Nope; Setup, and no password needed. The firmware version gave away the model. So do we really have any confirmed sightings of Aver Nanos/Linux Boxes with Handy Viewer? That customer of yours a few posts back, are we sure he has a Nano? Jez

hi jay. can you try this on your Crestron, this is another EH Linux hybrid (not nano) and see how many cameras you see. http://remote.aver.com/mobile/channel3.html Tom, This isn't an EH Linux Hybrid, it's an NV3000 4Channel Windows Hybrid Card. Jez

Cool! So that's a Linux DVR with Handy Viewer! Where does that leave us? J

Hey Tom, That works perfectly - Oddly though, only channels 1 to 3 work. So http://remote.aver.com/mobile/channel3.jpg works perfectly but http://remote.aver.com/mobile/channel4.jpg doesn't exist! Jez

Many thanks for the info - I think it's pretty much confirmed now that Handy Viewer is not implemented in the Nano, but if that screenshot above is indeed from a Nano, then perhaps there is a firmware release out there with it enabled. I'm sure it can't be a stretch because afaik the Linux DVRs support Java Viewer and that uses jpgs rather than a stream. The other option I have with Crestron (natively and also with Command Fusion) is to use a raw mjpeg, mpeg4, or H.264 stream out of the box - but it needs to be with HTTP commands - as you would for example with Axis video servers, but I can't find any info on protocols.

Morning Tom, Thought it was worth mentioning, a friend of mine bought a Nano at the same time as me, from the same supplier, and his is exactly the same - no Handy Viewer. Jez

By the way, the "Send E-Mail" box in Alarms is not greyed out - I can set an email as long as I set up an alarm

PM sent, and I really appreciate all your help here!

That's what I thought! But not on this Nano it would seem! What firmware is your customer using?

Cool! So there is hope! Can you post that link?

It's a bit more complicated than that, but basically it pulls the jpgs from the DVR using the URLs of each channel's jpg. The issue is that http://:5550/mobile is not a valid URL on the Nano and therefore cannot be viewed on a pc. On the SA, you need to tick the Handy Viewer box in setup, but the Nano does not have such a box to tick! This is a shot of the panel fed by the individual channel jpgs from the SA - excuse the fuzz, but I'd rather not have internal pics of the house on the 'net. This works perfectly on the SA - the Crestron program refreshes the jpgs and so you get psuedo motion. I just want to replicate this using a Nano. And this all just hinges on Handy Viewer working! ie /mobile

Sorry, yes, it has got rather confusing hasn't it? Ok, what you've pictured is "PDAViewer" used on WinCE devices - PDAs and suchlike "Handy Viewer" is the simple snapshot interface for mobile phones which only have an internet browser - for example the Nokia mentioned earlier. As per the AVer manuals - and I quote: "Using HandyViewer to Access DVR Server Users can use a mobile phone to access the DVR through Internet. Make sure your mobile phone support IE browser and is connected to the internet. To access the DVR server, open IE browser and enter http://enter server IP or domain name here/mobile. You can see the latest screen shot. Click << >> to change the channel or camera and Refresh to reload new screen shot." And that's all I'm trying to do!! Ok - here's a snapshot from my SA DVR Handy Viewer - I just want to do this with the Nano.

Handy Viewer isn't Symbian based - It's very basic Javascript! If you look at the code, it doesn't call any external scripts - it's fully self contained and only points to the jpgs, so if you drill to the URL of the jpg, it's not even javascript any more! It's simply a URL pointing at a jpg. So we haven't got the answer of how do you activate Handy Viewer on a Nano?

this is aver mobile still image viewer only still image that you have to refresh all the time. no controls and no audio. its just called avers java refresh. and you only get 1inch x 1 inch image. http://demo1.cctvbuyers.com:5550/mobile/ Ok, this is EXACTLY what I need out of my Nano. The reason is I need to provide the still jpgs to a Crestron Touch Panel which then refreshes the jpgs every 100ms to provide a moving image. So in your example above, the address I would use on the Touch Panel is: http://demo1.cctvbuyers.com:5550/mobile/channel1.jpg Then channel2, 3 etc for the rest. However, I can't get the Nano to spit this out. this is what you need to see on your nokia screen http://demo1.cctvbuyers.com:5550/JAVA-Viewer.html then you will see JAVA-Viewer.jar click on that to install icon in your mobil application screen and your done. I just used the Nokia as an example because that's the phone I used to test on. So forgetting about Java-Viewer, and forgetting about the Nokia, I simply want to get the "test" jpgs as you call them out of the Nano so I can use them on the Crestron Touch Panel. Does that make sense?

From the instruction manual: Using HandyViewer to Access DVR Server Users can use a mobile phone to access the DVR through Internet. Make sure your mobile phone support IE browser and is connected to the internet. To access the DVR server, open IE browser and enter http://enter server IP or domain name here/mobile. You can see the latest screen shot. Click << >> to change the channel or camera and Refresh to reload new screen shot. This is what I have always understood "Handy Viewer" to be.
