Lol yes I know Avigilon well. That's who spoiled my opinions of what a VMS UI should be

I'm too green with it to be able to pass a fair judgement. So far I agree with everything I've read about it though. The UI needs an overhaul. But to be fair, so do most software suites at an Enterprise level. Looking at you VMware, SolidWorks, Microsoft, Cisco, Iconics.. Theres so many features I can see how it would be a challenge to make easily digestible. However, there's crap scattered everywhere. Login into this browser page, open that app, go to this tab, no not that tab.. click that vague icon that doesn't remotley resemble anything it actually does. Its a learning curve. I just wish things were more unified. From what little I've scratched the surface, lots of potential. Lots of IT friendly security features and audit trails. Very powerful. Trunk slammers and home users need not apply.

Finally got what I needed on Friday. Just finished standing up a demo SC server with mobile service... Ya I can see what everyone was talking about with the UI.... Didn't have to call or email anyone though! Sales guy didn't think I could do it alone.

We have sensors. Analytics will be to fill in the gaps or in many cases create redundancy either as a backup or to verify issues and draw attention. Unfortunately I can't share many details at this time. Still trying to get a friggin license key! After many calls/ emails... Finally got regional reps name. I need to start playing in my lab asap. Very frustrating. Hello Alex. Hope all is well and you are keeping warm up there.

Water/ gas/ chemical/ oil, etc

Good info. I appreciate the detailed response! I'm assuming they are like other VMS solutions and have analytic plugin options. I'm specifically looking for leak detection. Any insight?

Long time no talk my dudes. I'm taking over a very large Genetec project soon. I'm booking classes to be certified but I wanted to check in and get some feedback. What have I gotten into? What are your experiences? Reliability? User friendlyness? Any quirks? I'm still waiting on an enterprise demo key since my morning request... So far I am not impressed with their sense of urgency! I tried calling them, left a message. Tried online chat, the lady said she would inquire about getting me a key and then disconnected the chat. Lol! Oh boy...

I forgot to mention they come with a lens. Tamron 1/3 2.4-6mm F/1.2 Aspherical with connector Mega Pixel compatible Vari-Focal

I've got a couple Avigilon 5.0MP-HD-DOME-DNs I used to use for demos that have been collecting dust on my shelves for a hand full of years now. Looking to make room. $200 each OBO

Update: used Acronis to backup working machine and restored to bad machine. So far working perfectly! We'll see how long this drive lasts... hopefully was a fluke. Thanks again!

Ahhh... Nice to know. I thought about that but worried about Windows activation. I have plenty of drives laying around so i should be good. I'll check with Western Digital or however it is... It may even be on warranty. Thanks so million!

not worth it for me. worst case I throw Ubuntu on it.

I bought a couple of these boxes to mess around with. One I've been using for my home nvr running Avigilon. The other had been sitting in my closet for about a year until I found a need for it. Just recently started using it and it's been running great for a few days until tonight. It's not wanting to boot to Windows anymore and says it's missing or has corrupt system files. Unfortunately these didn't come with any kind of repair disc. I tried making one with the good machine but it said it was missing the necessary files to make a repair disk. I've tried all kinds of things off Google... ugh. Any tips for somehow making or finding a repair disc?

Robert never responded... I thought he made one for Apple but couldn't find it. I found the Live Cam Pro and it did everything I needed it to. Thanks

I am looking for an equivalent to IP Cam Viewer for Android. I specifically need to view Axis cameras and control their i/o functions. IP Cam Viewer does everything I need... but so far everything I download for iPhone sucks.
