Geovision

no auto login

( >> )

Trioxide - 27 Mar 2008, 10:23 am

Have Geovision ver 7 with the GV-800 card in my Windows XP system. Using LanMpegView.htm file to access my cameras on the WebCam Server. But I can not get it to autologin even though I use the command they have in the htm file of <param name="AutoLogin" value="1">. What I end up have to do is clicking on the ShowSystemMenu button, select Change Server and then click on the OK button and it will log in and I can see my camera. How can I get it so when I open the htm file it auto logins?

No one have any suggestions in why the autologin is not working?

Have tried SimpleVue Geo and that works but I am trying to incorporate this into my CQC application and do not want a seperate window popping up which is what I get with this application. Want it embedded into the html code so I can display it in my IV, Interface Viewer. Any ideas why autologin would not work?

In this order:

DisablePWD = True
UserName = MyUserName
Password = MyPassword
AutoLogin = True

CommandPort = MyCommandPort <- OPTIONAL
DataPort = MyDataPort <- OPTIONAL
AudioDataPort = MyAudioPort <- OPTIONAL

IpAddress = MyIPAddress
BandWidth = LAN <- LAN or MODEM
ChangeQualityX 2 <-320x240 - 2=low, 1=mid, 0=high <- OPTIONAL
ChangeCamX 0 <-camera number 0-15

Changed the order so listed as you have them. Also changed AutoLogin to <param name="AutoLogin" value=True>
Does not work. Tried with quotes and no quotes around the True to no avail. Still have to Change Server and click the OK button and then it logs in and I see my camera.

The above script example works for you though?
Ive used it as demo on my site before and another member here also uses it, so should be okay. You are using ActiveX right, not the Java applet?

Also, the only params you should use are these, the rest goes in JavaScript prior to that:

CODE:

<object classid="clsid:DA8484DE-52DB-4860-A986-61A8682E298A" id="WebCamX1" name="WebCamX1" width="480" height="360">

<param name="_Version" value="65536">

<param name="_ExtentX" value="7938">

<param name="_ExtentY" value="5583">

<param name="_StockProps" value="0">

<param name="FixSize" value="-1">

<param name="FixWidth" value="480">

<param name="FixHeight" value="360">

<param name="AutoReConnect" value="1">

<param name="MaxRetries" value="100">

<param name="RetryInterval" value="40">

</object>

This is an example of the JavaScript as I posted above:

CODE:

function LiveXPlay(id, camx, camera, ip, user, pass, cmdport, dataport, audioport, bwidth, quality, w, h){

    camx.ChangeCamX(camera);           // CAMERA - 0=cam 1, 1=cam 2, etc.

    camx.ChangeQualityX(quality);      // QUALITY - 0=High, 1=Med, 2=Low

    camx.ChangeSizeX(w, h);            // SIZE

    document.getElementById("X"+id+"Quality").innerHTML = quality

    camx.CommandPort = cmdport         // COMMAND PORT

    camx.DataPort = dataport           // DATA PORT

    camx.AudioDataPort = audioport     // AUDIO PORT

    camx.BandWidth = bwidth            // BANDWIDTH - normal="LAN", low="MODEM"

    camx.DisablePWD = "True"           // AUTOLOGIN PART1

    camx.UserName = user               // USERNAME

    camx.Password = pass               // PASSWORD

    camx.AutoLogin = "True"            // AUTOLOGIN PART2

    camx.IpAddress = ip                // SITE IP/DDNS

    camx.PlayX();                      // CONNECT

}

Then use that function like this still inside Javascript:

LiveXPlay (1, document.WebCamX1, 0, "10.10.10.10","demo", "demo", "4550", "5550", "6550", "LAN", 0, "480", "360")

Also, this is very important to initiate the above LiveX play when the page loads:

<body onLoad="PlayX()">

I have a couple versions of the above, 4, 9, and 16 way, if you want I can post each one here.

Would love those. Thanks for your help.

rory - 06 Apr 2008, 01:04 am

Ok here are all of them - 4, 9, and 16 channel versions.
http://www.bahamassecurity.com/geo/GeoWebCam.zip

Things you want to change are:
Camera, IP, User, Pass, BandWidth, Quality

Camera = 0-15 (1-16)
IP = your DVR's IP or DDNS
User/Pass = your user login
Bandwidth = LAN or MODEM (modem for slow connections)
Quality = 320x240 [0=High, 1=Med, 2=Low], 128=640x480, 130=720x480

The playX function is all you need to change, unless you want to add or remove controls.

Yes, it will not work unless you install the LiveX from here:
http://www.bahamassecurity.com/geo/LiveX7Install.zip

The standard version you currently have installed does not have all the functions required.

Get a version error when I install this on another computer, not the server. Installed http://www.bahamassecurity.com/geo/LiveXInstall.exe and that works.

Now just need to fix the Server Close msg. If I am in GeoVision I can see my cameras fine but now using your script I get a "Server Close!!" for an active camera or "No Privlege" for a camera with video lost.

Hi, Server Close means the Server closed the connection, basically the Webcam Server Stopped. (some times you can get that error for other unknown reasons though)

What version is on the DVR you are connecting to?

make sure you are adding the camera numbers in correctly also, such as Camera 1 on the DVR will be Camera 0 in the script, Camera 2 will be Camera 1 in the script, etc. as Geo uses Zero based numbering in their ActiveX.

Make sure all Ports are forwarded in the router also.
Data, Command, and HTTP ports.

rory - 14 Apr 2008, 12:41 am

BTW, Invalid Version means Incompatible Webcam Version, according to Geo anyway.But ive seen it occur before when the versions were the same and put it down to being a webcam bug, such as when it disconnects too fast while it is trying to connect. Basically these are events, and they rely on the Webcam Server on the DVR .. the ActiveX has to be a compatible version though or it wont know what is what. Ive tested from 7.0-8.12 without issues using the 7.0 ActiveX (i also have the 8.xx but had issues before so did not integrate that as yet) but never tested on 8.2 yet. Ofcourse varying connection issues can cause strange event messages also from my experience.

Geovision ver 7 with the GV-800 card in my Windows XP system. Setup everything fine that I know of.
LiveXPlay (1, document.WebCamX1, 0, "193.175.10.158","admin", "test", "4550", "5550", "6550", "LAN", 0, "200", "170")
I am seeing in the Multicam Surveillance System 7.0 that the Webcam Server(W) has a checkmark next to it and in my icon bar in the bottom right, with time, I see the icon of a camera for the WebCam running.

rory - 14 Apr 2008, 03:03 am

Looks okay. Make sure all the ports are forwarded in the new router, that means 4550, 5550, and whichever port you are using for HTTP, 80 is the default. 6550 port forward is only required if you are using Audio.

Where are you running this script from, not the DVR though right?
Also what OS does this PC have (the client).
Any other software running like Nortons, or 3rd Party Firewalls?

Checked out the settings for the router and verified that the ports were open. I am running this script on the server and 2 other computers on the intranet using Windows XP. I can't even see the cameras on the server pc. Have Windows XP Firewall running but settings have not changed on it and was working at one time and now it is not. Even turned it off and that did not make a difference.

If WebCam is running then I get the Server Close!! error msg. If I turn it off then I get Can't connect to server error msg. Looked in the log files and for Login it shows that the computer(s) are logging in successfully to WebCam (MPEG4).

Even tried LanMpegView0.htm which worked before too, but I had to login, and it is not working. Why is WebCam not being allowed through? Can someone step me through checking the ports and such to make sure?

rory - 15 Apr 2008, 12:42 am

First on the PC, add the ports to the Windows Firewall, or disable it (not recommended).

In the Router's Application and Gaming section for Port Forwarding, add all the ports there also ..

Unless you changed the ports in the Webcam Server section:
80, 4550 and 5550

That didn't work. Saw somewhere about reinstalling GeoVision so I did and now it is working. Go figure.

By the way do you have a scaled down version of your script so I could see the cameras via a wireless computer on 11g? Tried with the quality on 2 and the size real small but still do not see anything but blue in the windows.

rory - 15 Apr 2008, 01:15 am

What type of computer is it?
Speed should be the same.

Anyway, you could change the "LAN" to "MODEM"
Set to quality of 2 as you have

You can also disable direct draw and that speeds it up just a tad:

Replace: (all WebCamX's)

EnableDirectDraw True

To:

EnableDirectDraw False

It is a tablet pc running at 1000MHz. The wireless connection gives me a speed of 54 Mbps. Did the changes you suggested and I still don't see anything. I have it set right now for just 1 camera so not as much data would be coming through.
