Our company would like to add a 2nd system ata different location. For this system we need a 16 channel Geovision system. I heard that Geovision supports accessing multiple systems from one computer. Can you please let us know how this is done and if any additional software is required to do this?</p> <p><strong>CCTV Camera Pros response:</strong><br /> The software CD that is included with all Geovision DVR cards includes the Geovision Center V2 standard version which allows you to remotely connect to and monitor up to 5 Geovision systems and up to 80 channel / security cameras. So, there is no additional software purchase required to monitor up to 5 systems. If you ever expand beyond 5 systems or 80 cameras, you can upgrade to <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Geovision-Central-Monitoring-p/gv-center-v2.htm">Geovision Center V2 PRO - Professional Series</a>.</p> <p>Follow up question from customer:<br /> How many cameras can be displayed on one screen using the Center V2 software?</p> <p><strong>Response from CCTV Camera Pros:</strong></p> <p>The number of cameras that can be displayed by the Center V2 software depends on the video resolution on the monitor you are using.
