    If its already 6 years old, it might only last another year or two if you are lucky. I would look at investing in at least a new DVR.

    which one?

    @echo off echo SENDING COMMAND TO CAMERA ... Start /b /wait iexplore "http://root:password@192.168.1.12/cgi-bin/image_adjust?shutter=1_250" PING 1.1.1.1 -n 2 -w 1000 >NUL taskkill /f /im iexplore.exe exit

    Ok so it needs to send a user and password? try this, replace the line objHttp.Open "HEAD", pURL, False with objHttp.Open "HEAD", pURL, False, "root", "password" thats where root is the username and password is the password so it would be sURL = "http://192.168.1.12/cgi-bin/image_adjust?shutter=1_250" sRet = SendCommand(sURL) MsgBox sRet, vbOkOnly Function SendCommand(pURL) Dim objHttp, Status On Error Resume Next Set objHttp = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") objHttp.Open "HEAD", pURL, False, "root", "password" If Err = 0 Then objHttp.Send "" Status = objHttp.Status If Status <> 200 Then SendCommand = "RESPONSE ERROR - " & Status Else SendCommand = "Sent Ok" End If Else SendCommand = "Error!" & _ vbCrLf & Err.Description End If Set objHttp = Nothing End Function If that doesnt work try changing "HEAD" to "GET" Maybe that command doesnt work though. Try another one like bright=up I cant find shutter= in that PDF

    or using IE as Soundy mentioned. @echo off echo SENDING COMMAND TO CAMERA ... Start /b /wait iem.lnk "http://192.168.0.10/cgi-bin/image_adjust?shutter=1_250" PING 1.1.1.1 -n 2 -w 1000 >NUL taskkill /f /im iexplore.exe exit 1-create a shortcut to IE, set the run type to minimized, name it "iem" 2-create a new text file and paste the above code into it, save it as a .CMD file. 3-put both in the same path and run the .CMD file to send the command. It starts IE minimized and sends it to that URL. As IE doesnt exit after loading we run a short 2 second delay then force terminate it. The /wait is not really needed but I left it in. You may have to increase the delay depending on how long your camera takes to respond.

    or in a webpage ... if its on the same server (wont work in your case but putting it out there anyway) using jQuery Ajax <html> <head> <title>Send Command</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.2.js"></script> </head> <body> <span id="response">Sending command ... please wait</span> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"> var url = "http://192.168.0.10/cgi-bin/image_adjust" function sendcmd(cmd){ var jqxhr = $.ajax({ type: "HEAD", url: ""+url+"?"+cmd }) .success(function() { //alert("Sent Ok - "+jqxhr.status); document.getElementById("response").innerHTML = "Sent Ok - "+jqxhr.status; }) .error(function() { //alert("Send Error - "+jqxhr.status); document.getElementById("response").innerHTML = "Send Error - "+jqxhr.status; }) } $(window).load(function() { sendcmd("shutter=1_250"); }); </script> </body> </html> or just the basic IMG tag from a webpage located anywhere will send the request.

    I was not able to find it on my own on the Panasonic site or with google but Panasonic support helped me out: http://panasonic.net/pss/security/library/developer.html then download "New CGI Command Supported Models for V1.03 document". http://192.168.0.10/cgi-bin/ and "image_adjust?shutter=1_250" or "image_adjust?shutter=1_30" I have a PC and a mac available. Well a quick and dirty VBScript like this should do it - I dont know what kind of response codes the camera in question sends back but In this case im using 200 Okay response that it performed the action. In this example it sends a query to a webpage, and the webpage in question just updates a text file on the server with the time it was sent - just as a test. You would save this as a .VBS file, and remove the MsgBox line or comment it out for it to be silent. And change the sURL to your complete URL - this is a working example BTW, give it a try if you like. sURL = "http://bahamassecurity.com/test.asp?bright=up" sRet = SendCommand(sURL) MsgBox sRet, vbOkOnly Function SendCommand(pURL) Dim objHttp, Status On Error Resume Next Set objHttp = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") objHttp.Open "HEAD", pURL, False If Err = 0 Then objHttp.Send "" Status = objHttp.Status If Status <> 200 Then SendCommand = "RESPONSE ERROR - " & Status Else SendCommand = "Sent Ok" End If Else SendCommand = "Error!" & _ vbCrLf & Err.Description End If Set objHttp = Nothing End Function OR you can even make it a general script and use a CMD file to send your commands to it: SendCommand.vbs sURL = "http://bahamassecurity.com/test.asp?" & WScript.Arguments(0) sRet = SendCommand(sURL) MsgBox sRet, vbOkOnly Function SendCommand(pURL) Dim objHttp, Status On Error Resume Next Set objHttp = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") objHttp.Open "HEAD", pURL, False If Err = 0 Then objHttp.Send "" Status = objHttp.Status If Status <> 200 Then SendCommand = "RESPONSE ERROR - " & Status Else SendCommand = "Sent Ok" End If Else SendCommand = "Error!" & _ vbCrLf & Err.Description End If Set objHttp = Nothing End Function SendBrightUp.cmd @echo off echo SENDING BRIGHT UP TO CAMERA ... Start /b /wait SendCommand.vbs "bright=up" exit Here is the location of the test.txt file http://bahamassecurity.com/cache/test.txt And here is a list of common and not so common Response Codes. I left it out of the script in this case but it can easily be put in with one simple function 200 = OK 201 = CREATED 202 = ACCEPTED 203 = NON-AUTHORITATIVE INFORMATION 204 = NO CONTENT 205 = RESET CONTENT 206 = PARTIAL CONTENT 300 = MULTIPLE CHOICES 301 = MOVED PERMANENTLY 302 = FOUND 303 = SEE OTHER 304 = NOT MODIFIED 305 = USE PROXY 306 = UNUSED 307 = TEMPORARY REDIRECT 400 = BAD REQUEST 401 = NAUTHORIZED 402 = PAYMENT REQUIRED 403 = FORBIDDEN 404 = NOT FOUND 405 = METHOD NOT ALLOWED 406 = NOT ACCEPTABLE 407 = PROXY AUTHENTICATION REQUIRED 408 = REQUEST TIMEOUT 409 = CONFLICT 410 = GONE 411 = LENGTH REQUIRED 412 = PRECONDITION FAILED 413 = REQUEST ENTITY TOO LARGE 414 = REQUEST-URI TOO LONG 415 = UNSUPPORTED MEDIA TYPE 416 = REQUESTED RANGE NOT SATISFIABLE 417 = EXPECTATION FAILED 500 = INTERNAL SERVER ERROR 501 = NOT IMPLEMENTED 502 = BAD GATEWAY 503 = SERVICE UNAVAILABLE 504 = GATEWAY TIMEOUT 505 = HTTP VERSION NOT SUPPORTED 12000 = ERROR BASE 12001 = OUT OF HANDLES 12002 = TIMEOUT 12003 = EXTENDED ERROR 12004 = INTERNAL ERROR 12005 = INVALID URL 12006 = UNRECOGNIZED SCHEME 12007 = NAME NOT RESOLVED 12008 = PROTOCOL NOT FOUND 12009 = INVALID OPTION 12010 = BAD OPTION LENGTH 12011 = OPTION NOT SETTABLE 12012 = SHUTDOWN 12013 = INCORRECT USER NAME 12014 = INCORRECT PASSWORD 12015 = LOGIN FAILURE 12016 = INVALID OPERATION 12017 = OPERATION CANCELLED 12018 = INCORRECT HANDLE TYPE 12019 = INCORRECT HANDLE STATE 12020 = NOT PROXY REQUEST 12021 = REGISTRY VALUE NOT FOUND 12022 = BAD REGISTRY PARAMETER 12023 = NO DIRECT ACCESS 12024 = NO CONTEXT 12025 = NO CALLBACK 12026 = REQUEST PENDING 12027 = INCORRECT FORMAT 12028 = ITEM NOT FOUND 12029 = CANNOT CONNECT 12030 = CONNECTION ABORTED 12031 = CONNECTION RESET 12032 = FORCE RETRY 12033 = INVALID PROXY REQUEST 12034 = NEED UI 12036 = HANDLE EXISTS 12037 = SEC CERT DATE INVALID 12038 = SEC CERT CN INVALID 12039 = HTTP TO HTTPS ON REDIR 12040 = HTTPS TO HTTP ON REDIR 12041 = MIXED SECURITY 12042 = CHG POST IS NON SECURE 12043 = POST IS NON SECURE 12044 = CLIENT AUTH CERT NEEDED 12045 = INVALID CA 12046 = CLIENT AUTH NOT SETUP 12047 = ASYNC THREAD FAILED 12048 = REDIRECT SCHEME CHANGE 12049 = DIALOG PENDING 12050 = RETRY DIALOG 12052 = HTTPS HTTP SUBMIT REDIR 12053 = INSERT CDROM 12054 = FORTEZZA LOGIN NEEDED 12055 = SEC CERT ERRORS 12056 = SEC CERT NO REV 12057 = SEC CERT REV FAILED 12152 = ERROR HTTP INVALID SERVER RESPONSE 12157 = SECURITY CHANNEL ERROR 12158 = UNABLE TO CACHE FILE 12159 = TCPIP NOT INSTALLED 12163 = DISCONNECTED 12164 = SERVER UNREACHABLE 12165 = PROXY SERVER UNREACHABLE 12166 = BAD AUTO PROXY SCRIPT 12167 = UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD SCRIPT 12169 = SEC INVALID CERT 12170 = SEC CERT REVOKED

    Looking for the best .. literally. Tried the cheaper more simple route using RG59 but the 40-50" Toshiba LCD TV's composite input is poor quality even on a monitor right at the DVR, and the 16 way multiview is blurrier than the 9 way from the DVR's composite output - no quality issues using HDMI or VGA from the DVR to a 42" Toshiba right at the DVR in any multiview. SO ... I have the choice of VGA or HDMI - HDMI output is currently free, VGA goes into a 22" LCD next to the DVR. I figure I would need an HDMI splitter and then some kind of HDMI over cat5. The distances range from 50 feet to 200 feet, will be at least 4 TVs. Having never done this before and there being tons of choices for HDMI over cat5, looking to see what anyone else has used in the past at similar distances. Other thoughts were small mini PCs running the CMS with an IR Remote customized to switch views etc. Though not sure if they are willing to have the extra PCs at each TV while there is already tons of other equipment, plus there is the bandwidth issue of having 4 PCs always streaming (client might not want to wait for it to come out of sleep mode for example). Thanks

    I think only Dahua IP cameras work with PSS, as only Dahua DVRs do. Linovision NVR+ supportS Dahua IP cameras and DVRs, as well as Axis and Vivotek. http://www.linovision.com/en/featuredsoftware/nvr

    Why aren't there any 1080P DVR's yet?

    rory replied to blackjackel's topic in General Digital Discussion

    No idea. Can 960×576 travel along RG59? Personally I would wait for someone else to test it out and post the results before buying it.

    rory replied to blackjackel's topic in General Digital Discussion

    I agree, once you get over 960H probably be best to go IP at that point. Eg 960H Effio DVR 960×576 Support 8 SATA HDDs up to 24TB, 1 eSATA up to 12TB, 3 USB2.0 http://www.dahuasecurity.com/product_det.aspx?ID=903&p=cpyzc&p_kind=3&c_kind=262&c_kind2=&c_kind3= no idea on the price though, and Ive not used an Effio camera.

    Glad you like it Jason. Still working out some bugs though before I release this update. Most of the bugs take place when run under Win7. Others are a direct result of the API itself. Will eventually get around them.

    Many would say the same about the iPhone ps. personally i never heard of lupus, but it sounds like a medical disease.
  15. rory
    Ive used WD blue, green and black without issue.
  16. rory
    Since it works from a PC then the router is configured properly. Its something to do with the iphone app you are using.
  17. rory
    I used both IPs, the makers (lupus) and his (lunaeyes), both worked, but he says it does work for him on a PC but not on a mobile phone. They both have different icons so I imagine its a different firmware if not a different DVR.
  18. rory
    I have neither so cant test that. But the icons are different so its obviously different firmware.

    EX82 was the best day night product they had and they killed it (although over the years it had some quality control issues, primarily the photocell switchover), in fact they killed all the old Extreme Dual CCD cameras - instead of just updating what is still the best option for a day night app. Junk is anything that is a single camera trying to replace a dual camera for day night apps, offering ONLY a 5-50mm lens preset to 50mm, and charging much more for it. OK I guess the word junk is a little harsh in this case, because its still a great product. Granted I can partially understand the need for a new internal design and they added some features that can make it a little easier to adjust, but the whole dual camera concept should have remained. And switching from something like the EX82 or even the EX30 to something the size of the VEI30, its just ridiculous. There just isnt any sane reason that the VEI had to be so huge, especially now as it only had 1 camera! I have EX82s and EX30s all over these poles, but this new VEI will never fit, and its way too heavy. BTW the camera in the EX30 sucked big time, no wonder that was discontinued, but I doubt it had anything to do with that, moreso with getting rid of the entire extreme design for something completely different. The bottom line is clear though, when you put the image in the day or in the night from the EX82 against the EX30 or now the VEI30, the EX82 wins (supposing they are all new) - except as mentioned the VIE30 has more IR. In addition to all that, they also killed the EX26LED - that thing is awesome, I have one here and there is no other like it for short to mid range IR - a pity really. The UF500 was also great except the $80 bulb had to be replaced every couple years. Another one is the EX12LED, overpriced IMO but I installed one 8 years or so ago and it still works to this day. Only good for very small areas though. Just my opinion - I used this gear from 2001.

    also if it has an activeX for IE, it might contain some commands in that, if so then can download that separately, stick it in a webpage on your desktop, save it as an HTA so the scheduler can run that, and in the HTA send the commands using client side VBScript.
  21. rory
    Okay I went to http://lupus.dvrdns.org:10001 in IE8, logged in with test test, and used IE link and installed ActiveX and it crashed, but closed it and reopened and it connected and I could move the indoor PTZ around. I also downloaded the remote desktop app and logged in with the same user and was able to move the PTZ around. NEXT I went to http://lunaeyes.dvrdns.org:10001 in IE8 and logged in with temp temp, and the activeX was already installed, but the PTZ Icon was different and I think it was a different language - but I was able to take control and move the outdoor PTZ around. I only saw 1 camera though, maybe the bandwidth is low. So it works for me
  22. rory
    so over the internet you CAN move them, but in front of the DVR you CANT move them?

    Ding sound every second or 2... help!

    rory replied to drnick's topic in Geovision

    that works too ... "Disable Video Lost Beep" is the other place to go to stop the beep, but its best just to disable the camera as you did.
  24. rory
    Sounds like a command/control port is not open in the router.
  25. rory
    The program is the part I don't know how to do. depends, might be as easy as command line program eg. .cmd
