OK cool!

No problem and good spot on the change. Do you notice any major quality difference with enabling rtsp as it seems to disallow full D1 resolution. Cheers Ian

Hi there, Found in the manual: http://www.mysecurix.com/Front/support/down.html NOTE: You can access a remote DVR and monitor live video images using the media players like VLC Player supporting the RTSP service. Start the media player on your local PC and enter “rtsp://ID:Password@IP address:RTSP port number/‘channel number’”, or start Internet Explorer on your Blackberry or other mobile devices and enter “http://IP address: Webguard port number/”. Best regards Ian

I thought of a creative way of addressing this with a Raspberry Pi with a AV-in usb adapter and connecting to the video out of the SME4… not pretty but would serve a purpose. Anyone else sorted this or perhaps compromised on quality and used rtsp? Thanks

Hi all, Had a response from support@mysecurix.com - I asked: > Are there any firmware upgrades or planned features to: > > - enable RTSP when in Very High Quality mode? > - enable SSH/telnet > - enable the device to send snapshots > > Also are there any hidden URLs for last snapshot etc or the ability to > connect to the h.264 stream from ffmpeg/VLC etc without RTSP? Unfortunately the answer was No. Regards Ian

Hi all, Thought I would take the plunge and get a new DVR. I went for the Securix SME4 with 500GB HDD and 4 x 600 TVL cameras for c£300 from Ebuyer. http://www.mysecurix.com/Front/main/index.html http://idisglobal.com http://www.ebuyer.com/500318-securix-sme4-cctv-500gb-kit-comprising-a-4-channel-dvr-system-with-sme4-r30kit (Price risen to £317!) My findings: - One of the cameras doesn't work - I have 4 so I will return it for replacement - Good cable lengths although the cameras all come with individual power supplies - Silent operation - Picture quality is pretty good - No firmware upgrades available on their website - You cannot use RTSP (e.g. VLC) without reducing the overall quality - this opens port 554 - Like many of these units it only works with the Windows supplied software and IE7+ for "WebGuard" on 12088 - D1 resolution appears to be used for recording (Setting = Very High Quality) however their website suggests only CIF supported - then contradicts itself: - Initial setup with the remote view appeared really blocky but after changing the schedule recording and the general recording tab I improved this dramatically. - If you don't have dyndns then they provide their own - You can't email motion pics - only a link or push message- then you have to review the footage "D1 resolution support for clear recording and playback images" then "Recording Resolution CIF : 352x240 (N), 352x288 (P)" Pretty sure its D1 - however don't expect high frame rates at this resolution. If you own an Apple Mac I found you can get IDIS (the parent company) mguard in the Mac App Store which works! On my iPhone 5 the Securix Client works ok. Some questions if anyone knows: - Is there anyway to enable telnet or ssh? - Are there any hidden URL's for snapshots etc. I am pretty happy so far. Thanks all Ian

Yes go to the App Store on the Mac (OSX) and download Multiclient - it works a treat. Regards Ian

Useful link with some tips from Cnm: http://194.150.201.35/cnmsecure/support/4CamClassicKit.htm Sorry if this has already been posted. Cheers Ian

All, I finally managed to find a way to grab the H.264 streams from these DVRs for later conversion with ffmpeg for monitoring within Zoneminder etc. I wanted to do this so I could record remotely and capture jogs for snapshots. Daniel (Phoenix84 on Zoneminder forum) has done a great job with a C program that logs in and grabs the stream(s) with credit also to Robert Chou who allowed Daniel to reverse engineer the protocol in his Android app - IP Cam Viewer. Take a look here: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=72761&sid=8427236ea997782c26af725c6b017bd0#p72761 Example (-m 6 indicates Cnm device, -c is channel number) /opt/camera/zmodopipe -s mycamera.gotdns.com -p 9000 -m 6 -c 1 -c 2 -c 3 -c 4 -u admin -a mypass This creates 4 pipes in /tmp - called zmodo0,1,2,3 and from there you can use ffmpeg -i /tmp/zmodo0 capture1.mp4 to capture from the stream or ffmpeg -i /tmp/zmodo0 -f image2 -c:v mjpeg -ss 1 capture1.jpg ffmpeg takes a while before it gets to work but its worth the wait! Hope this helps someone and thanks again to Daniel for his speedy and reliable coding! Best regards Ian

Hi Liz, You need to connect to the CCTV box via Internet Explorer on your PC; login with the admin password (I think the default is 123456) and go to the setup page (along the top). From here go to Network and select Mobile Setting - Network to "3G" and leave the default port below it - this is the port you need in ASee - now click Apply. Now all this assumes you are connecting via WiFi at home - if you are connecting via the mobile network things get a bit more tricky as you have to setup your router for what is called port-forwarding and best to also use a service called Dynamic DNS so you don't have to remember your routers external IP address when you are out and about... but first things first - try it out from WiFi and I am sure someone with knowledge of your router can talk you through the next bit... Cheers Ian

I am not 100% sure about the sound output - I will check next time I visit my parents but thats a few weeks away... also bear in mind the driveway alerts are pretty loud... Another option is to use a low-powered PC and run some motion detection software on it - several options here like "motion" or "zoneminder" for Linux - Windows options also exist....

Sorry the Cnm unit I have doesn't have the motion sensor inputs either but it is 170 miles away at my parents so I can't be sure about the speaker - sorry If you want motion detection with sound when triggered have you considered a "driveway alert" solution? Basically a PIR with RF to a receiver unit with a siren / sounder - there are several available from around £20 - just do a google or ebay search for them. Cheers Ian

Hi, In my case: DDNS is off - I enable this on my router. Media is on 9000 Webport (HTTP) is on 8081 3G is on 00100 All are forwarded but I think only 100 is required for ASee. Can you try testing this from your own wifi network with a 192.168.0.x address - that would then rule out the Cnm box and point to your router? cheers Ian

Hi Al, OK a few things to check... On the router: Check the mobile port is forwarded (see below) Check dynamic dns is setup (required for remote viewing with a static dns name e.g. alhost.gotdns.com). Ensure the IP address is fixed for the Cnm - you need this for the port forwards to work correctly. On the Cnm: In network settings I choose: Mobile Setting: Network: 3G Mobile: 00100 (network port can be any number but keep it consistent below) Running ASee works with these settings. Server Info Name: [name].gotdns.com Address: [name].gotdns.com Port: 100 Account Info User ID: admin or user Password: admpw or userpw If you are using on your LAN (i.e. via your WiFi) then I know the Netgears sometimes don't like the dns name and prefer the internal IP address of 192.168.0.x where x is the DHCP assigned value. HTH Cheers Ian

All, I've still not worked out a way of seeing the streams outside of IE on PC/Mac... I am sure there is a way... any takers? @Gatd, thanks for the Asee tip - it is a much more stable viewer for iPod Touch/iPhone and so far hasn't expired.
