Positive Feedback on Home Monitoring

Building a new home and would like some real feedback on the Verizon Home Monitoring system. I've browsed online, but can only find negative reviews, as it's human nature to only voice negativie concerns. Seeking actual feedback from both satisfied and unsatisfied users of the system - however, I'd prefer postive feedback in this case. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

You can only find negative reviews online? Dude, what does that tell you?

I have rearranged all icons on the second and third pages to have a just a photo on my home, but if i switch off the iphone when i restarted it all the icons come back in the old position on the home and second page. I have ios5.

you can suggest it here - http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
And it is only a problem if you want a blank first screen. Personally, it would drive me nuts always having to swipe over one page to get to my apps - the only time I unlock my iPhone is to use it or run an app, so no, I have no need nor desire to have a first screen with no icons at all.
But, if they'd put it in as an option so people like yourself can also have what they want, that's fine too So send them your feedback (they actually do listen - iOS 5 includes a number of things people have been asking for on these forums, like being able to delete individual entries from the call history, inproved alerts/notifications, being able to opt out of all the location based data they collect,...).

IPad after update to 6.0.1 no longer stream video from my wireless Internet home monitoring camera. Help

I have a wireless-n Internet home monitoring camera system that before i upgraded to 6.0.1 streamed video. Does anyone have the similar issue who has fixed it?

I should mention that it no longer streams video. Duh.

Problem with home monitoring

On Home monitoring: We ordered the start up Kit go it, then I asked for some more things to go with it. But once we saw the bill we ask to send back some things. After we sent back some things Verizon still charged us as if we still had all the things we had ordered. A few months my wife {edited for privacy}talked to some one who misunderstood what was told to her. Our HMS was turned off and has not worked, we tried to get it back on but found out that we might have to reorder what we already have. This does not make since as we have the star up kit and if it was turned off it should be able to be turned back on with out getting what we already have.

Is it possible to use a Linksys By Cisco Wireless-G Internet Home Monitoring Camera with Labview

I was wondering if it is possible to use a 'Linksys By Cisco Wireless-G Internet Home Monitoring Camera' with Labview

I wan't to be able to get the raw data from the camera and analyse it.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Jam.Hall
I am somewhat hesitant to say you will be able to use this camera with LabVIEW. It all depends on what functionality you are wanting to utilise on the camera, and how much video you want to analyze.
- If you want to use the wireless functionality, I am concered that the on board web server will compress and embed the video stream. I do not beleive this is something we can access in LabVIEW.
- If you wish to use the ethernet connection, if it is Gigabit Ethernet, then you should be able to use our IMAQ for GigE driver to bring in the feed, but looking at the specs for the camera, I'm not sure that this is an option.
- My other suggestion might be to utilise the record video stream function that the camera has. Depending on the format of the video file, you may be able to read in the recorded file and analyse it in LabVIEW.
If you could explain the purpose of your application, and what you would like to achieve with the system, there may be more suitable products that you can use.
Kind regards,

Home Monitoring and Control with a third party also monitoring and controlling?

I was wondering if anyone has tried to install Home Monitoring and Control with a third party monitoring, and or controlling the same devices. I know many systems offer multiple control points such as auxilary control touch screens. Has anyone made this work? I have Z wave devices on my home security system (lighting), and would also like to monitor them via Verizon. Possibly also adding some energy monitoring and control, that is not available via my security company. My security monitoring company provide support through Alarm.com, but has limited energy monitoring to thermostat control and such.
The only interactive control with my security company is for alarm monitoring and control, with limited lighting control. All of my devices are GE in the wall mounted lighting controls, and I would prefer to pay Verizon the few extra dollars for the additional features VIA the web, rather than pay Verizon. There used to be an energy package, that included the main power panel load and I thing Thermostat, but I believe some of the bundles have been split up.
There are other options out there now, but I have neen exploring. My GE Switches are from the Lowes Iris system. Much less expensive, and can replace existing wall switches, not like the power cord switches. Plus the store is four miles from my house.

I started with Verizon home monitoring, but if you read through the threads the service is extremely unreliable, still to this day. I am stillusing it, although I am waiting for a refund on the services that I have used since it is so bad but I bought a MiCasaVerde Vera3 system. You pay appoximately $300 for the unit and there is no monthly charge and you get all the features plus pretty much unlimited types of z wave devices to use on it. I would seriously consider using that before Verizon.

Does the contoured move uses the PID parameters and position feedback?

Hello
I want to use the contourd move to generate a continuous movement,but i do not know if this kind of move just acst like a open-loop move .What i means is does it sends the target position directly to the DAC without the PID loop and position feedback?

The PID controller is still enabled when running the motor in
contouring mode. Otherwise you couldn't do any position control at all.
On a board level the only major difference between contouring mode and
any other mode is the source of the dynamic setpoints passed to the PID
loop through the spline engine. While in contouring mode the setpoint
information comes from the buffer in the onboard RAM, in other modes it
is dynamically calculated by the trajectory generator on the board.

Question about playlist content moving to different positions on the LCD Monitor

Hello Experts,
I'm trying to find out if there is a way to have the content move to different positions on the LCD Monitor. The presentation we have always has the contenrt in the same position on the screen. Other than creating multiple playlist and scheduliung them to play at different times I'm not sure how this can be done. But if anyone knows how this can be accomplshed please let me know.
Thank you ,

Ah! Found it.

Use iChat for home monitoring

Hello. I would like to use the video portion of iChat for home monitoring. Is it possible to access my home iMac camera, through iChat, from my workplace? To make things interesting, my Mac monitor at work does not have a built in camera and I have no external webcam. Is it possible for me to connect to my home camera through iChat even though I have no camera at work?
I look forward to hearing any ideas.
Thank you.

I was setting up my home computer for automatic video monitoring through iChat when I noticed something in the energy settings in system preferences. I wanted to have my screen saver in use or turn the monitor brightness all the way down to save my screen life. I also wanted to keep my computer awake so that I could have access to the home iChat account and computer/camera. However, if I set my Display Sleep and Computer Sleep settings to "Never" sleep, I receive the notice of "Never letting your display go to sleep may shorten its life".
So it seems no matter what, I may shorten the life of my monitor and I would most likely be increasing energy consumption by keeping my monitor and computer awake while I am away from home.
Is there anyway around this? If I used Screen Share (VNC), or any dedicated software like Vitamin D or EvoCam, would I still need to worry about my computer's energy consumption? I suppose if I really wanted a dedicated video monitoring setup I could use an external camera and external computer or server? I've read that some people use a Mac Mini for this, but thats seems like a waste of a Mac mini to me. I was really just planning on doing this occasionally to check in on my apartment.
Thoughts?
I will probably only video monitor a couple of times a week, so maybe the energy settings are nothing to worry about.

Any Positive Feedback for 2.01 ??

I am just curious if there is any positive feedback for 2.01. I am hesitant to change so quickly after the release.....but on the same token I have many different Apple products which I never have issues with. I come here often and read a lot of complaining posts. Don;t get me wrong, I think a lot of them are done like an adult trying to solve a problem and not just a ***** session......but there are equally if not more posts that just whine and curse the apple brand.....
Anyway, I have been lucky enough to not face the cursed updates on any of my apple branded equipment. Most install without incident and all are functioning at least as well as I would hope. I am leery however of new updates so I thought I would see who might be having positive results from the 2.01 update.
Thanks

Hasn't fixed the podcast art disappearing randomly from the favorites.
Hasn't fixed the "scroll off to nowhere" when you have 50+ podcasts in your favorites, then delete one, then scroll down to the end and the highlight box just disappears off the left side, never to be found again.
What a disappointment. I wish I could get my money back on this one, what a waste of time.

Seller is bargaining for positive feedback on item sold

I purchased a screen protector for a 3DS for $1.29 with shipping. The item came in a sealed package. One of the screens is larger then it should be, so I rechecked the listing and it clearly showed the protector fitting the inside edge of the screen. So I then emailed the seller, and asked him what he would suggest as a solution. He then offered me a 30% refund. My response was "Sure! for a neutral feedback and three stars!" He then asked if he gave me a refund, or sent me a replacement, would I give him a positive review? It is only $1.29, I mean when I ordered it, I thought no big deal if it's not what I expected. But I'm not giving a positive feedback for an item that was not as described. Do I let it go, and not post any feedback. Or accept the refund/replacement and post a positive feedback....when I don't think it was positive. I have a hard time lying...even if it just withholding the truth. OR....am I making too much of the situation? This seller had 14 Neutral, and 12 Negative feedback in the past month. Their positive feedback is 98.2Thanks....PS I could not figure out how to delete the spoiler box....that's why it's there

So I then emailed the seller, and asked him what he would suggest as a solution. He then offered me a 30% refund. My response was "Sure! for a neutral feedback and three stars!" He then asked if he gave me a refund, or sent me a replacement, would I give him a positive review? Although I don't think that feedback should have been mentioned at all, I'm not sure if ebay would rule that the buyer was using feedback extortion if the conversation happened as reported. The buyer was responding to the sellers offer of a partial refund, they weren't specifically attempting to force the seller to provide: Goods or services that weren't included in the original item's description or purchase price.A return, refund, or replacement item. If the buyer said they wanted a full refund or a replacement without returning an item then that would definitely be feedback extortion. The seller did break the feedback extortion policy when they asked the buyer if they would give a positive review for a replacement or refund. The seller can't require a buyer to leave positive Feedback, specific detailed seller ratings, or revise existing Feedback in exchange for a number of things, including, but not limited to:Receiving the purchased itemIssuing a full or partial refundMonetary compensationAdditional itemsOther goods and services not included in the original listing

Tuning a servo while encoder gives negative position feedback

I want to tune my servo motor (voice coil) manually in MAX. Stable step response is possible, but two problems occure:
1) When the step is done, the curve displayed on the "Calibration>Servo tune>Step response" tab shows an excitation step line from -70000 to the value I entered under "step length", although I reset the current position in the "1-D interactive" to zero beforehand.
2) No matter how I change the "step length" value or Ki, the motor step always goes from this above mentioned -70000 to +50000.
To facilitate any hint, mazbe this causes the problems: My encoder head is mounted the way that it gives back negative count values in the positive motor direction. Does this have to be changed or is it possible to also tune the servo with this negative encoder position feedback. Is it even possible the position feedback from - to + within MAX?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Customer solved the problem:
"Sehr geehrter Herr Wagner,
bzgl meiner Anfrage für die Regelung meines "Vertikal-Servos" habe ich
meine Probleme lösen können:
- Das Vorzeichen der Encoder-Counts konnte ich durch vertauschen der
Encoder-A-B-Polaritäts-Kabel am Encodereingang des Motor Drives umdrehen.
- Wie erwartet war es dann (wenn auch nur mit viel Geduld) möglich,
PID-Einstellungen zu finden, die meine Achse auch mit dem aufliegenden
Gewicht vertikal kontrollieren lassen.
Ihnen nochmals vielen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung.... Die nächsten
Probleme kommen für mich bestimmt.
Freundliche Grüsse,
Henri Hagenmüller"

Remembering app positions for single/dual monitor setups?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum--I'm not sure if this is Mac OS or application specific.
I'm running Mac OS 10.5.6. When I plug in the external monitor to my MacBook Pro, I setup Firefox and Entourage on my notebook monitor and Photoshop on the external. I also move the Apple menu bar to the external (since PS is my main app I like having the menu bar close by). Photoshop doesn't present a problem because I'm able to switch the layout for different workspaces (laptop alone or laptop and external), but I find that Firefox and Entourage don't remember their positions.
For example, my current setup is dual monitors as mentioned above. When I get home and power up the notebook, I'll launch all the same apps. Firefox is just barely within view hanging off the left side of the screen so I'll grab the window and drag it over so I can access the green button (not sure what this is called). Entourage displays just fine. When I get back to work the next day and plug in the external, Firefox displays on the external with the window sized to fit the notebook monitor) and I'll just drag it over. Entourage loads into the external as maximized and I'll drag it over and click the green button.
Is it possible for the apps to remember their positions depending on whether it's just the notebook or if I've connected an external monitor? Thanks in advance!

Guess it's in the right place now.
Unfortunately, I don't believe there's a way to do what you want.

"You have included content in your post that is not permitted" when trying to post very positive feedback about Apple.

So I spent 2 hours writing a huge post about how I love what Apple has done with the Audio/MIDI/Sound config tools in OSX.
I spent alot of time trying to be positive. And i get to the end and click "Post" - this stops me and gives me the following vague message:
"You have included content in your post that is not permitted."
I am not sure what this means or why it appeared. I used no negative content in my post, no cursing or trolling or anything... And i wouldn't try to troll or flame on these forums anyways. I've posted some problems I've had, which were all addressed very quickly by the way. And I've always said what I thought, but never just posted things to be negative.
And then after my post is rejected, i tried again. The discussion forums offered to restore my previous draft, but I clicked yes and nothing happened. Then the entire Discussions site pretty much stopped functioning... I tried closing reopening Chrome. I tried a completely new session in Chrome Incognito. I tried using Safari. None worked.
I was then offered a survey to take. I clicked "yes", and nothing happened. Then I looked at the Javascript Link for the survey and used the Chrome console to send the javascript anyways. And then it said the survey was behind my browser (it wasn't) and there was an "X" button to close the yellow notification at the top of the page. Then restarted my computer and it's finally working, but my post is still being rejected, which is ridiculous.
Anyways, went through alot to say something positive. That is the exact thing that gets to me though, it's the censorship. Why am I not allowed to say something good? Hopefully this one goes through...

I don't believe I'm circumventing any DRM/Copyright. I'm currently enrolled in a Harvard eDx Copyright Law class. As long as you are original and offer a minimum of creativity, you are eligable for a copyright, without any need for registration. But that's besides the point. I can see how it may have flagged the post though.
Ultimately, what I was trying to do at the time is play music using software that I own and stream this in online video. But the comment about streaming my personal music online is just an example of something awesome I can do with an Apple product.
Thanks for the link to the feedback page though. I'll go ahead and send it in.

Change position Contact or Home text in Flash Gallery

Perhaps I overlooked a possibillity, but I want to change the position of the Contact (or Home) text (in de upper right corner of a Lightroom Flash Gallery) to the left upper corner. Or to the center. Anyone any idea how to realise this? Thanks in advance.

Looking at the accessible XML files, I can't see that this is possible even through minor hacking. For more information about what you can do with the Flash gallery, have a look at http://blog.bluefire.tv/?cat=13
