have you tried TCP/IP port filtering and stripping XP right down to barebones? As that then stops most of the normal threats since there is nothing really for one to get into and use. A real hacker can bypass most AVs out there today and thats the only ones that would get into any of my PCs. Once you have that network cable plugged in, thats all that matters.

Mine came with Linux also, wiped that off and loaded XP before I even had it out of the Box. (they didnt have any with XP preloaded back then, but still I would wipe it and do my own) Just to clarify, I had used several before I got my own so I knew I didnt want their modified linux OS on my PC.

Yep .. check out the eeeuser forum and you will find some software I wrote for it (XP forum section), just uploaded a USB Setup package also. Its surprisingly faster than my Athlon PC for many things including the 10 second boot time, but thats because I install a stripped down version of XP then tweak it like mad, and it has 2GB Ram. Ive used it already in the field to walk around and adjust cameras at one location, worked well

Yep, see my ISP's SMTP server, as well as Yahoo's SBC Global, and others, accept the sender name without a domain .. but it seems yours does not. That could be the issue, if AvTech are using it like I did in my software also. Its been a while since I messed with SMTP myself, so cant go into any real detail at this time. Maybe see if there is another SMTP server you could use, try it with that program and see if it works.

Ok just to verify, the Email field was an email address such as me@that.com. Message contained some text and the server was your SMTP server like SMTP.myisp.com

whoops .. ok use this one, this is the setup, seems you dont have the richtext control installed on your PC http://www.bahamassecurity.com/smtptest.asp

since jonnyb brought an old thread back to life ... I sold my 14.1" Core 2 Duo and now have an Eee PC 4G

Who's Andy?

The client has to be written to handle commands with the various types of SMTP servers, if its not then it wont work with all of them. Im not saying that is what is going on here, but it is possible. I recall a few threads like this about AvTech DVRs BTW. Try this from your PC on the same router http://www.bahamassecurity.com/uploads/smtpTest.exe Its a basic client, if it works then the AvTech should work. If not then like this program I wrote a long time ago, the DVR's email client might not be handling the commands properly.

i havent tried it, but theoretically it should work, as both USB IR Inputs should just work as multiple keyboards. Ive used it without loading any Geovision drivers before, and every button is seen as inputs from a keyboard.

Last I checked Gmail required authentication. At the least it uses different ports (SSL). If you use your ISP's SMTP server that should get around any Port 25 blocking. Try to telnet to the SMTP server you are using, the ISP's SMTP server. Telnet SMTP.myisp.com 25 If it comes back with a response then should be working ok. Avtech might not have support for your ISP's SMTP server though, as they can differ from one to the next and it depends on the clients being written properly to handle them all (client being the DVR software in this case).

Well you will need to goto someone's DVR to see that, dont know if they will let you though but you could ask someone in your area

Yeah cause most of the Honeywell video products (previously Ademco Video) are just re badged overpriced OEM products last time they came trying to sell it to us down here We use Ademco alarms .. ofcourse now Honeywell, if their compass software is any indication of their DVR software .. LOL again Though they inherited it .. they got the $$ to make some simple changes to bring it into the 20th century

Sorry but I have to LOL @ ADI and Honeywell

Seagate or Western Digital.

Or perhaps you are mistaking high bandwidth low quality set remote video for crisp high quality local recorded video. PS. if you can find an analog camera, please send us the link.

Thats just the remote video, the local video should be crisp. However its not my job so cant say for certain. Remote video on many stand alone DVRs are normally only around 320x240. They've probably lowered the quality alot also due to the high bandwidth requirement being its a public demo from Nuvico. PS. something terribly wrong with that front door camera

Since we have no TV news stations down here worth a ... anyway, some guy on the scene of a robber took this shaky video .. its our CNN Seriously .. our TV Stations (all 3 of them) are really lame .. so we do what we can .. (ps. I dont know the person that posted this)

Never used it, but GE has them also, they have various models: http://www.gesecurity.com/portal/site/GESecurity/menuitem.f76d98ccce4cabed5efa421766030730?selectedID=7391&seriesyn=true&seriesID=

I suggest they learn how to use the computer properly is all. I havent had any malware or viruses in 2 years, and even back then it was from testing unknown apps, as I still do till this day .. but there is a safe way to do it

CLIP FROM A LOCAL PAPER: A key witness from the Angelo "Nasty" Brennen murder trial in 2005 said he has taken legal action against the government, and is seeking to be compensated for what he called neglect under the watch of the Royal Bahamas Police Force. Leander Culmer, 33, has been in the witness protection programme since 2005 after he was called to testify in the trial. Police have him living at an undisclosed location in the country. Mr. Culmer said he was placed under police protection when he agreed to testify against Brennen, but soon after testifying, he was left to fend for himself. "I testified for the government. After testifying, I went back home and then I started getting death threats…I reported it to the authorities and they didn’t do anything about it, so I ended up getting shot, five times," he told The Bahama Journal. "Now I’m paralyzed from the waist down. I’ve been in the witness protection programme ever since." Brennen, 39, was convicted in November 2005 of shooting to death 34-year-old Ruthmae Pinder in October 2004. Brennen was later convicted of attempting to murder Ms. Pinder’s teenaged daughter, Calvonya Grant. Pinder and her two daughters were exiting a jitney on Farrington Road when Brennen approached and fired shots, according to evidence presented in the murder trial. Pinder was hit in the chest while her daughter, Calvonya Grant, who was 15 at the time, was hit in the thigh. Following her mother’s death, Grant was also a key witness in Brennen’s murder trial. She went to live with her grandmother, and was shot again and paralyzed. It was a case that made national headlines with then Prime Minister Perry Christie promising to get help for the girl abroad. The witness protection programme was established under the Christie administration after officials said cases of witness intimidation started to increase sharply. In particular, officials in the past administration had pointed to the shooting of Calvonya. According to Mr. Culmer’s attorney, Donna Dorsette-Major, the paraplegic lives in a three-bedroom apartment with another family of seven, including a mentally challenged teenager. She said the family isn’t very cordial and doesn’t share food. Ms. Dorsette-Major said up until a few weeks ago, Mr. Culmer’s wife and young daughter lived with him and his brother in that same apartment. She said the wife and child left because of the poor and cramped living conditions. "I need medical supplies every month. I need different medical supplies, and they [the police] were doing it for me," Mr. Culmer said. "Then, all of a sudden, since they heard that I’m putting a lawsuit on the Royal Bahamas Police Force, it’s like they switched. They don’t want to buy me medical supplies anymore, they don’t want to buy me any food anymore and they’re saying I have to get it the best way I can." According to his attorney, Mr. Culmer doesn’t have a nurse assigned to him. She said his brother works all day and isn’t able to give him the help he needs throughout the day. As a result, Mr. Culmer has developed infections and sores. "I don’t have any help. How it is, I can’t do anything, my people they can’t do anything, but it’s their [the police’s] responsibility?" he asked. "I was complaining for the past two weeks. I need to see the doctor. I’m [urinating] blood, plus I have a bedsore that’s spreading and I can’t take care of the bedsore myself." Mr. Culmer said all he wants is some kind of help. "The police, who have me in the witness protection programme, all of a sudden they just stop getting my supplies and getting my groceries. All of a sudden they just stopped, like from the ending part of December they just stopped," he claimed. "I’ve been struggling. My lawyer had to put her hand in her pocket to buy me things and she’s not supposed to be doing it, because the police force is supposed to be doing that. And the next thing about it is, they don’t want anyone to come see me." Ms. Dorsette-Major said it was already the police’s fault that her client was shot in the first place. She said had the police kept Mr. Culmer under their watch after he testified, the ordeal would never have happened. Ms. Dorsette Major said after writing to the attorney general’s office regarding the matter, but getting no results, she filed a writ on her client’s behalf, but for more than a year didn’t get a response. "Their delay makes me wonder what their true intention is. I say that to say, Mr. Culmer is not very well. I wouldn’t go as far as saying he is very sick," she told The Journal. "However, his condition deems him prone to infections, which has occurred on numerous occasions, and it was basically due to the lack of care he was receiving." Ms. Dorsette-Major said while she understands the witness protection programme in The Bahamas is fairly new, she believes it’s a disgrace that her client cannot receive the basic necessities for human survival. She showed The Bahama Journal the medical supplies she bought for her client with $500 of her own money. "I don’t understand why the powers that be are so inconsiderate. To me it’s almost inhumane," Ms. Dorsette-Major said. "These are some of the [reasons] why people hate to testify because it seems as if they use you, and then they throw you to the wolves so to speak." On Thursday, Mr. Culmer claimed his condition was getting worse and that he simply wanted to be taken to the hospital. Shortly after, The Bahama Journal contacted Assistant Superintendent of Police Bob Taylor, who is the officer-in-charge of the witness protection programme. ASP Taylor refused to comment on the matter, but revealed that he had just spoken to Mr. Culmer’s attorney regarding the matter. Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham publicly addressed the issue of witness intimidation twice this month, most recently when he spoke in the House of Assembly on February 13. "Apart from rising criminal activities it is unbelievable in The Bahamas the level of intimidation of witnesses that takes place by criminals in this society and the impact which such intimidation has on justice being served," Mr. Ingraham said. He indicated that it is astounding that The Bahamas has to hide witnesses and pay money to policemen to guard them so that criminals don’t kill them. "People who know about crime are oftentimes frightened to come forward because of the possible consequences for them," Mr. Ingraham said. "You cannot have a democracy without a legal and judicial system that’s effective, without people knowing that they’re going to get justice in a society. We cannot have a society where the thugs and the criminals are able to hold all of us hostage, and far, far too much of that is happening in this society." http://www.jonesbahamas.com/?c=45&a=16051

Has anyone ever seen one of these? Looking for something I can write software for using the current Windows based Language I use. Thanks Rory

Dont know about #1, but most have an SDK of some sort. Axis has theirs downloadable right on their site actually, just grab the ActiveX control.

yes the 2008 cards. In fact, the 250-800s on the manufacturer site lists them as stackable, so its just a limit in the drivers/software.
