    Java client for AvTech DVRs

    D0bb1n Steve's code is supposed to work on 16 channel systems also. He's got a pointer to the source in one of his earlier replies. check it out. However, since it doesn't work on my 16ch 777w, I'm trying to figure out why. Which model do you have? If you can figure it out before I do, let me know.

    scorpion, I've tried all the applets from that site. Here are my results: * EagleEyes (J2ME) gives me a blank screen after I create a login profile and click on it. No error message, no anything. * EagleEyes (J2ME New version) says: "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError" when starting it up * EagleEyes (For WinCE) gives "The network is failed!!" upon trying to connect to the DVR * EagleEyes (For WinCE New Version) gives "Login Failed!" upon trying to connect to the DVR * Supervisor (aka GPRS/3G software) doesn't install for security reasons. It says "permission javax.microedition.io.Connector.socket is not available on this device" I got a hold of the source code for EagleEyes (by decompiling it.) It looks like it's only for IP cameras. All device references in the code are for "IPCamObject." However, it also seems to use 16 small icons. I presume it's to reference channels 1-16 on the UI. Are you sure this is supposed to work with a DVR? If so, I can try debugging it.

    Steve, yes, I am aware of this, but technically it should work with all the DVRs you listed earlier. Mine is on that list. Just for kicks, I extracted the java app from my machine, and decompiled it. It turns out that, aside from some parameters and function name differences, the main app is very similar to yours. AVTech seems to use the same app for all of its java-based DVRs. BTW, Video Server E is just a UI wrapper for the java apps stored on the DVR. Knowing very little about Java (nothing before a couple of days ago), I wanted to leverage what you had done. My ultimate goal is get this to run on my Windows Mobile phone as a Midlet. Of course, this is just for fun, so I'm digging into it as I get free time. Thanks for getting me closer to this goal!

    Thanks for helping me figure this out! I now have a much broader set of options. It turns out that I didn't read all the 16ch documents that you had on your site and didn't get to this particular one. It does have internet connection, btw. I tried video viewer, but it doesn't seem to work. I get a "login failed" error. Because of all the changes you mention, I wouldn't be surprised if AVTECH did some specific change at the request of Lorex. This means that Steve's app is recognizing the DVR at initialization, but gets confused later. It may be because of the number of the channels. I have yet to figure out all the details, but I'm working on it. It helps to know what I'm working with

    Thanks scorpion. I looked through your site, and read some of the documents, but didn't find much that would help me identify my DVR. However, in doing more web searches, I did run into a manual for this device at the following site (can't post URLs yet): lorexstore (dot) lorextechnology (dot) com (slash) pdfs (slash) DXR216_MANUAL_EN.pdf. It's really worthless though since everything in it refers to Video Server S, when this DVR only works with Video Server E. I did confirm though that it uses both JPEG and MPEG, so I continue to believe that it was based on the AVC760. It's possible the Steve's app doesn't work because of the dual compression format support. I'll continue with my search, but if you can think of something else, please let me know. Thanks again..

    I've read this thread many times, but hadn't gotten around to playing with the app until today. I have a Lorex 16ch DVR (model: DXR216). The "driver" disk (not a driver, but app) is titled PCD-732E and comes with Video Server E (v1.0.6.6). That gave me a hint about the true background of the DVR. I now know it's an AVTECH OEM'd device. Unfortunately, I can't find any info on the web about it. I've owned it (brand new) for about 2 months. I've called Lorex, but the support folks didn't even know that I could go to the AVTech site and get stuff that would work with this DVR - go figure. Anyway, after debugging Steve's app for a while (some variables were inititalized improperly), I've gotten as far as the InitSerialCmd function. When the app starts, it gives my DVR a "777W" ID, then the b_V732E flag = True. After that, it thinks that it's an n_Device=5, which is a "9CH DMR." Based on everything I've read, I think this Lorex device is actually an AVC760 jpeg (thus the 732E disk that came with it.) Anyone know anything about it? Am I just wasting my time trying to get this app to work on it? It just seems so close, yet so far. Thanks in advance!
