  1. Do you like it?

     

    I'm too green with it to be able to pass a fair judgement. So far I agree with everything I've read about it though. The UI needs an overhaul. But to be fair, so do most software suites at an Enterprise level. Looking at you VMware, SolidWorks, Microsoft, Cisco, Iconics.. Theres so many features I can see how it would be a challenge to make easily digestible. However, there's crap scattered everywhere. Login into this browser page, open that app, go to this tab, no not that tab.. click that vague icon that doesn't remotley resemble anything it actually does. Its a learning curve. I just wish things were more unified.

     

    From what little I've scratched the surface, lots of potential. Lots of IT friendly security features and audit trails. Very powerful. Trunk slammers and home users need not apply.


  2. But if all you want to do is monitor gas, oil, water, etc., the Genetec software is an extreme overkill.

     

    We have sensors. Analytics will be to fill in the gaps or in many cases create redundancy either as a backup or to verify issues and draw attention.

     

    Unfortunately I can't share many details at this time.

     

    Still trying to get a friggin license key! After many calls/ emails... Finally got regional reps name. I need to start playing in my lab asap. Very frustrating.

     

     

    Hello Alex. Hope all is well and you are keeping warm up there.


  3. Long time no talk my dudes. I'm taking over a very large Genetec project soon. I'm booking classes to be certified but I wanted to check in and get some feedback. What have I gotten into? What are your experiences? Reliability? User friendlyness? Any quirks?

     

    I'm still waiting on an enterprise demo key since my morning request... So far I am not impressed with their sense of urgency! I tried calling them, left a message. Tried online chat, the lady said she would inquire about getting me a key and then disconnected the chat. Lol! Oh boy...


  4. I bought a couple of these boxes to mess around with. One I've been using for my home nvr running Avigilon. The other had been sitting in my closet for about a year until I found a need for it. Just recently started using it and it's been running great for a few days until tonight. It's not wanting to boot to Windows anymore and says it's missing or has corrupt system files. Unfortunately these didn't come with any kind of repair disc. I tried making one with the good machine but it said it was missing the necessary files to make a repair disk. I've tried all kinds of things off Google... ugh. Any tips for somehow making or finding a repair disc?


  5. I am looking for an equivalent to IP Cam Viewer for Android. I specifically need to view Axis cameras and control their i/o functions. IP Cam Viewer does everything I need... but so far everything I download for iPhone sucks.


  6. "What type of wireless cards work?

     

    The majority of users looking to do remote camera configurations prefer to use either Verizon 3G or Sprint 3G/4G modems. This is because they come with a public IP that allows you to talk to the device outside the local network, while providers like AT&T (unless i2Gold with 10+ lines), Virgin and other prepaid services use private IP addresses block ports preventing remote access (Verizon 4G LTE Doesn't work for IP Cameras or Webcams). If this is already starting to confuse you don't worry, think of a "public IP" like an address inside the U.S. that you can drive to in your car. Now, a "Private IP" would be like an address on an island surrounded by water, obviously you can't drive your car there. After you've checked cellular coverage and determined which provider to use you must figure out if you want a static IP or use a dynamic DNS provider. "

  7. I am told that AT&T wireless has gone out of their way to block all outbound ports from their consumer-type air cards. They are trying to promote use of a different, business type service. Is this true? Without using a VPN, is there a work around?

     

    I am using a Cradle Point router and AT&T 4G air card. I can't seem to get any ports to talk...

     

    Thanks
