  1. I monitor seven Avigilon servers using the Avigilon client. The IP address of one of the sites has changed. Each time I restart the client, the settings for that site have reverted to the old IP address. I have to re-enter the new IP address using Client Settings->Site Networking. How do I make the new IP address permanent?

     

    Best,

    Christopher

     

    Do you have a admin rights on the client computer? We have had this issues at one of our projects where the users don't have windows admin rights.

    Been fixed

     

    Ok so what was the resolution?

  3. Best IP Camera brand that you use.

     

    Best at what?

     

    We are constantly testing cameras from many different manufacturers including: Hikvision, Sony, Axis, Bosch, Samsung, Canon, DTVel, GeoVision, GE, Dahua, DRS, UDP, Avigilon

     

    Avigilon still is our go to camera CCTV solution because of the image quality, easy of install, easy of use and support.


  4. What GE cameras?

    The new Interlogix stuff?

     

    They have a mix of new and old GE stuff. All the old stuff is getting replaced. All the new GE stuff is rebranded Hikvision cameras so they work just fine.

     

     

    Interesting.

    I wonder if Hikvision Cameras will work with a Interlogix NVR?

     

    I wouldn't be surprised if those NVRs are Hikvision OEM too. Hikvision's SADP software discovers the GE cameras.


  5. If you have a current SMA with Genetec you should be able to upgrage to 5.3 SR3 (The current version)

     

    If all your cameras are compatible with Avigilon then that would be an option too.

     

    We just won a project to switch a 700 camera Genetec system to Avigilon. Customer said Genetec is to complicated and to expensive. They have old D1 GE cameras which we are switching out to Aviglon and they have new GE and Samsung cameras which we are keeping and recording in ACC.


  6. run at least 12 strand fiber you then have spares plus you could expand you other network. Cost it out we have installed a lot of armored fiber that was very inexpensive compared to intermediate switches.

     

     

    minimum quantity of fiber from sellers over here is 500m, price per meter is $4... he won't have his own terminating gear so there's another $1k if it's got lots of cores, the media converters will be around $250 each if he does not have switch's with transceivers in them...

     

    not disagreeing that fiber is the way to go in most situations, but if he's being cheap and nasty (you getting that Vibe? I'm getting that Vibe)

     

    as opposed to a few boxes of cat 5 at $100 a box (for 300m per box) and a few cheap $70 switch's.......

     

    Don't get me wrong, I think the whole approach is wrong, but what he's got is what he's got!

     

    $4 a foot? You can get 50/125 fiber for .50 a foot and you can order it pre terminated for an additional cost.


  7. Do a factory reset at the camera then try to upgrade the firmware again. If you are connected to Avigilon ACC make sure you running the lastest version 5.6.2.14 and the firmware will automaticly be pushed out to the camera.

     

    If that doesn't fix it and the camera is still in warranty call Avigilon's support and they will RMA the camera and ship you an advanced replacement.

     

    No luck with factory reset.

    Contacted Avigilon and they said I have to go through an integrator to RMA.

     

    Where did you purchase the camera?

  9. Actually, it's not that simple. If it was it would currently be being done.

     

    The facts are false positives create wasted disk space.

     

    This is why the current solution has and is to simply use continuous recording since no additional space is required because recording is continuous anyway.

     

    This all said. Major coding changes would be required to undo the current PTZ motion detection logic suspension in any case. As stated. Hikvision is looking at doing this at minimum with auto-tracking that invokes PTZ controls during that process.

     

    Don

     

    I disagree. It would be easy for them to send the motion flag whenever the camera is moved.
