carbitz 0 Posted May 19, 2014 Hi guys, i have come into possession of some old Vantage IP Cameras, I have managed to connect power and network cable and can see the camera via a web browser, but cannot get a picture, i am not sure if i am missing a video encoder or something as i thought i should be able to see it via a browser? I can go to the camera setup up page etc, it asks for a 'add-on' to be installed - nvEncoderMedia.dll from 'Content Appliance Networks Limited', I allow this, then it just shows a blank screen. If anyone has any ideas i would be very grateful to try any of your suggestions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carbitz 0 Posted May 20, 2014 I have checked the pop up blockers, disabled them, put the address in safe list etc but nothing! Just a blank screen, am i missing any hardware as i believe these are quite early, perhaps a decoder or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
