GeoVision Vs. AVerMedia Surveillance Software Overview

There are several clear differences between the GeoVision and AVerMedia central monitoring software suites. Here are a few key points that will hopefully help you decide which system you would like to utilize for your next surveillance installation.

GeoVision Central Monitoring Station

There are also many more advanced options for fully utilizing the GeoVision software. The average user should have no difficulty using it for simple monitoring purposes, though. For more advanced applications, such as projecting different security cameras onto separate monitors, repairing archived video footage, having more control over your GeoVision DVR Cards, or integrating IP cameras into your existing system, the possibilities are numerous and span a much larger spectrum than I have time to detail here.

AVerMedia Central Monitoring Software

Like GeoVision, though, AVerMedia does have its drawbacks. You have to type in a password several times when you are accessing setup menus, minimizing or closing the software, etc. Also, some of the tweaks and tricks readily available in GeoVision’s software are not easily accessible in AVerMedia’s.

Depending on your level of technical sophistication, either of these products is perfect for the average user. AVerMedia may lean a little bit towards the novice, with a more user-friendly interface & non-proprietary equipment integration, but if you are a “techie,” or like to tinker, Geovision may be the better choice for you! Either solutions can and have been utilized in large scale projects, such as Las Vegas casinos, large police departments and universities.
