Our Surveillance Systems have been widely adopted in:

We have more advanced features than other DVRs in the market:

RECORDING:

• Choice of recording at 25, 30, 60, 120, 240, 480 fps
• Choice of recording includes round-the-clock, motion detection, alarm triggers and schedule mode
• Adjustable recording quality and frame rate by each camera
• Unattended and missing object detection
• Highlight the locations and send out alerts
• Windows Lockup: Launch GSS-desktop to lock up the Windows
• Support up to 1,000 accounts for logins and passwords
• Alarm on objects that pass between predefined regions
• Object tracking and zooming by PTZ domes
• Object index for a quick search in View Log
• E-Map with ease of use interface
• Synchronized audio and video
• Export of video footage within a specified period of time
• Multiple host connections with Remote Monitor
• Support multiple cameras from different hosts
• Object Counting: this feature allows you to count the number of objects passing through a predefined area by object size, direction of movement or detection area. Counted results are stored in the system log for future reference.
• Day-Night Recording Mode: This recording mode allows the use of different recording modes for the same area for up to 4 different time periods within a day. Recording may be set to either "motion detect" or "round-the-clock."
• Each CCTV camera can be individually configured: Video quality, alarm notification, mask areas, motion detection or continuous recording, motion detection sensitivity, compression mode (Geo MPEG4, MPEG4 or wavelet), smart recording, camera name, camera recording speed and brightness/contrast/hue/saturation may be set in the software for each camera
• Video Resolution: Camera images can be displayed and recorded with a choice of 640 x 40, 640 x 240, or 320 x 240 pixels. All camera images must run at the same resolution although these can be changed at any time.
• Display: Live video can be displayed in single camera, full screen format or in selectable multi-camera formats. Switch from a multi-screen format to single camera format, and back, by a single mouse click on the selected camera view.
• Motion Detection: When motion is detected in a camera field in an unmasked area, recording commences. Recordings are made in video clips which are date and time stamped in a log file. Log files can be stored locally or remotely over a network. The motion detection sensitivity of this software is one of the best available.
• Mask Function: Areas of camera fields, where motion is to be ignored, can be user defined (masked), for each camera. Multiple masked areas per camera are permitted. Areas inside a mask can be cleared.
• Smart Recording: Smart recording can be selected by each camera. This enables the full available recording speed to be allocated to the cameras that are actually recording at any given time.
• Digital Watermarking: Digital Watermarking can be selected for recordings. Any recorded video exported from the original hard drive recordings are thus ensured to be preserved intact. This is particularly important when video is to be used as evidence in court.
• Recording Playback: The log files of recorded video clips can be sorted and accessed by year/date/time. Video recordings can be played back while current recording is taking place (recording speeds will slow down). Recordings can be zoomed in/out and moved around the viewing area, during playback. Recordings can be played back at normal speeds, high speeds, slower speeds or frame by frame. Recordings can be played back by individual camera or by all cameras at a time. Switching from multi-camera to single-camera playback is as simple as clicking on an individual camera window while playback is in operation. Additional editing features are provided for image sharpening, exporting, adjusting brightness/contrast, and printing. Video clips can be exported as .avi files, playable in Microsoft™ media Player or similar. Individual frames can be exported in many file formats, including .jpg's. Exported video clips can have the date, time and camera name stamped on the video in a choice of colors.
• Communications: Remote communication is supported by dial-up server, web-cam server, TC/IP server and multicast server. All can be turned on or off with just one mouse click. Compression of transmitted images can be sent from remote systems as MPEG4 or JPEG independent of the recording compression of the host system. MPEG4 will provide much faster transmission. New Webcam software allows a maximum of up to 32 cameras which can be viewed on one screen from the same DVR or from multiple DVRs. Remote communications with Windows™CE equipped PDA's are now supported with G-View.
• Audio Recording: Up to four audio channels can be recorded with all GS-800 series-based security systems. Recorded audio can be played back in sync with single camera video playback. Live audio is not heard.
• Alarm Notification: A notification of motion detection and recording can be immediately sent to a remote telephone, pager or computer.
• Zoom in/Zoom out: Zoom any one camera in or out by mouse clicks live, or during playback, in single camera or multi-camera playback modes. Camera views outside the limits of the viewing window can be moved inside the viewing window to show any area within the camera range.

AUDIO OPTIONS:

• Support up to 16 channels of live audio streaming (optional)

Index Search Search based on certain criteria; e.g. "motion detection," or "alarm generated."
• New Webcam Multi-function Remote: More useful functions for management of multiple servers (DVRs) provided thorough a web-interfaced Webcam application.
• Dynamic DNS Support: A new Dynamic DNS service is offered by GeoVision to all V6.0 users. This service provides an easy to remember domain to quickly locate your DVRs with a changed dynamic IP address. By constantly updating the IP address of the DVR to the DNS server. Domain name registration is done in the new DDNS application.
• Storage Capacity: As available disk space runs out, the system will overwrite the video clips with the earliest dates. Recording can be specified for any single hard drive or for multiple drives.

SEARCH AND PLAYBACK:

• Object Search allows users to search specific objects or for motion changes within a defined area in a video footage
• Use Index Search to search and playback videos by motion/alarm triggers, and POS transaction events

System Log:

The System Log is a database of major operational changes. It allows searching by "Motion and Alarm Events," "General System Events," "User Login/Logout History," "Counter Results," (from Object Counting), and "POS Results." Events can be double clicked to play the associated video.
