Why is the sound stopping (buffering) and starting again?
This occurs when the incoming audio stream is not sufficient to
supply your audio player with sufficient sound data. Either the
incoming sound stream is too low or the sound player is set too
high. Possible causes are:
- You have a modem internet connection and your sound player is set to
a DSL/cable connection. Reset your sound player to modem connection.
- You have a modem internet connection and you are viewing live video
and listening to live audio at the same time. This is most likely too
much for your modem. Stop the live video to get better live audio.
- If you have a DSL/cable connection try lowering the incoming data
rate setting on your sound media player.
How do I get live video? (The video is not working)
If you are using the LA TV webcam and there is no video then probably our server stopped unexpectedly.
Sorry. We are working on this issue.
Click on Click
to start on the Geovision webcam viewer. You need
a small ActiveX applet installed on your computer to view the streaming video image. If
you don't have it you will be prompted to download it. It is created by
GeoVision. Follow the simple instructions and once it is installed you will
be able to view streaming video. If the video still doesn't work you will
need to go to Windows Update and download the latest version of DirectX(9.0).
Microsoft DirectX download page
WinXP Service Pack 2 note:
To set up the GeoVision live video you may need to temporarily turn off the security feature in your web browser which blocks downloading ActiveX controls, which is now the default with Service Pack 2. In IE6.0 click on the Tools menu-->Internet Options-->Security-->Custom Level-->ActiveX controls and plug-ins-->Download unsigned ActiveX controls-->Enable-->OK-->Confirm changes,Yes-->OK. Then try to start the live video again and you should be prompted to download the GeoVision ActiveX control. Always give your permission to download GeoVision files if you are asked. You should restore the original settings in your web browser after you have the GeoVision ActiveX applet described above installed on your computer.
Windows Vista note:
The GeoVision webcam viewer does not seem to work with Windows Vista yet. We have spent hours with tech support
but have not found the answer yet.
JavaScript also needs to be enabled in your web browser. To turn on JavaScript in IE6.0 click on the Tools menu-->Internet Options-->Security-->Custom Level-->Scripting-->Active Scripting-->Enable-->OK-->Confirm changes, Yes-->OK.
Note that during peak viewing times
(morning Bhagavatam class) there may be a delay of up to one minute
before the video begins.
Why is the video jumpy? (Do devotees have mystic powers?)
Your video player is not getting a sufficient stream of data causing the
display to be jumpy due to infrequent updates. Possible causes are:
- You have a modem internet connection but you have selected the
DSL/cable viewer. Choose the modem viewer. (The type of viewer you have
selected is
displayed on the lower left side of the viewer.)
- You have a modem internet connection and you are simultaneously
listening to streaming audio. You may have to stop the live audio to
improve the
video display.
- Your current modem connection speed may not be at its maximum due to
unfavorable line conditions. Reconnect or try again later.
- A modem will most likely not be able to handle the 2 camera view very
well. Select the single camera viewer.
- You have a modem internet connection but your video media player is
set to DSL/cable connection. Reset your video media viewer to modem
connection.
- Our server may not be able to keep up with the higher than normal
demand during peak viewing times.

How do I move the camera around?
Geovision Camera #1 is a PTZ camera (Pan Tilt Zoom) which you can control by
first selecting camera #1 by clicking on the
CHOOSE CAMERA button and
then clicking on the PTZ camera control button on the webcam viewer.
Click on START CONTROL. You
will have 60 seconds to control the camera. Your remaining time is shown
in the upper right hand box. This box will also show you how much time
you will have to wait until it is your turn if someone else is using the
PTZ controls. You can move the camera Up, Down, Left and Right. Z+ and Z-
are for zooming in and out. F+ and F- are manual focus controls which
override the auto-focus feature and which should be avoided as they
almost always leave the camera out of focus.
The best way to move the camera around is to use the preset views found
in the dropdown box at the bottom of the PTZ Control.
Why is the camera out of focus?
Geovision Camera #1 is a PTZ camera (Pan Tilt Zoom) which you can control by
clicking on the PTZ camera control button on the webcam viewer. The
bottom two buttons F+ and F- control the manual focus. These buttons do not work
very well and almost always leave the camera out of focus. Try selecting
one of the preset views to bring the camera back into focus.
Why is the sound not in sync with the video?
The Geovision live audio is being broadcast by Shoutcast
software which delays the audio feed by approximately one minute due to
the buffering process.
How can I set up my own live streaming webcam?
The main thing you need is a high speed internet
connection and static IP address which is not cheap. You could try a
regular DSL connection but the number of simultaneous viewers and
listeners will be limited. Then you will need a fast computer,
digital video capture card and server software. We are using GeoVision
software and DVR card. See www.microsurveillance.com/dvrcards.htm for
some good information and tips.
Then you will need good quality high resolution digital cameras. For broadcasting
streaming audio we are using Shoutcast.com.
An alternative solution used by the Alachua, Florida temple uses an integrated camera and web server and is explained at http://www.krishna.com/alachua/webcam_how-to.html
We are using the services of Antardwip prabhu and Mayapur.TV to stream our live video to multiple simultaneous viewers. He is
willing to help any ISKCON temple set up the same system we use. Please feel free to contact him at Mayapur.tv
