate per second than the current GV Combo card. Turbo Mode is not compatible with current GV Combo D-Type cards. If you are going to be using Turbo Mode and you have this setup then you will have to replace your old GV Combo card with 2 Type A cards.

Here are the minimum system requirements you will need to meet in order to run Turbo Mode on one GV-1408A card: Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz CPU, 2 x 512 MB Dual Channels of RAM for Windows 2000 and XP operating systems or 2 x 1 GB Dual Channels of RAM for Windows Server 2003 and Vista, ATI Radeon X1300 PCI-E or NVIDIA n7300 PCI-E VGA and 320GB HDD. The minimum system requirements to run two GV-1408A cards is a Core i7-920 2.66GHz CPU, 2 x 1 GB Dual Channels of RAM for all operating systems, ATI Radeon X1300 PCI-E or NVIDIA GeForce 7300 PCI-E VGA and 750 GB HDD.

Turbo Mode is out now on GeoVision 8.3 but a lot of details about it are hard to find. But nevertheless it seems like it will greatly improve digital surveillance recording and, hopefully, help out a lot of companies and businesses that use GeoVision digital recording systems for their security needs.
