DVSP8
IMPORTANT: DVSP8 and DVSP16 devices are not supported on Windows 10 and Windows 11 if the Secure Boot option is activated.
The DVSP8 driver can be selected in the G-Core installer. It is deselected by default. If you run the silent installer, you must start it with the command line parameter /AllowDVSP8 to install the DVSP8 driver.
If the Secure Boot option is activated on Windows 10 or Windows 11, the driver cannot be installed. If the Secure Boot option is activated on an already installed machine, the DVSP8 driver will not be loaded when Windows starts.
The switch driver for the internally installed network switch can also be selected in the installer. It is deselected by default.
For each channel there are three tabs for configuration in the plug-in dialog:
- General
- Picture control
- Audio

Temperature Monitoring
Clicking on Temperature XXX will open the associated dialog.
There, where you would normally see a camera image, you will see the current temperature.
Using a slider, you can set the Alarm Threshold. When the set temperature is reached an action is issued as a warning.
If you want, you can also specify the interval for messages (Notify Periodically Every ... Seconds).
Watchdog
Watchdog Power Good supports you with problems with redundant power supplies. Normally, you would not notice when one of the redundant power supplies fails, as the machine continues to run. In the worst case, both power supplies could fail.
Watchdog Power Good issues an action as notification once one of the redundant power supplies fails.
Alarm IO Display
In the alarm IO display, the current status of the digital IO contacts is presented.
