Motion detection on WVC80N

Is there a way to configure the motion detection on the WVC80N without IE/ActiveX? I don't always have access to a windows machine so ActiveX isn't a great solution for me.

Motion detection basic feature is to capture the image file and mail it on your Email address whichever you have used while configurring your camera.
login to your setup page and click on the setup tab and then Enable Motion Detection input all the required information and click on save settings, once there is any activity infront of your camera it will capture that image and mail it you.
You can follow this link and it will help you in setting you Motion Detection .

Motion Detection on WVC80N - not working

I've got the WVC80N camera setup on wired ethernet and everything is working fine with the exception of Motion Detection alerts. I've updated the firmware to the latest Ver.1.0.01
I can get test emails from the camera without any issues so I know that my SMTP server is working. I'm also logging all the traffic being sent from the camera so I can see the SMTP server being accessed when I send test emails and the camera tells me it was successful sending the email. However beyond that, I cannot get the camera to send me a email with video or email.
Here is what I have configured:
Enabled Motion Detection = checked
Attachment Type = JPEG (I've also tried video, neither work)
Frame rate = 1 (I've tried multiple settings, none have worked)
Pre-Caputre Length=0 (I've tried multiple settings, none have worked)
Post-Capture Length=2 (I've tried multiple settings, none have worked)
Action(s): E-Mail = checked
Sent to: My email address
Show From As = My email address
Subject = Motion Detection
SMTP Port = 25
SMTP Mail Server = checked with my SMTP server defined
New Motion Trigger Schedule = Currently nothing defined. I've also tested using Everyday 01:00 - 24:00. Neither has worked.
Any ideas? I'm lost
Thanks

I'm having the same problem. Tried Cisco live chat but no solutions worked.
Used SMTP port numbers suggested by the mail server and others (25, 465, 587, 80, 110) - nothing. Tried two different providers, Gmail and SBC Global, using their suggested settings - nothing
Tried the camera firmware upgrade - didn't help.
I have run out of ideas. To say the least, this is getting very annoying.

Just want to record motion detect video with WVC80N

All I want to do is record motion detected video while I'm at work and view it when I get home. I don't want remote access and I don't care about email notifications. Does someone have some SIMPLE instructions for how to get this working? I've read many of the posts on this forum and found all kinds of complex setups involving multiple webpages and port forwarding, etc., etc. I just can't believe it's this complicated just to set up something simple. BTW -- I have no problem viewing live video either through the camera utility or via web browser. I can do instant recordings, but no motion detected video. IMHO the camera itself is great, but the support is pathetic. Camera utility program is terrible.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you want to record motion detected video for WVC80N then install your Internet Home Monitoring Camera with the disk here is the link - http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=20543&userrole=Links... .
Then open up the Linksys Wireless-N IP camera has a built-in web-based setup. Here is the link for Installing WVC80N using the Web-Based Setup Page:
http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=22473&userrole=Links...
After doing all the procedure open up the utility and click on settings tab and click on browse and select the the destination where you want to save the recorded files..

WVC80N - Motion Detection

WVC80N working okay with the exception of motion detection emails after Verizon changed SMTP port from 25 to 465. Curiously, the "Test E-Mail" works OK with port 25 listed and cam successfully sends test email out. However, WVC80N will not send motion detected emails with JPG or AVI attachments using default port 25. When I changed the motion detection email SMTP port in the WVC80N to the new Verizon 465, the Test E-Maill fails. My regular email is working okay - no problem sending or receiving.
The WVC80N was worked okay in ever respect prior to the Verizon SMTP port change to 465.
Has anyone else experienced same issue.
Does anyone have a solution.

There are some ISP's that consider this as SPAM that's why it will be auto blocked. It's better if you check this with Verizon.

WVC80N Motion Detection / E-mailing

My Camera is able to work on my Network and I am having problems to have the Motion Detection to work properly by send my Images/recordings to my e-mail address. Can someone plese help me!
a. I have the Latest Firmware Loaded onto Camera.
Questions:
1. Does the computer that has the router connected to it have to be ON 24/7 in order for this to route images/recordings to my e-mail address? If it does ... does not make sense ... WHY???

In sending Motion Detection Emails using your Wireless-N Internet Home Monitoring Video Camera, you need to configure some settings in its web-based setup page.
NOTE: Ensure that your camera is connected to the network and the Internet before you start configuring the Motion Detection settings of your camera.
Here is the link for setting up Motion Detection Emails using a WVC80N: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=7729342e5543474ea29f15da303b7923_How_do_I_send_Mot...
Well, computer need not have to be turn on all the time but make sure the router should remain turned on to get the wireless connectivity as well as to get the active Internet connection to route images/recordings to your e-mail address.

Live! Cam Voice Shuts Down When Using Motion Detection Feature

I'm running XP Media Center 2002.
I just installed Live! Cam Voice. Started using it and is was fine out of the box. I updated the drivers and i also decided to update the drivers for my SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS.
The problem only seemed to occur when using the Motion Detection. Shortly after using it, I'd get a Microsoft error prompting the WebCam Center to shut down.
First I uninstalled the software and reinstalled it using the original drivers on the supplied disk. I still had the problem. So i rolled back the drivers on my sound card. That seems to have fixed the problem... Thought you'd want to know.
To be clear the Cam driver I'm using is .0.8.206. I believe this is the one that came w/ the install disk. Hope this helps anyone else who's experienced similar problems.....

I have the same problem. I only get 6-7 fps max. I've never seen anything above 0 fps which is a disgrace. My computer is and Athlon64 X2 4800 with 2GB RAM so it's nothing to do with spec. This behaviour was the same in driver version .0.8 as well as the latest one... .0.02 or something.
Also, since the last driver update, the whitebalance and focus when on automatic is dreadful. I'm not impressed.

Start recording video at a set time of day and off at a set time of day, and or can start rec video when motion detected, till no motion detected for a set period

is there an app for iphone which can be set to start recording video at a set time of day and off at a set time of day, and or can start rec video when motion detected, till no motion detected for a set period. basically someone is vandalising my vehicle and i really really want to catch the mongrel
thanks for any suggestions

PVC2300 - Alternative to Motion Detection Event / FTP Upload

Hi Cisco Community,
My apologies if I am not posting this in the correct section / allowed to post here.
I've got a PVC2300 mounted inside a pelco enclosure that is positioned 6 meters high. Sometimes the motion detection event doesn't work to well (this is due to the fact that its in an enclosure and pointed out towards the ocean at a beach location).
Also the motion detection event is pretty much useless at night without surrounding illumination.
In Australia we also have severe lack of broadband speed and also download allowance, therefore it is not practical to broadcast streaming video (we would get charged excessive fees for exceeding download quotas and only one person could view the camera at any one time).
I've written a custom windows service that reads the PVC2300's MJPEG stream over http at a specified interval and saves a single .JPG file in which the windows service uploads the .JPG file to a specified website. This means that you will always get an updated image from the camera every 5 minutes, rather than based on motion detection. It would have been nice if cisco / linksys implemented this within the camera's firmware (maybe in a future version?).
Anyway, communities share things with each other, so i've made the software freely available to anyone who wishes to use it. I would appreciate any feedback from Cisco / Linksys.

You came to the right place and thats a very cool post IMO.
First, thanks for using Cisco Small Business products and you can look forward enhancements and options in our line, of course. I think I noticed your other post mentioning you are in Australia? We have a few really top BU folks (TMEs and Biz Dev) down under and they are very active in the BU solutions area for Small Business. Do you know Leah Davis and Dave Harper (they are Participants on this community as well)?
In any event, I think compressed streaming is a very valid design idea and we are actually looking at similar partners in the US experimenting with the same. In one Partners case he has a lightweight application (java) that runs on your mobile and allows all the mobile streams to come compressed from a server farm.
Typical use case is a Day Care where 15 parents want to watch the same camera, and the compression benefit becomes crucial in scale. But your case is a financial one (therefore good too) where you would have to pay for streaming video.
While we dont offer this today (the external managed service that is), I am sure you have played with the camera GUI and realize you can try some of the following to reduce bandwidth
1- lower quality of video (resolution, FPS, illuminate Audio, etc)
2- reduce motion detection size (seconds)
3- Purchase a local NSS2100 or NSS3x00 to store High Quality video on the LAN and only alert for motion via email (not realy friendly for remote monitoring I admit).
For sensitivity in an enclosure, have you played with Sensitivity settings thresholds in the Camera GUI under motion detection?
For night illumination without an external IR Illuminator, have you tried the 'night schedule', which activates (or deactivates) the IR Cut Filter?
For the periodic updates, I'll let Davin Oishi comment as he is about ready to announce the PVC300 and I know it offers a browser based periodic refresh and I am not sure how far he has extended that to an API for external access.....
Thanks for your post

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.

WVC210 Motion detection.

Hello again.
I can't switch off the motion detection using the push-button on web page (see pic). It's works fine (I receive the intrusion file by e-mail) but when I click on pulse, the motion detection don't stop the service.
Please, help me!!
Tks.

Hi Paolo,
I have a WVC210 and took a peek at this when I saw your post.
I am actually running motion detection from the FREE SWVMS16 on a separate PC and also streaming FTP motion detection from the camera to an NSS, because as you probably observed, the email file attachments are alot and cost money (since they are so big) if they come to your mobile :-(
So just wanted to mention that that to me is the prefered way to manage up to 16 cameras and can be used remotely as well (just beware of the WAN bandwidth requirements).
But that button with the pulsing man on it. That button really only is used"to have the camera moved to the previously defined Motion Detection area" per the on line help.
As you probably learned, to enable and disable motion detection, you have to switch focus to a different screen.
But the SWVMS16 has this button as you require. Where you can see the cameras and can enable/disable, while watching them all.
perhaps you should try this (again, its free). You download it from the same place you find camera Firmware.
let me know what you think?

Motion Detection on Linksys WVC54GCA

Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
I would appreciate if someone could help me with this.
I am trying to configure this camera to record onto my network drive via FTP on a schedule - for example 9 - 5 each day.
Can recording be done based on these entered times or does motion have to be detected?
I have copied a screenshot of my settings at below url:
http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/15/settingsr.jpg
I have tried with passive mode enabled and disable and tried recording with a shorter internal between start and end times.
FTP credentials are correct, along with IP. I can access both locally and via the internet.
Thanks for your help.

The motion detection should be enable and the motion will be detected with-in the specified period of time.

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 ?
regards Dave

WVC54GCA - over sensitive motion detection, has anyone solved it yet?

My cams spam my mail account whenever I have motion detection enabled, the images it sends aren't anything to do with motion. This seems to be a common issue with these.
Has anyone got it working correctly?

Try upgrading/reflashing the firmware of your Camera. Follow this link .
After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the Camera to factory defaults, then setup the Camera again from scratch.
To reset the Camera press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your Camera, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your Camera...
