Home security dvr

I've had Firefox for years and I've always been able to get into my dvr ( cameras ) for my house. Now Firefox comes up with authentication error every time i try to log onto them. Can anyone tell me why it does not work anymore. It's very important that i can be able to do this. I can still do it from my PC but no longer from my Droid Razor Max .
I also use Firefox on my Pc.
Thank you in advance for any help that you can give me.
Bob

Are there any details about the authentication system that is used for the dvr? What model is it?

How can I access my home security DVR from the internet?

My Time Capsule (as a router and not a bridge) blocks me from accessing my home security DVR from the internet. I can access it from other computers connected to my LAN but not from the internet. I guess it's a firewall setting issue. I can't add the home security application to the list of firewall allowed incoming connections since it's a Windows app that I cannot install on my Mac. On the other hand, the app is installed on my old PC but I can't access the Mac firwall settings from the PC and add the security app (If that's the problem).
My DVR is connected to a Netgear switch which is connected to the Time Capsule which is connected to a Cisco modem provided by Comcast. I thought one of the modem ports had to be opened by Comcast. That was not the issue. After spending 2 hours on the phone with Comcast going in circles talking to 10 different overseas agents, they concluded the Netgear switch was blocking me from accessing the DVR. I think they are wrong and that it's a Mac firewall problem. HELP!!! Does anyone know what could be the problem and how to solve it?

Did you forward the required ports in the TIme Capsule? If not it won't work.. it has nothing to do with firewall unless the DVR is plugged into the Mac. If it is plugged into a switch you need to lock the IP of the DVR and find out what ports are required.. usually just port 80, ie html.. but it could be some others.
Since Apple do not use upnp to open ports.. the TC will have to manually be provided with the ports.. Apple use PMP-NAT that is not used by the rest of the known world.. Just to ensure you stay in the camp.

My Displeasure with the Home Media DVR

Before I begin let me say that I love FIOS....it beats the competition by a mile. My disappointment however, comes from the software that runs the Motorola boxes badged as the FIOS Home Media DVR.
When I first moved to my current apartment I immediately signed for for FIOS when I found out that it was available. For three years before I got FIOS I was (and still am) a big fan of TiVo but I decided that it would make sense to try out VZ's DVR if it meant saving money and reducing the number of boxes connected to my TV so I gave the Home Media DVR and try and sent it back to VZ only three weeks after I began using it.
Two years later I decide to give it a try again because it was being advertised as a bundle that would save me some cash. I figured that bugs in the software would have been worked out by now so I didn't mind giving it a try again. Well I've had the box since Nov 08 and im almost ready to throw it out the window. Many of the problems I experienced the first time I tried the Home Media DVR still exist and thats very disappointing!
Unfortunately, I'm stuck in a contract with this stupid box until Oct this year but you can bet I won't waste a moment kicking these boxes to the curb and replacing them with my TiVos (thank God I kept them).
Unlike the Home Media DVR my TiVo's do not:
- Arbitrarily fast forward when they want without my input.
- Fail to respond to input from the remote if not pointed directly at the box.
- Fail to recognize the input from the remote and do something else.
- Have clunky fast forward and rewind. TiVo is smooth and refined.
- Have a tendency to jump to an entirely different folder after I delete a show in one folder.
- Have options that are un-clear when deciding if the user has to decide if he wants to cancel an existing recording to watch or record something new.
And finally, my TiVos never made me so sick with rage that I dreamed of ways to make it feel the pain and frustration it was causing me.
As I've already said, I love my FIOS internet and TV service but the Home Media DVR has TOO MANY FREAKIN BUGS. At this point I'm not waiting on wither VZ or Motorola to fix them; I'll just be waiting out my contract so i can send this damd box back to hell and place my TiVos back where they belong making me and my life much more happy.
Rant Over!

Ya know, I like the fact that you can easily watch a show recorded on the Home Media DVR in another room in an instant.....But the negatives pop-up when you try to have any interaction with the box outside of stop and start. If that show has commercials and you try to skip them the DVR has a really hard time understanding what the satelite box it telling it to do. Then this odd problem I have with my box is that if im watching a show and I let it play straight through (not fast forwarding through commercials), it picks a point when it wants to start fast forwarding on its own and it doesn't stop. So if I walk away during a commercial break its possible that when I return, it will have reached the end of the show. (what the crap is that all about)
So while I like the instant satifaction the Home Media DVR provides in that sense, Its not enough to make me hate transferring a show using TiVo.

Home Security System For Mac?

I'm on the market for a home security system I can run through my home computers. I was all set to purchase a nice Logitech system with an outdoor camera and everything else, and noticed it doesn't work with Mac.
I've done a lot of research, but I'm not finding a recommended system for Mac users.
Can anyone make a recommendation or point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

You might check CNet Downloads or MacUpdate and search for the software. Then you will know what systems should work with Macs such as Thinking Home that works with X-10 devices.

How can i view my home security with a basic phone

I have a basic lg phone thru verizon. can i set this phone up so i can view my home security while i am away

You can purchase any smartphone to use on wifi if you buy one straight out with no service, but you'd need to go to a site that resells used phones or find a prepaid that requires no service. You could even use a tablet that is wifi-capable. But that's just using WiFi. Sounds like you want all over access on mobile data and wifi though. You cannot buy a Walmart phone and use that in lieu of your basic phone on Verizon. You would have to upgrade to a smartphone and that eligibility would be based on your contract if you have one.

Issue with Accessing Home Media DVR via web

I recently had Fios installed (TV, Internet, Phone). Everything seems to be working fine so far. When I try to access my Home Media DVR via the web portal, I get time out messages, and errors saying that the DVR isn't responding. I get similiar errors when I try to access the DVR via the web browser on my phone as well.
Also, when Verizon Central (or whatever the web portal is called) tries to gather the information from my set top boxes, it tells me that it can't get the information from my Home DVR box.
Any issues/fixes on this?? Please help.
Thank you,
Sean

For this it seams like the boxes are able to be seen by verizon.com/fiostvcentral if that's the case you can try powercycling the router, and the cables boxes, and then trying it again. If that doesn't work you will have to call the vz tech support. 888-553-1555.

Trying to disconnect Xfinity Home Security - been on hold for 90 minutes.

I recently signed up for Xfinity Home Security, and the service has not worked well at all. We have had technicians out to our house multiple times. Also, I get errors all the time when trying to arm the system from my cell phone. Additionally, it will report doors being open, when they are closed. I have been on hold for over 90 minutes, and they are trying to charge me a huge termination fee to stop the service. I never signed an agreement or agreed to any terms verbally. They added it on at the Xfinitity store and were not able to even give me a printed copy of the services.

I am sorry for the delay and your troubles. I have sent you a private message to assist you further.

Storing config.xml in a separate directory (/home/secure/config) !

Hi All,
We wanted to keep the config.xml file alone in a different directory
I have tried using the -Dweblogic.ConfigFile system property during weblogic server startup it did NOT work out.
I have also tried using the -Dweblogic.RootDirectory in combination with -Dweblogic.ConfigFile . Even then I am facing a problem "weblogic.management.ManagementRuntimeException: com.rsa.jsafe.JSAFE_PaddingException"
I would like to keep just the config.xml in a separate directory like for e.g. /home/secure/config/config.xml and wanted to point the domain I have created to use the config.xml stored under /home/secure/config directory.
Any pointers to info source will be REALLY appreciated.
Many Thanks in Advance,
C R Baradwaj

well it all about applying your programming logic..Why don't you write a dedicated servlet which can locate that particular in your computer and then send out the downloadable content for you by streaming the data.
checkout the below example of one my recent posts where i'm trying to locate an image file and giving an option of opening that file in browser or asking eu to download that file via a customized logic.

How to get my software on my 8900 curve and view home security cameras ?

hello, i was hoping to find a solution on how to access my home security cameras on my 8900 curve ; was told it was possible but the attet tech didnt know how exactly ! is there a way to download my software and view my home cameras on my curve ?

hi and Welcome to the Forums!
You will need to do one (or more) of several things:
1) Find out if the maker of your cameras has an app for your BB. Do whatever they say to do to make it work.
2) Create a compatible web page from your cameras that you can then view using your BB web browser. Compatible media streams can be found in this KB:
KB05482 Media types supported on the BlackBerry smartphone
I think this has been done before -- do a wide search on this forum and see if you can find the answers that others have found in the past.
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the button inside of their post. Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

Seeking advice/recommendations on a wireless networked camera for personal home security

Greetings forum! I am in need of advice/recommendations for a medium quality (less than $200) camera that I can set to record via my Airport Extreme network. This is mainly for home security, to watch the main entry point of the domicile. Alerts and/or viewing live stream remotely needed; I am considering the following model and welcome any feedback from those with knowledge/experience. Has anyone used the following and if so, how would you rate such things as ease of use, compatibility, ease of set-up, etc.
Linksys - Wireless-N Internet Home Monitoring Camera
Model: WVC80N | SKU: 9506652
Thanks in advance.

I answered the questions that were asked. "What will be, will be"
If you want to talk about security in relation to malware in general:
While there are no known viruses that attack Mac OS X at the present time, it is possible for spyware to get onto your Mac.
So I go to lenghts to protect my user. A hosed system can be replaced but a compromised user folder is compromised forever. Along with all your important data like bank records, credit cards, ... I.e. your "identity" stolen.
The best way to avoid that is by using your built-in firewall which is industrial strength and/or a hard wired router, downloading only from "trusted" sites, installing all security updates and being careful about what you give administrative power to. It is also recommended to run day to day tasks from a non-admin account.
Don't use Limewire or any other P2P service to download your software, get it from reputable sources. In addition, always keep at least your users backed up, preferably a clone of your entire system on a separate disk. And put your sensitive passwords, bank accounts, credit card numbers in a "secure note" in a new keychain or in an encrypted folder.
If and when a Mac virus does appear it will be headline news and you can download the AV software then. If you feel you have to run an AV program I'd suggest ClamXav a mac friendly freeware app that is very stable with OS X. It will check for known virus signatures at any rate.
Hope this helps.

Can't open FF4, and I get a Vista Home Security 2011 error message

I downloaded FF v4 on my Dell laptop running Vista. FF worked fine, so I downloaded Aniweather, Forecastfox weather, and something else that I can't find now all from the Mozilla website.
I tried to adjust the weather to my locale from the default New York City. Then everything went to crap. I got a pop-up from Vista Home Security 2011 that ran a scan, then told me I had 31 infections of Malware and trojans. Then it told me I had to subscribe to it's services to remove the infections.
Then I tried to open FF4 and nothing happened. So I tried to open Internet Explorer and it won't open either. The Vista Home Security keeps popping up and acts like a trojan, so I haven't done anything with it. How can I find and remove everything I downloaded from Mozilla?

Vista Home Security 2011 is a rogue application. Try running several malware scanners to ensure your computer is not infected. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
* Malwarebytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
* SuperAntiSpyware - http://www.superantispyware.com
* Ad-Aware - http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php
* Windows Defender - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx
* Spybot S&D - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html

How to cancel TV and Phone while keeping Internet and Home Security

We have moved to CA and have Xfinity TV and Internet connected at our new address. However, we still have Triple Play (TV, Phone, Internet) AND Home Security service at our prior address in MN. We need to disconnect TV and Phone in MN immediately, but keep the Internet and Home Security services for another few weeks until we close on the house sale. We've spoken to multiple reps in CA and MN and been given the run around. Xfinity Home refers us to Comcast customer support, which refers us vack to Xfinity home. CA reps say only MN can get the MN account sorted out. Complete cluster.

ComcastZach, I think I love you.

I have a MacBook Air with OS X and am having trouble accessing the ADT Pulse Home Security System cameras. The mobile (iPhone and iPad) apps allow access no problem, but I can't get a picture on the MacBook. Have tried Safari and Firefox browsers.

From a Catherine to Katherine -- Had the exact same problem!! I had to enable Java twice - both in Safari and then on the MacBookAir itself.
