Hi. I am having trouble with email notification and NTP updates on my AVC791A . They worked for a while with 1043 but at now I get errors in the log saying Fail Can you please advise what changes/fixes there are in the latest firmware? are there any changes to the notification settings? Regards Allen.

Hi. I believe that earlier models of ACtech DVRs used to send an image or series of images. Also, Iv'e found that Avast Webshield is stopping video playback from working on my win7 pc. Posted on this thread http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=25600&p=157252#p157252 Do you know how to set avast to work with dvr playback other than disabling the web shield completely? Regards Allen.

Hi Roula, Are you working for AVtech, or doing the AVC KPD674 firmware updates as a hobby? Is there a change log anywhere that lists the changes or bug fixes in each version? One feature that would be really good to have is the option to attach the video clip or JPEG snapshot to the trigger email for motion trigger. This would ensure that if the DVR got stolen or damaged during the burglary that there would still be a copy of the video or a snapshot for evidence. Is there any chance of implementing this? Keep up the good work Regards Allen

I have had the same problem. IE8 on Windows 7 pro 64 bit. If you have Avast Virus checker try disabling the "Web shield". Playback of events works for me in IE8 now. I have posted on another thread on this forum asking how to put in an exclusion for Avast so that I can re-enable the web shield. no reply yet. http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=25600&p=157472&e=157472 I hope this helps. Regards Allen.

I have tried Google Chrome, but not Firefox. Chrome will show live video using "Quicktime" but has no option for playback of events. Yes. The old PC was using the same internet connection. yes the HDD is working well. I can playback triggered events directly on the DVR using the remote control. The various shield logs in Avast don't show that it is blocking anything but I tried temporarily disabling the Web shield in the Avast virus checker and playback of event recordings now works from internet explorer and the email notification. Do you know how I stop Avast from blocking the video playback? I have tried adding an exclusion for http://192.168.1.8/* but this didn't fix it I hope you can help with setting up an exclusion in the virus checker Also, It would have made more sense to me to have the motion triggered video attached to the email. Is there any way of doing this?

Hi. I'm new to this forum. I have the same problem as craigceg with my AVC791a. I can view live video and configure the DVR on IE8 on windows7 pro 64bit, but cannot playback any recorded events. It worked ok on my old XP PC when I click on the "Backup" tab I see a list of events and a black video window. If I choose an event and click play, I get no response or a message "Channel1: Playback failed" I believe I have the latest firmware installed (1043-1015-1019-1017) and the latest video viewer (0.1.7. installed which works OK There are some AVC DLL files in the sysWOW64 folder. AVC_AP_H264, AVC_AP_JPEG, AVC_AP_MPEG4, AVC_AP_SCALE. AVC_AX_742_H264, AVC_AX_742_JPEG, AVC_AX_742_LIVE, AVC_AX_742_PB, AVC_AX_742_RSTP, AVC_AX_742_SCALE, AVC_AX_742_VIEWER. AVC_H264, AVC_JPEG, AVC_LIVE, AVC_NATT, AVC_PB, AVC_RTSP Can anyone explain why the playback doesn't work from internet explorer? Which DLLs should I delete? The only AVC ActiveX control showing in Internet explorer is the one below. Should there be others? Name AMCCtrl Class Publisher (Not verified) AVTECH Status Enabled File date Friday, 12 November 2010, 4:52 p.m. Version 1.1.1.2 Also, I have a second problem. I have never been able to playback the video from an email notification on any PC. The email gets sent OK and has an HTML attachment of 7kB. opening the attachment brings up a black video window with playback controls. After entering the username and password and clicking play nothing happens. 7kB doesn't seem large enough to include any video file. I have tried changing the recording length up to 40 seconds but the html file is always 7kB. Any ideas how can I get this working? I hope someone can shed some light on these problems. Regards Allen.
