I
have two computers. On the first computer with BT878 driver works
fine, but I can only get one video input to display correctly. I
think that these errors may be resulting from a low reserve of 64MB
of RAM.
|
|
A1:
|
Although
we recommend 128 MB RAM, 64 MB RAM is not the problem that will
generate those errors. If you can see only one camera, Please do the
following steps to troubleshoot...
1) Please
make sure you have 4 camera plugged into the 4 port BT878 capture
card.
2) Please run the Geo 4 Cam application.
3) Please select the video source from the "Preference
Button", Please select the COMPOSITE input then press OK |
|
|
Can
I record video on the second drive if the first one is not yet full?
|
|
A2: |
If
there are two disks you've selected to record the data, the first drives free
space should be less than 500MB, then the video will jump to the next one. If
the second doesn't exist, then the program will start to recycle in FIFO
(First In First Out) sequence.
