    I thought the city was just being nice so I could back the work van out as I have no side windows. To think that I was the "MAN" in my hometown! From what you say, then I am going to have to watch out for "THE MAN"! LOL! I was just getting ready to install an X10 wireless controller in the traffic light box so that I could push a button when I am ready to back out, and the light would change automatically just like the firestation!

    Standards

    I think the customer sets the standards at a starting point. Wall Mart exist for a reason, yet at the same time there is a group of people who shop at high end electronic stores for products that are unavailable at Wall Mart, but then again there are those that are classified as high end customers due to their high income level yet they buy large screen LCD at Wall Mart. I bet that answered your question! No? Good! I am confused too! Standards count. Why are the big three automotive manufactures suffering excluding the economy? The overseas manufactures do not seem to be having half as much of a problem as the U.S. Then again does not Toyota, Nissan, and other foreign manufactures have plants here in the USA? Marketing sells standards. "Why buy a car that compares to a Camary when you can buy a Camary"? Product price range sets the standard or the lack of it as you try to stay cheap. You cannot use a $10.00 toaster to operate a bagel shop, but then again who is going to spend $800.00 for a high speed stainless steel toaster for their home?

    If the GPRS/3G did not work then I do not know what to tell you as I do not specialize in this area. I do not know what IBM software you are using, but I am surprised that it is working as you say. What kind of emulator, and where can is find the source?

    pda with eagleeyes (winCE) problems

    I was hoping that taking you off of port 80 would solve that issue. Other than that I have no clue. I do not set many DVRs with cellphone view. I wish that I could do more so that I could test the various issues. What happens when you use GPRS/3G???
  13. We tried to talk you in to alternatives! How would you like to be the guy who built by hand all of the computers and circuits that went in to the apollo space craft! Yikes! That is a lot of twist on connections, and def not a weekend project!! What the heck do you do for a living to be working 24/7??

    AVC767D "Get config Error"

    CTMK Have you tried changing out the router with a different one? Question? Are you switching from lan to wan while sitting in the same chair? Do you use the Lan at the DVR site, and use the WAN at a different location? If you were in the same chair then there is no way that you can go out on the internet and try to come back in on the WAN. You can switch your computer to wireless, and use an unencrypted router close by, or if you have a cellular connection then you can use the wan. As for your problem it sounds strange indeed. I have not been able to recreate this situation with a DVR, so I am useless. This does not effect you, but for others who may not be able to access server settings using the replacement from Video Server E to the new one called Video Viewer. Check the DVR settings. If you need to contol the DVR remotely then you will have to give your self a higher user level. Guest level might work on some DVRs and all other levels will lock out server settings except the highest level. This is for AVC 760 AVC 760A Eclipse Max 4 Pro Nubix ST
  18. What is going through my mind? Adrenaline! Those "thought juices" that flow when you are in that state of creating, or problem solving, and staring at a pile of data sheets!! I apologize for how this is written. I know you are extremely technical, but I have tried to make this simple for someone who would like to enter the world of electronics. People are brought to this forum from google searches, and I typed this up with them in mind as they "land" here. This will allow each individual to work at their own skill level. You can buy a breadboard. This will allow you to put parts together to make a project so that you do not have to solder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadboard You can solder if you have the skill, or if you wish to learn. http://www.aaroncake.net/electronics/solder.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dkragEKSKI For those of you who do not know how to solder but want to make the project more permanent then you can learn to wire wrap. http://www.me.umn.edu/courses/me2011/robot/wrap/wrap.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_wrap No matter how you build it use sockets for the IC. You can reuse the chips later for other projects, or for simple repairs, and redesign. Project X Budget is economical. Must be easy to build. Must be easy to maintain. Must be assembled off of easy to obtain parts. Must not draw a lot of energy. I do not have a design, or a schematic off the top of my head. The first thing that comes to mind are the 74 series of IC chips. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7400_series http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_7400_series_integrated_circuits http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/logicsim/man/node5.html http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/components/74series.htm http://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/showthread.php?t=10655 http://www.google.com/search?q=clock+made+with+74+series+ic+chips&rls=com.microsoft:*&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1 Resistor color code converter http://www.ese.upenn.edu/rca/calcjs.html These are readily available at Radio Shack and other fine electronics stores, and online electronics parts supply. You can connect a batch of 74 series IC chips to make a clock with timing circuits using 555 ic chips. The circuit has a data path that connect to various chips to perform a task. At the end of this path is a driver chip that can light up the old red LED numbers that we have all seen. The LED numbers will draw more then LCD displays, but then you can have a camera trained on it. The circuit will be a dual circuit. Two temp circuits. One for outside, and one for inside. You can have two sets of LED numbers side by side. The camera can "watch" the LEDs, and by remote view you can see the indoor temp, and the outdoor temp. The amount of money spent can also include a nice cabinet to put the circuits in to, and you can buy cheap switches, or use what is in your garage "treasure pile" (as you know you will need it someday and that is why we did not throw it away bin), or you can buy the finest in switches, and panel lights. Panel lights. 1 Green Power on 2 Red Over limit / under limit lights Switches 1 ON / Off 2 Possible reset switch to display a capture of the highest reading or the lowest reading. Power supply. External: wall wart (junk pile) Internal: Dependant of the chip sets selected. Hint: Overbuild a power supply with a full wave bridge rectifier, and voltage regulator, and a variable voltage setting, and put it on its own board. You can salavage this later for other projects in the future, or as you upgrade this project it can handle more circuits. http://scorpiontheater.com/electronics.aspx http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/electronic/rectbr.html http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/electronic/rectct.html#c3 Those that wish to take the project to the next level can add chips to the data path that will allow you to perform other tasks with this temperature circuit. Do you want to add serial communication so that it can talk to a computer? Do you want to add an rf transmitter for remote displays? OK! Now for the fun! Think of how you want this project to work for you. Each part of the design is going to be its own circuit. A series of blocks if you could say. A bunch of blocks are assembled together to create one big system. Now you can change the system as you go. All you have to do is remove one block to make it more technical, or you can make it more simple based on each individual block. With 7400 series chip sets you will find that each IC chip is a "block". You can add a block to the data path to do more with your project by adding an IC chip. Look for an IC chip that does what you need it to do. There will be a pin out of the IC chip to show you the input pins, and the output pins. This will also show you the + power, and the ground pins. Sometimes looking at the data sheet of an IC will show you the next IC chip in line to create a sample circuit. Look up the data sheet of the that IC to see if it works in your circuit. If you want to make a "traditional" electronic thermometer then use dot bar displays. Similiar to the VU meters on stereo equipment. Dot bars will allow you to watch the temp rise, and fall similiar to the mercury therometer. _____________________________________________________________ Warning: HIGH LEVEL OF TECHNICAL SKILL PAST THIS POINT!

  19. Do you have an eprom burner?
  20. There is a lot of practicality from an a designer / installer point of view. I am thinking of all of the McDonalds, BK, Wendy's, Subways, Chili's, Denny's ect. ect. ect. that need video surveillance, and need to monitor all of the walk in coolers, walk in freezers, prep cooler, cook cooler, salad cooler, sandwich bain marie, and drink refridgerators that can cause a health inspection report failure due to temps being out of range. Here in Florida the Sub shop industry has the hardest time with meeting this standard. Look at a sub shop where all of the ingredients are stored in an open air containers. A thermometer has to be stuck in to the food, and the temp range should come close to the 40 degree mark. At the top of the food during none rush the temps can rise to above 45 degrees, and temps taken at the bottom of the container can reach freezing. In the old days the thermoter was put in to the storage area under the food, and you had to meet temp there. Now the food at the top is measured above rather than down in the refriderated area. There was a wide flurry of equipment that was on sale at local used restaurant suppliers, classified ads, and on ebay. This equipment could not meet the new specs. The big guns with the big money could afford to retro fit new compressors in to old equipment, or to buy outright new equipment. Can you imagine coming back from on a Friday when a freezer died on Wed night when you left midday for the holiday?? How much does the meat in your home freezer add up to then imagine a large size restaurant. Does this have merit? Yes! I do think so. There are alot of temp equipment that can be tied to alarm systems, and that is what is mostly used. I think a multi store / restaurant owner would love to do a "walking tour" of all of his restaurants, and to actually see the real temp of every device via IP. If there was a food borne illness a restaurant's main office can lower their risks by documenting temps from a central location. If a temp is close to being out of range then an in house tech could be sent right away before it can become a problem. In a court situation they could prove that they were not "negligent" as they were proactive rather than reactive. Where do we go from here?

    bump I am using IE8. I love the new features but my quick clicks miss until my hand is retrained where to click. LOL! I keep hitting quote instead of edit when I am typing in a blur and I need to go back and edit.

    I threw in the audio links as these posts tend to pop up on google searches, and people are redirected to these posts. I tend to go overboard with links, notes, and info so that everyone who reads these posts can walk away with a nugget of treasure of information that they need.

This is a bad shot as the sun is behind the house, and the area is dark. These two shots can give you alot of info before you go out to do a site survey for a customer. I was doing this alot due to the high fuel costs. Thank goodness the gas has come down!! I am saving a minimum of $800 a month in gas now!! It is about a buck 90 here. I thought I would never see that price again!

    Video is not too much of a problem in Florida. Audio on the camera is going to cause you more grief then you need. Audio built in to cameras really need a lot of planning, and proper execution. Then again if you have a high threat level you may need audio. _____________________________________________________________ Click on these links on the left at http://www.rcfp.org/taping/ Introduction State-by-state guide Tape-recording laws at a glance Consent and its limits Interstate phone calls Possession and publication The FCC’s role Cellular & cordless calls Citations to cases in articles _____________________________________________________________ Interspousal Wiretapping in California http://erickregalado.wordpress.com/2008/05/21/interspousal-wiretapping-in-california/ _____________________________________________________________ 18 U.S.C. §2511 http://www.justice.gov/criminal/cybercrime/18usc2511.htm
