    Here is a pretty good list of webcam software aimed at motion detected recording:

     

    http://motion-detection.qarchive.org/

     

    This one looks promising: http://cam-wizard.ledset-software.qarchive.org/

     

    I didn't see anything about password protection, but it could be in there. I've seen others listed talking about stealth mode, but not network storage. So the features you are looking for are available, just not sure of any one package to do it all.

     

    I think luxriot supports webcams too.

    Not me. Never been hit by 480VAC 3-phase. Would not be the same afterwards, trust me. I would like to see the average Joe try his hand at High voltage 3-phase. Maybe I will post a photo , if this forum lets me, of a 2000 amp Fuse I change out once in awhile. I seriously doubt if anyone has been hit by installing too much Cat5E. I will have to remember that , the next time I am pulling 4/0 THWN/THHN. 18awg with 12vdc, please, give me a break.

     

    Please do post the picture. I couldn't imagine anyone having a problem with that.

     

    Other then the shock of the big boom I didn't even feel a tingle. I still have that old wrench...

     

    I've never been hit by Ethernet, but T-1's come in on 22-24awg and it gets hot real fast if you lean against the punch block. Ring voltage on a POTS line will tingle pretty hard too, especially if your skin is wet.

     

    I have a feeling you are insinuating something. I don't know why; I am sure close calls like that happen everyday.

    I don't know about WiFi per se, but with the right equipment you can achieve better then 20 miles with radio line of sight. We routinely install links spanning several hundred yards with tranzeo radios and not every install is radio line of sight. The radios are less then a couple hundred bucks each.

     

    I would like to do more wireless stuff, but I don't like heights.

    If you lived closer, I would build you what you need, as my garage is full of electronic/electrical projects.

     

    You're lucky I don't live closer... Sounds like a place where I would want to hang out.

     

     

    I handle 480VAC on a daily basis, several times a day normally.

    Is this you?

    LoL! hopefully that isn't cachecreek, but thanks for the "Flashback". I was installing an LB conduit fitting on the hot side of a 480v main switch and stuffed my 10in crescent wrench into a 277v buss bar. I'm still not sure if the big boom came from my short, or the fuse in the transformer on the road, but the ensuing fireball was quite impressive! unfortunately I burned the skin off of 4 fingers. The worst part was when my boss at the time ran up... He looked white as a ghost! I musta really scared the bejeebers out of him.

     

    Have you ever seen forged steel welded to aluminum? Interesting to say the least...

    I have tried many options and once I managed to make a camera working but then I did not have internet and when I tried to write as www address i could not get through and the only I saw was the camera picture on my all 3 laptops in my local home network which is BT home hub and 3 laptops, please hel me to install this hardware

     

    Sounds like you are close to getting it working. What IP address did you give the camera? To set up viewing over the Internet is a little trickier then local viewing. Get the local viewing working right and then read up on "port forwarding" to get the Internet viewing to work.

     

    Or, just pay the kid next door 20 bucks to set it up for you. People who have done simple home networking could probably set it up in 10 or 15 minutes. To do it yourself could take anywhere from several hours to many days to figure it out. Check out the Computers/Networking forum for networking help:

    It is still a little slow and still getting some errors.

     

    Hey bud, clear your browser cache...

     

    Do that every day

     

    A little paranoid are we? Actually I can see that being good, but man would I hate having to enter all those user/passwords every day. I must go to 9 or 10 sites a day that require login.

    IC Realtime is not in the business of taking care of end users, IC Realtime's authorized DEALERS are supposed to take care of the end users.

     

     

    I agree 110% If I have a problem with my van I don't go to GM HQ Detroit MI. There are like 1000 dealers between me and Detroit that I would expect to help me first.

     

    That being said, it does sound like ICRealtime is somewhere in the middle. Hopefully they draw a solid line and simply refer future inquiries back to the customers closest dealer.

    I too would say mud ring. I don't know that you would get all those connectors in a box. 6 bnc's on a faceplate is pretty bulky. But check with your AHJ to assure you can use rings instead of boxes.

     

    I'm all for patch panel installs but if you need to trim the budget somewhere you could dress the coax nicely and just come straight into the back of the DVR. (no patch panel) If the cables are marked clearly that is still a nice install. Keep the cat 5 on the faceplate.

     

    Splitting the power in the wall would make for a clean install. But would you be able to add cables later? Your clean install is shot if any adds have to come down the outside of the wall. I usually come down the outside and dress my cables nice. Adds can be added to the back of the bundle. If you don't like dressing the cables you could use finger duct. That makes adds real easy.

    the unit was sent in despite the fact no RMA was issued.

     

    Nope, I had an RMA number and returned the proper forms with the unit.

     

    The biggest problem I see is ICRealtime did halfheartedly try to help; but the first email or phone call should have ended the issue by simply giving the OP the name and contact info of the next closest dealer.

     

    I have a problem with having another dealer who did not make any money off the sale become responsible for the issues. That just doesn't seem right to me. Any dealer that would is going above and beyond and would earn my respect and future business.

     

     

    When I read your statement it was pretty evident any RMA# you were issued was only meant to be issued to a dealer.

     

    She put me through to Amanda who gave me an RMA number before she realized I wasn’t a dealer. I got the big OHHH, let me have Andrew call you-he deals with problem returns. She committed to me I would receive a call by the end of the day; I never did receive a call back from Andrew-ever.

     

    Regarding calling another dealer...

    It's the dealers that add the service to the product. That's the whole point of a dealer network. There probably isn't a dealer on this board that hasn't taken on just such a scenario.

     

    Anyway, I hope you get your DVR issues resolved...

    I'm sorry to hear the OP is having a problem with his DVR. But from what I am reading the unit is discontinued, out of warranty, the company doesn't offer end user support, and the unit was sent in despite the fact no RMA was issued.

    All this thread is missing is dealer outrage that they were cut out of the loop by the manufacturer/distributor.

    Yes, the IP address for your port forwarding needs to match the IP address of your DVR. That is why it is best to static the DVR.

     

    In your router settings there should be a way to set an IP range to use for DHCP and what you have left would be your static IP range. The DVR should use an IP in the static range. And that would be the IP address you set for your port forwarding.
