Motion Detection fail to set

When I check the box for Motion Detection I get an error message box, At the top "Messgae from webpage" " No Option Selected. Select one from the list". I had this problem when I first got these cameras a year ago and I fixed it by changing a Internet Exploer setting, now nothing I set makes a difference. I have Windows Vista 64bit and IE8. Vista did an update that made me reinstall McAfee and anthinicate Adoby CS, Proably the reason. I can send you a screen shot through e mail.

WVC210 no Video to set area for Motion Detection

If I press the "Set Area & Sensitivity" button in the Motion Detection setup area I get the adjustment for the 4 detection windows on the left and on the right site only a black area where the video should be. But on top of this I can see a motion detection window if activated, but this is black too, only the top bar with e.g. "Window 2" in it is not black and I can move it by drag&drop.
I'm using:
Win 7 Ultimate 64
IE 8
Anybody any idea?

Hi Mark,
Thank you for posting. When you set up the SMTP settings the camera emails video or pictures? Have you tried setting up remote access to the camera to see if you can view the video from a remote location?
If you are unable to resolve this, please reply or call Small Business Support for further assistance. You can find a number here: www.cisco.com/go/sbsc

Motion detection WVC54GCA setting custom area.

Now onto the next issue with the WVC54GCA.
When setting up the E-mail and configuring the motion detection with a minimum time between motions at 5 minutes I still get more then 100 mails a day.
IMO setting the custom area is not functioning. It just keeps detecting everything in the full window.
Does anybody know a solution or is it just this bad?
If so is there any new firmware coming out, or do we get a change to fiddle with it ourselves, by opening up telnet or any other way?
(Just wished I know the root password )
From the 100 mails are atleast 75 false. If I could bring that back to 20 or less it would be acceptable for me, but this is too much.

Help with motion detection preset on a WVC210

Hi, I am really out of ideas. Is it possible to set the home position as my motion detection area? I can't seem to be able to make my camesa stay at its home position. I set my camera to go back to my home position after 1 minute of idling, the the camera keep going somewhere else. I noticed that the area it goes to is the same area that my camera goes to when I clicked on the motion icon (the one with the man running. Can I overwrite that position? I tried deleting all my presets, recalibrated the camera and even resetting my camera a few times already. I really need help cause the area that the camera choose as my motion area is not what I need. Thank you in avanced to all that take the time to answer me.

Hi, yes I can manually tilt up or down. I have the camera facing down on the stairs to the entrance of my house and saved as a home position. I went in to the motion detection section and made sure the position is the same as my home position (I hit apply just to be sure). I set my camera to go back to my motion detection area when idle for 5 minutes (I tried different values already). Within 5 minutes the camera would tilt back to the center (facing the street), but it seems that the panning position was saved. I can move the camera around. When I hit the home position the camsera would go back to where I want, but when I hit the motion button the camera would be in the same panning position, but with a different tilt position center). The reason I know its the center is because I tried resetting my default home position and it would go back to the center pan/tilt position. It seems the camera would not accept any tilt position other then the center... I can give you access to my camera if you would like. I greatly appreciate your time and effort in helping me.

* JMF PlugIn Effect/Codec Filter for Motion Detection : Source Example *

I have noticed some posts on here recently about reading a webcam�s pixel stream and as at least one example the processing of that data for robotics, or another for motion detection or tracking.
This can mean a requirement for fast frame processing, setting the datasource framerate, and to implement as easily as possible; eg a simple JMF effect or codec plugin to set on the processor.
I have a link as follows to some source and examples for such plugin effects, and some of you may find this interesting if not also useful.
See an updated http://www.exactfutures.com/index02.htm for the new download. Enjoy.

Pvc2300: false positive with motion detection

Hello!
I bought 3 pvc 2300 cameras. I tried motion detection with camera's software and with "Active webcam" software and I received a lot of false positive mails.
1. with camera's software, I set event with motion detection & sent mail, but I receive a lot of mail when there isn't motion (I saw registrations and images)
2. with Active WebCam software I use Linksys cameras and Panasonic Cameras. With Panasonic cameras all is ok. With Linksys cameras, about every hours there is a black frame, so I receive a mail from motion detection. Black frame arrive about every hours, after 60 minutes from last black frame. That is very strange!
I changed sensitivity, check frequency, number of frame at second, but I have same problem.
Can you help me?
Thanks
Mary

I have 2 Panasonic cameras too and I need one software to manage all cameras.
sensitivity: on active webcam software, I changed sensitivity of motion detection
frequency check: on active webcam software, I changed from check motion every 0,1 second to every 5 seconds
number of frame: on Linksys software I changed Max Frame Rate from 15 fps to 6 fps.

WVC210 with Motion Detection does not stay in the correct position

When I set the camera in a specific position (setting it as Home) and then I enable Motion Detection feature (setting area and sensibility using the home position); if i have set the "Disable Motion Detection while position is incorrect" with "Go to Motion Detection position if idle" option the camera will reset the tilt after the time set has expired.
Is it a known bug (I have not found anything about that here)?
Is there a way to set which is the motion detection position to be held?

Hi M.Bordoni,
I will pass this onto the wonderful folks at the Small Business Support Center to get their opinion.
Just out of interest, I'm guessing you are utilities built within the camera to send a image somewhere ?
Are you using the free Surveillance monitoring application to store captured video on your NAS/PC or server ?

WVC54GCA motion detection in utility setup not working

After reading this answer that basically says that if you use the web-based advanced setup for motion detection, your recording is limited to only 5 sec., I disabled motion detection in the web GUI, and decided to setup motion detection in the utiity setup windows.
I can't make it work correctly: I have firmware V1.00R24:
This is what I do: I check Enable Motion Detection Recording in the Network Camera screen. In Preferences, I set the Recording Path, set 10 secs Motion Detection record before and after motion detection. I have 15 GB of available disk space.
Under Recording Schedule, if I set a schedule, say, daily from 7am to 7:30am (or any other interval), it will record for the whole duration independently of any movement or lack of movement in the field. If I don't set a recording schedule, it won't record anything.
I am not interested in triggering emails or FTPs, which apparently can be done only with the Web GUI anyway. I just want to record 10 secs before and after every instance of detected movement.
Am I missing something?
Thanks for any suggestion.

Well, I am still struggling with this motion detection.
@Carrot: Linksys seems to say that the 5 second limitation is only for the web-based setup, which I didn't use. If you read this answer from their knowledge base, you will see they recommend using the utility to obtain longer recording times. In any case, when I follow their recommendation, I don't even get 5 seconds. The only thing that gets recorded are the intervals I specify in Recording Schedule, and then it records everything, motion or no motion. Without entering a recording schedule, nothing gets recorded.
In any case, if you have any specific third party software in mind that would do a better job with motion detection, please let me know. I have been using successfully YawCam, which works with USB webcams, but I haven't found a way to make it work with this IP camera.
I may endup using my own video software (using avisynth) to detect movement from full recordings.

WVC210 and Motion Detection/NAS Device

I was using the CSWVM Software (latest) with my WVC210 and leaving my PC on all the time. I had the camera recording 24x7 to a folder on my PC but only when it deteced motion. Thsi was working great.
I invested in a NAS device (QNAP TS-239 Pro II) and want to have all motion deteced recorded directly to the NAS so I can leave my PC off. Since without the PC on, I did all configuration thru the web interface. All I seem to lose access to is the scheduling. I can get the camera to record ALL activity to the NAS with no problems. While trying to get the motion detection working, it seems I can't get it to record anything to the NAS. I am fairly certain I have everything configured per the Admin guide but still nothing.
Under Applications/Motion Detection I have Enable Motion Detection in all positions checked and set the area as full screen and threshold in the middle. I do not get anything to record to the NAS even with the Enable SMB/CIFS Alert checkbox checked and NAS login, etc configured. The ONLY way I can get anythign recorded to the NAS is with the option under Applictions\SMB/CIFS cgecked (Enable SMB/CIFS Recording). With this set it records EVERYTHING.
In the sensitivity section, I rarely see the red bar appear even when action is in front of the camera. I am not sure why. I know this should work, any ideas why it is not?
Also, I noticed if I record to the NAS at 320x240 I get an AVI I can play in Win7 WMP with no problem. Using 640x480, the AVI is unplayable in WMP and I have to use VLC Player. Is the codec different depedning on the resolution?
Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I do have the interval set to 0 and have tried the slider on both ends. I have the slider set all the way to the left (on -) which provides the most sensitivity. I still don't not get all motion captured for some reason. For this reason, I am recording full time to the NAS.
I agree the web interface is lacking and I am not sure why it doesn't work the same as the software. If it did, I could only record on motion and capture what I need instead of just alerts or everything. With the software it was nice to capture motion and just get activity (and all of it from stop to start) recorded.
My NAS surveillence software does not handle the WVC210 but I have gotten it to record full time but with that option I get no audio so that is no good either. Motion from the NAS software didn't work all that great because camera is not supported with the NAS surveillence software.
Arrgh. I don't want to leave my PC on. If only the web interface worked like the software. The playback of 640x480 vs 320x240 in the web interface stinks too. It has to use different codecs.

VSOM 7 - Motion detection save button greyed out

Hi.
Would like to enable motion detection on my cameras (all are capable, a.e. CIVS-3520).
But after defining the motion areas (and exclude), the button below "save motion config" is greyed out.
I have enabled them in the camera settings screen (and via bulk).
Any idea?
Thanks for your hint.
Danny

Hmmm... What version (VSM and cam FW?).
Do they all adhere to a single common camera template that defines video motion? I haven't tried ... customizing the detection/exclude windows for a camera that's part of a larger template myself... just stuck with the generic 'full window'.
Have you tried marking one of the camera as unique (set template), and *then* adjusting it's VMD properties? Are you able to save it then?
It *may* be you can't modify/customize VMD window configs unless the camera is unique? :-S
Let me know!
Cheers,
Scott.

My WVC210 camera has lost its motion detection sensitivity

Motion detection with email alert has worked well for several month, but after I have installed a second camera it stopped functioning.
I can trigger an alarm by moving the cameras, but activity in front of the camera at some distance, will not trigger motion alert.
The position of the threshold "gliders" for sensitivity don't seem to have any effect of the sensitivity, using area 2 and 3.
Same problem with both cameras.
Is other control settings influencing on the motion detection sensitivity?
I have watched the red motion detection bar flashing, without any motion alert registered in the camera system log.
My video setting:
MPEG-4
Resolution: 640×480
Image Quality: Very High
Frame Rate: 30
MJPEG
Resolution: 640×480
Image Quality: Very High
Frame Rate: 30
Have somebody a solution for this problem?
Solved!

motion detection for wvc210 is not really advisable for outdoor use. the motion detection feature doesn't actually detect motion. it only compares frames to see if they are different. major difference between frames are assumed to be caused by moving object. make sure that the location where the device is located has proper illumination. try to re-adjust again the motion detection sensitivity.

WVC54GCA- Enable Motion Detection checkbox, unchecked after 3 hours.

Motion Detection E-Mail, fails after 3 hours.
I checked the Enable Motion Detection box. Filled in for E-Mail. Sending to a g-mail.
Sending from a smtp mail(att.net)Using smtp port number 587,and filled in outgoing mail server(smtp.att.yahoo.com).Filled in my account name and password. On new motion trigger schedule I filled in Every day 00:00-23:59(Wanted this to be active 24/7).Test E-Mail works on all 3 cameras. Also getting motion E-mails sent to my G-mail as mp4 files, I can watch. This is really cool. However, after 2-3 hours the Enable Motion Detection box is unchecked on all 3 cameras, and there is of course no more e-mails being sent. When I recheck the Enable Motion Detection box, all previously entered info is still stored. I hit apply and I’m up and running again.3 hours later the cameras have disabled the Enable Motion Detection again.
All 3 cameras are still working. I can see the video. It’s only the Motion Detection E-Mail part that disables itself after 3 hours.
I am using a Linksys WRT330N.No other wired or wireless network problems on home- network(with 4 desktops,3 laptops, wired and wireless printers,wii,ps3 and x-box 360)
Anybody know what I’m doing wrong?

Thank you for your greeting from Canada.(What a great Country!).
I have tried with timers(connected to cameras),turning them on and off(2/3 times in a 24 hour period).
I realy like the cameras,but software is terrible.(or is it the camera?).
E-mail notification falls out(disapears/is unchecked)once a day.
Even the Linksys Camera Utility cannot remember/recognize cameras between PC-shutdowns.
Hope Linksys can do something about this.
Cannot buy more of these,when they are so unreliable.
The point with a web-cam with motion detection,e-mail posibility would for me, be that it works every time.
Unfortunatly,this product does not..
Unless,somebody has found the solution.. .. .. ......... .. ?

PVC2300: Motion detect. suddenly not working

Hi!
Installed a PVC2300 last week, and everything was working well. But after adjusting its possition a bit this morning, the motion detection has stopped working.
Feel like I've tried everything to get it working again. Tried several changes in the settings, adjusting the threshold, reinstall the newest firmware (v.1.1.0), restore to factory settings, deleting stored videos, changing to full screen detection, but still no luck.
The camera is monitoring an open area. A person can walk across the area and not beeing detected by the camera, but sometimes records sequences where nothing happens.
Any idea?

Wow, that was alot of work to try to determine the cause. I was thinking something like light in the new position (especailly cause you say its recording when nothing happens). Can you try positioning it in the original position and see if it works better in that environment?
Do you use the camera GUI itself to paint the windows with sensitivity thresholds for motion detection using Internet Explorer with ActiveX?
Do you notice anything in the LOG file of the camera when there is motion that meets the criteria you set (it should always say motion detected and then FTP or HTTP or FTP logs depending on where you send the motion clips) itself.
