pcrequest 0 Posted July 13, 2010 I inherited administering our Pelco DX8000 DVR system. We've always wanted to see feeds from our desktops via web browser, but it was never set up. I'm using IE (I've tried 6, 7, . I put the IP address in, and the login page comes up fine, and I can log in. I get to the webdvr.html page. The top toolbar allows me to view many different camera window patterns (i.e. 3 X 3, 2 X 2, etc). But I can't see any video. There is just a Pelco logo placeholder instead of the picture. If I log in to the Pelco itself, I can see live and recorded feeds. What do I need to do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pcrequest 0 Posted July 16, 2010 Disabling AV has no effect. The Direct X plugin has been installed. Either way I login, by checking the "Direct X" or not. I still get the same results with the Pelco logo placeholders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pcrequest 0 Posted August 5, 2010 Are there any online resources where I can download a setup or installation guide? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardwired 0 Posted August 6, 2010 Wondering if the DVR is not set to allow remote viewing, in the setup menus somewhere? Anyway, here is the manual http://www.global-download.schneider-electric.com/852575770039EC5E/All/2E430ADFE23640178525763800644EFA/$File/c624mc.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pcrequest 0 Posted August 10, 2010 Well, I figured it out. I called Pelco and they gave me a little help. Browser isn't going to work well, since we've moved on to IE 7, 8, Chrome, firefox... but the Client option is better. I installed it from our Pelco DX8000 Resource CD. What wasn't obvious to me, is you had to drag the cameras from the left pane, to the logo placeholders. D'oh. This would have been the same in the web version, but I need a machine with IE6, and even that had some Windows DEP protection issues. Too bad this software is no longer updated (according to Pelco rep). I just attempted to run Pelco Client on Windows 7, and I'm not having much luck. We're planning on moving from XP to 7 in the coming months , but I'll save that for a future post. It installs, I can drag a camera to a pane, but I get a black picture with the REC overlays. XP machines see the full video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
