How do I view remotely with your Digital Video Recorders and Geovision DVR Cards?

The Geovision software will allow you to do Live Remote Viewing. You need internet access at both locations. We recommend a high speed internet connection such as DSL or Cable. A static or dynamic internet protocol or (IP) address from your internet service provider is required. Our DVRs use IP addresses to get from one camera system to the next. You can either use the Internet Explorer Browser or our remote client software which is included with our DVRs and Geovision DVR Cards. Type in your IP address at the remote location to access the cameras and system. All software is included with our DVRs and Geovision kits and comes on the installation CD. No fee is required to run the remote access.

What is the maximum cable length I can run per camera?

What kind of connectors do your cameras use?

Our cameras all have BNC Male connectors for Video and 12VDC Male Connectors for Power. All of our cameras are designed to run on RG59 or RG6 coax cable. We also use Plug and Play Cables with BNC to RCA Converters. BNC to RCA adaptors are also available for plugging cameras into a single VCR or TV. Basically BNC and RCA are interchangeable with converters.

Are my current cameras and or system compatible with your hardware?

Provided that your system is CCTV capable and use BNC connections it will work. That is the nice thing about our equipment, it is interchangeable. If your camera operates off a power and BNC video connection, than you can use our equipment.
