GEO-Vision DVRs

[Bob La Londe]

Ok... here we go again. The custoemr I was working on the Netpromax DVRs
for was so happy with how I got everything working now he wants me to set up
remote access on his Geo-Vision systems. He has 5 of them on two different
sites.

It looks like they are all GV-1000s running in Pentium 4 boxes. That means
if I understand correctly that they are running the version 6.05 software at
the most. I found the piece of software that looks like it has to run to
provide server service from the units. Seems pretty simple to setup, just
set the ports and access and turn on port forwarding at the router. (after
fixing the rest of how his network was set up wrong for this LOL)

When I looked for remote viewing software however I noticed that on
Geo-Visions website everything they showed was for Version 8.0. Anybody out
there who works with Geo-Vision stuff know if the remote viewer software for
boxes running older software is still available or if the viewer software
for the version 8 stuff will view ok with the older cards/software?

Use the webcam software for remote viewing, its much better than the remote
view software, the first time you connect to the machine remotely you will
be able to download the required browser plugin to the remote machine.

You may need to adjust the settings on the remote machine to allow the
unsigned active X from the host machine to download

Yes.

I I should be able to set the little server application up to run at boot
time on each of his Geo-Vision boxes, set it up, and then goto the remote
site and enter:

the.site.ip.addressort

in a browser window and be good to go?

Correct router configuration, ActiveX programs, etc not withstanding of
course.

The site has a static IP, but there are a couple machines so they will not
be connected directly to the modem. The local machine can have a local
assigned IP, but it can't have the public IP.

Port 80 is NOT open to prevent people from running a web server at the
location. Most non-standard ports are open.

So how do you connect to the machine from an offiste computer if it has to
use port 80?

In fact that sounds kinda stupid to me since port 80 is blocked by most ISPs
to prevent people from running a server out of their office and clogging up
the ISP.

Besides in the server application I looked at on the Geo boxes it showed a
manual port setting.

Bob,
The Geo WebServer can be set up to automatically start whenever the Geo
system is running (so your OK here). Also, the is a DNS application that
can also be set to start in a similiar fashion (after you register your name
with a free DNS service - if the Geo machine is NOT on a static IP address).

Then just open up IE and type in http:\\YOUR_NAME_HERE.COM and the Geo
application will come up in IE. You can remote view, remote play back or
even take remote desktop control (if password allow etc).

Port 80 needs to be open for veiw or playback to work. Hope this helps
some.

You can configure GeoVision web cam server to run on a different port beside
port 80. However, you need to specific the port number when using IE for
remote viewing. Hope this help.

Thanks. Now I just need to go play with them.
