Shawn, when you log into Intellex, are you using any password? Normally Intellex can have one admin and as many users as you want. Admin can program what functions are to be avail for which user... I think that your user privileges were limited by the admin settings... If you have the admin log password, you can change it... or bypass it completely and reset all the passwords...

Dependent what your answers are, then I can send you PM on how to reset all the passwords.. thereafter, you can log in as admin and full control on all the functions of this Intellex...

There should be a button in the middle lower of the screen allowing you to play back recorded video or use the search button...

Something in the system is tweaked not allowing the play button not to display and that is possible in their setup area... This system is either based on Win95 or Win98 dependent on the build...

Please give me some more info and I will have answers for you... like system setting through setup area, etc...

Hello sir,

The version installed on your intellex is very limited as far as options go.
I suspect the software is currently not seing any of your storage drives.


I suggest you update your unit to 2.5.9
get the file at the AD website.
under support, software downloads, intellex DVMS, 2.5.9 upgrade

upgrading to 2.5.9 will give you the storage screen under setup.
then if you dont see any drives. I suggest you go out to windows format the drives (except the C: of course) and run a drive config.

2.5.9 is also a very reliable version.

Regards,

Val

Val, what you are suggesting is a hardware dependent upgrade... and dependent when this 2.21 was manufactured or better yet, when it was upgraded to 2.21 from its previous versioni, there is very good chance that 2.59 version will not work.. It is worth trying, but once the upgrade does not go through, he looses everything.. and of course, AD will not give him a free SW key...

Shawn, do you have the original 2.21 restore CDs by any chance?

Shawn, when you go to setup section and looking at your storage.. how much storage do you show? Also, check the mode of the recording... and make sure it is recording "circular" mode instead of "linear" mode. There is a good chance that if it was selected "linear" mode, then when recording reaches to the last stage of the storage, it will stop recording..

2.2 to 2.59 requires no hardware change at all
2.2 to 2.59 will also require no SW key if you run the upgrade.

we suggest this upgrade to anyone running 2.1 or higher, as it makes their intellex very stable.

I work with these on a daily basis.

As for the exit code, I suggest you call in to support. As I do not want to give it here.

May be... dependent on the motherboard that the original system was built... The issue are the drivers that 2.59 may not recognize. The only way to confirm this is to perform the upgrade... but I rather be cautious than sorry... The best approach is the exit the system, go to your desktop and confirm the minimum requirements for such upgrade before doing it... and if you want the exit code, send me PM...

2.2 to 2.59 will also require no SW key if you run the upgrade.

You missed my point about the SW key... If he crashes the system and does not have restore CDs or the SW key vs. the MAC address is not clear or missing, he is basically hosed...

Are you working for AD directly? If so, you know you do not see these type of systems much at all lately...

Val, you are missing my point... As many of these systems you saw, I do not think you had a chance to view this problem from end user stand point...

Please find my answers to your observations above!

I do work for AD directly.

I you call AD tech support with your 2.2 version SW key and serial number
they will generate a 2.5 SW key for you.

2.2 units do not have any recovery disks.
If you want 2.5.9 recovery disks ( ghost image for each kind of motherboard) the part number you want is: 0352-0326-01

I do not mean to get into any arguments, I just know the product very well.

Does that mean that cd will work with any of the motherboards for that version?

The part number will give you a kit.
You will be able to run a recovery on every type of motherboard in the 2.x series.

I tried posting the .pdf for the procedure, but attachments seem to not be working.

hi everyone thanks for all the useful info. i saved the upgrade on my other oc and burned it onto a cd, but as i mentioned above this unit does not have a cd drive so i opened it up unpluged one of the secondary hard drives and pluged in the cd drive.. Everytime i started the unit to aply the upgrade it gave me a drive error and shut down ... So what i had to do is use the windows 98 upgrade the ie and went to the site . downloaded it, saved it , then ran the upgrade.. everything went well no isues. Now the unit is working great. i can view the recorded content, setup motion etc... only problem is that i would like to add a cdrw so i can burn alarms and other saved images.. Once again thanks everyone for there support.
