Anyone had any problems running colour & mono cams on a GV-250 card.

When there is motion on the mono cam, the colour ones go all oversaturated and like there having an acid trip. As soon as the motion stops they return to normal. Tried 2 different bw cameras & both have the same affect on the colour ones. Tried moving channels around, still the same.

Weird??

Its not a power issue as they are all on their own psu`s.

Not used the card, but it sounds like a fault to me, can you not send it back?

Yes I can send it back, I was just wondering it this was a bit of an issue with these cards as I know they are a bit quirky about what PC hardware they like to get along with.

Fitted lots of Geo systems, many with mixed cameras, never had this problem.

The cards we used to use years ago would not allow mixing of cameras, suspect you have a hardware problem, graphics or similar.

Please post the computerspec & operating system etc.

Its a 2gig P4, 256MB ram, intel chipset motherboard(compaq), NVIDIA vante graphics. OS is XP prof SP2 & Direct X 9.0c. The only thing installed on the machine is the geovision software V7 as thats all it does.

I think the problem may be the graphics card.

Our IT tech is not in until tomorrow but I will quiz him on your spec then & post his ideas.

Baywatch.

BTW its a gv-250 4cam 16fps latest version card

Just answered my own question me thinks!

NVIDIA vanta cards are either 8 or 16MB.

Minimum spec is 32MB

Perhaps your guy could recommend a reliable cheapish replacement.

While you're at it, more RAM wouldn't go amiss.

Any video card would do really, as long as it's a reputable brand\correct spec etc... It's not a hugely demanding application. Critical choice of video gards come when you want to play games.

Was thinking it could probably do with some more.

I was under the impression that the geo software wasn`t too keen on cards other than nvidia ones?
