So i am using a surveillance program and card (geovision 2004) for medical studies to keep data of many things going on, only one input is a camera. all other inputs work and save fine. When i am trying to use the camera, it displays fine and while its recording it appears to be fine. When i then go to look at the Video Log (whats been saved) all the videos from the camera have about 1/4 of the screen filled with a green box that forces the rest of the acquired image down out of frame. There also seems to be a little bit of ghosting over it aswell. I am wondering what this may be, ive updated my video drivers, my direct X version and everything the FAQs say to try. Im at a loss at the moment and not a fan of the green box, any help would be great, thanks!
Hi,

Does your PC meet the required specs for the Geovision 2004 card?

Pentium 4-2.4C GHz with Hyper-Threading
2 x 512 MB Dual Channel
120 GB or above
ATI Radeon 9550 or above / NVIDIA 6200 or above

We have experinced similar problems with PC's with on board video cards.  Problem was solved when it was replaced with the reocomended card "ATI Radeon 9550 or above / NVIDIA 6200 or above"
right now i am unsure as to the graphics card, all other specifications are met, although im puzzled as to why it would appear fine (normal surveillance mode), but when i decide to go back and review whats been recorded, i then see the artifact, this leads me to believe it must be a setting in windows or the software, since the graphics card holds up in delivering the image clearly and crisply at first. am i wrong in this assumption?
