Small Business Video Monitoring System SWVMS16 - Preset Point Deletion Issue

When using the Video Monitoring System with a PVC-300 camera, I created a Preset Point with the name "Bev and Al's Place" The apostrophe has caused issues. The preset point will not work, and now I cannot get rid of that preset point. I have tried using the single clear preset point option, the "clear all" for preset points, plus uninstalled the Video Monitoring System, deleted all the files that I think were related to the software, plus removed the registry variables that comprised the preset point that I found in there.
Any Ideas as to how to get rid of that preset point? There must be a file that is lurking around or some other registry setting?

Hey Dave,
Thanks for looking into this, but this is not the case. I did not mention that I did a camera reset to factory on the configuration too, thus wiping out all the presets that were on the camera too. The only place that still has presets configured now is in SWVMS16 and I have only one right now and that is the one that I cannot delete. What is also interesting is that when I configured the preset as "Bev and Al's Place"....the preset is listed as "Bev and Al"...it dropped all the characters after the apostrophe.
There has to be a file or registry that is picking this up. I did reset the camera to factory, uninstalled the SWVMS16, removed registry settings that contained the presets, and deleted all data and program files too that were related to SWVMS16.
After, what I thought I cleaned up all the files, I reinstalled only the SWVMS16 software and not the camera installation wizard, and the management software found the camera and when I clicked on presets within SWVMS16, the one still remained, "Bev and Al". There has to be a registry setting or a file in an obscure location that is holding onto this data. Just haven't found it yet.
When I opened a web page to the camera directly, there were no presets in the list there.
Still no solution to this issue. Looks like a defect in using the apostrophe in preset list names.

Linksys video monitoring system - SWVMS16 - PROBLEMS

New to this forum - old Linksys user.
I purchased a WVC210 camera several months ago and I have been using it to remotely monitor my home while away visiting family thoughout the country. It has been working flawlessly.
I just decided to install the Video Monitoring System that came with the camera initially. It is the 1.0 version. When I try to run the program I get past the password window by typing admin as both the username and password. I then get an error message saying that there are "missing or corrupt resource files - must reinstall the system to solve this problem" . I reinstalled the system and got the same error.
I then downloaded and installed the newer version (1.2) of the system and get the same error message. What am I doing wrong?
TIA for any assistance or advice - TomF

I am running 2002 version of XP Media Center Editon w/SP2. I believe that this OS is basically XP Pro.
This is the only computer that I would be interested in using this utility on, so it would be fruitless to try it on any of my other computers.
Thanks - TomF

LINKSYS VIDEO MONITORING SYSTEM 2.0.2.1 SWVMS16

I have been using this software for quite sometime, very good, but my external HD failed and i had to get a replacement.
Unfortunately, when I tried to use the monitoring system again, it was asking for my password, which i forgot. I have uninstalled the software few time and tried to re install, but everytime it is asking for my password. Is there a way to re install the software and give another username and password. Or could i just delete the file that contains the username and password and re create a new one. thanks for your help

Hi Noelandre42,
Browse to Program Files\Cisco\Video Monitoring System. Look in that folder for RegEx.exe. If the file is there, open it and select Invalidate Password. This will allow you to use the default password: admin
If the RegEx.exe file is not in the folder, please call Small Business Support and ask for assistance. If the person you speak with is not sure where to get the file, please reference this post and I can assist.
You can find a support number at the following link: www.cisco.com/go/sbsc

PVC2300 - Video Monitoring System (3 urgent questions)

Hi there,
I'm pretty sure these questions have been asked before - but could not find answers to these.
Setup:
When running a Video Surveillance setup, with up to 16, PVC2300 cameras connected to the Video Monitoring System (LBAVMS16):
1. Does the PC running LBAVMS16 need to be "on" all the time for the video feed to be stored on a NSS device?
2. Is there any difference between the "old Linksys" monitoring software and "LBAVMS16"?
3. Can you run a mixed camera (WVC2300 and PVC2300) environment using "LBAVMS16"?
I have a partner testing the solution and I would guess they are not the only ones facing these same questions.
Many thanks in advance!

Hello,
First, you want to use SWVMS16. Its the newer Small Business Software Video Monitoring System that will work with WVC210, PVC2300, WVC2300, and PVC300 (new).
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/solutions/small_business/products/security/small_business_video_surveillance_cameras/index.html
The 'latest' version you will find here is 1.0.0, but when we announce the PVC300 orderable, that should go to 1.0.1.
Please upgrade both the PVC2300 and WVC2300 to 'Camera' FW version 1.0.1 for it to work with SWVMS16.
This SW is free so just come back and check in the coming weeks for the update.
The older LBAVMS16 will not support the PVC300 and has the old Linksys SKIN and is actually a different SW completely.   The newer one is the Cisco small business offering we will have going forward.   The older SW would allow you to set up the motion detection and then it would run in the task bar, and it would record as motion occurred, even though it was not open.
The new SWVMS16 has a concept of a MAIN console (role based access) and after you define the 'Always' on or 'Motion Detection' configuration, you will then need to click on START/STOP in the Recordings GUI Drawer and select START RECORDING SCHEDULE and then all the cameras will have a Green LED indicator on the screen showing they are active and ready and will follow the configuration.   You can minimize it at this point, but you cant close it. CLosing it will stop the schedule.   The datasheet should show the PC requirements to run this application, and to be honest, if you have more than 4 cameras, this is not a part time task. Of course, it will depend on the Video quality you set up on each camera, but you will find monitoring 8 cameras will use your CPU and Memory (run the Windows Task manager to see). This is why for 16 cameras, we recommed a very powerful PC with alot of RAM.
I am running a Dual Intel Core 2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz Machine with 1 GB or RAM and with 4 cameras at Highest quality it runs at 45-55% CPU utilization, just as an example.    So the point is this PC should be pretty much dedicated to this function of monitoring, recording, playback.
Now keep something else in mind. The Cameras (all of ours) dont need the SWVMS16 to do motion detection to NSS, or EMAIL. The cameras themselves can FTP (client) motion detection (MPEG4 or MJPEG) direct to NSS (FTP server) or SMTP Mail. Its configured on the Camera.   And with a PC Browser, you can monitor the Camera, or QuickTime, etc. The SWVMS just makes it easy to monitor them all in one place with all the convenience and functions you would use in a SMB. So technically SWVMS16 is not needed to operate motion detection to the NSS, but if you are running SWVMS, then yes, it needs to be on.
In fact, I run BOTH on my cameras. That is, I have them set to FTP to my NSS, and I also have them monitored by SWVMS. Our Cameras are dual stream, dual codec, and have no problem with this, and can be monitored from up to 10 HTTP servers as well (RTSP increases that), which is usually enough.
An interesting twist, which is also practiced and supported, is defining the NSS File Share as the SWVMS16 Video Storage location. Just another option to consider.
Hope this clarifies a little?

Video Monitoring System

I have just downloaded the Cisco Video Monitoring System. The look and feel are GREAT! BUT... I cant seem to figure out how to make it work for me
I have 2 monitors i would like the Cisco Video Monitoring System on SCREEN #2 not Screen #1.. and there are no setting in the program to make this happen or at least i have not found one. I have tried to run the program with the argument -window and it does not seem to respond to that does anyone have a work around for this? to make this program work for me i must be able to work on screen 1 and have the cisco monitoring program on screen #2 Please help!!!!! ASAP

I am not 100% I understood the question so let me restate it to be sure.
You have a IP based video camera and you want to know if you can use a dynamic DNS service to remotely manage/view the camera.
As long as the video camera is IP based then the use of a dynamic DNS service to remotely access it is possible. In order to do this there are a couple critical steps to make sure happen.
1) Setup the camera so it can be accessed locally via a static IP
2) Configure your border router, for SMB this is usually the firewall, to forward the correct traffic to the camera. If you only have 1 global ip address then you may want to look at PAT aka NAT overloading. If you have multiple global ip adddress' then using 1 via NAT is probabally your best option. Make sure that when your doing this step you also create the access-list rules to allow the traffic to pass.
Now steps 1 and 2 is what you would normally do for any connection from outside the office. The next step is where dynamic DNS will come into play.
3) Setup your dynamic DNS entry. This step will vary from vendor to vendor but generally the people who use a Dynamic DNS service only have 1 Dynamic IP address. If this matches your situation then you can place the dynamic DNS client, or whatever the service uses to identify your current ip address, on a workstation or server that is using the same global ip as the camera. Normally this means anywhere, but if you have more than 1 dynamic global address then be aware of where it is going as you don't want the wrong ip populated for dynamic dns.
Now your done. You should be able to go to access it from your dynamic dns entry i.e. securitycam.dynamicdnsservice.com

Cisco Video Monitoring System won't connect

Hi,
I have two PVC-300 cameras and I'm using the Cisco Video Monitoring System. I installed the Monitoring System to my laptop and everything worked fine.
Now I'm tring to install it to our receptionist's laptop (with same config file) and it won't work. I've even re-installed Windows and still nothing. I can ping both cameras and I can even login to the web-based GUI, but I can't get the video feed to show from the Monitoring System. The Monitoring System's search finds both cameras, but won't show the video feed. It just keeps "Connecting..."
All the devices are on the same network/subnet. The cameras are on v.1.0.1.13 and Video Monitoring System on v.1.2.1. The laptop (Sony Vaio) runs WindowsXP SP3.
What to do, what to do?

Take note of the section "Network".
RTP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_Transport_Protocol
The issue could be a couple different problems, but the most likely is that RTP traffic is not allowed by the firewall. Since they are on the same subnet it is most likely a software firewall. Like windows firewall.
Make sure the systems have windows firewall disabled and retry. If it works you can re-enable the windows firewall and then configure it properly. Here is a article that lists some information that may help you configure the firewall properly:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/serve/firewall.aspx
Much of that document is for windows media server, but windows media server uses the same ports and such as the camera. (thats from memory)

Can't Access WVC200 with the Cisco Video Monitoring System

I have contacted the help desk but nothing is forthcoming.
I need help to configure a WVC200 to with the Cisco video monitoring system. In the camera configuration there is no drop down item for a Linksys wvc200 camera only the WVC210 camera. Thus access is not possible. With my other camera WVC 210 there is no problem. Who can help?
Also the Cisco video monitoring system cannot reduce in size (drag smwller) but only full screen or nothing.. how can I move the monitor to my other video screen.
Mike

Steven
I know it is not a bug and that WVC 200 is not supported anymore but I find that a lame excuse. I only bought this 18 months ago and now Cisco does not support this. If it had been 5 years ago then I could accept.
Why you can't add a wvc200 template in the Cisco video monitoring systemn I just do not know.
Even the latest WVC200 fireware is only released this year.

Forgot the password of Video Monitoring System

Hi There,
How can I change the password for the admin account of the Cisco Video Monitoring System? I have to hold a demo next week and I forgot the password and I cannot get in. I Tried to uninstall the software but still requires the same username password, it wont let me give new password during the installation.
Please advise!
Thanks,
Gergely

Hi Gergely,
We have heard of this happening before.
Yeah, if you dont see the login screen prompting you to set a PW, then there is one set.
1st time install looks like this...
So this means you probably need to reset the user account via registry, here is the steps and let me know if this can fix it:
(Always consult with your System Administrator if not famaliar with this).
Uninstall SWVMS SW. Then...
1.       Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the open box, and then click OK
2.       Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NUUOIP\UserAccount
3.       Double click on file UserCount, and change value data box to 0, and then click OK
This should allow you to reinstall and reset password for access to SWVMS (NUUO under the covers).
I hope this helps.

Video Monitoring System - Linksys by Cisco

Hey all. I have Video monitoring software, with 7 WVC2300 cameras. I can access each individual camera over the web, no problem. I can RDP to the server running the software no problem (a little choppy). My question is. Can you connect directly to the software over the web? If so how do you set this up? What ports to open?
Thanks in advance.

I think this portion is discussed thoroughly in Chapter 5 “Installing and Using the Viewer and Recorder Software” section of the WVC2300 user guide. If incase you have no copy, you can download it in this link:

How to do Video monitoring with javaFX2.0

I want to do a video monitoring System with javaFx2.0 but i don,t know how to do it , who can help me ?thanks!

Camera control is a big one for me too (snapshots, more than video). I have a tablet application that needs to take photos out in the field and store them. It's a borderline show-stopper actually, although I'm hoping I can do something hacky with some background stuff and facade my own GUI over the top of it. The OP may find something like this works for them too. Check out this for some tips: http://www.mutong.com/fischer/java/usbcam/
There's been a lot of work done in the JMF space (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/index-jsp-140239.html). Does the JFX team need to re-implement all this? Can't we just integrate with what's there?
As an aside, 2013 is a fair way off and if JFX is wanting to compete in the 'gaming' space, camera and audio control will be important (e.g. http://www.smartfoxserver.com/ has a video API and it's used for [url http://www.littlespaceheroes.com/]Club Penguin or [url http://www.littlespaceheroes.com/]Little Space Heroes - would be great to see things like this come across to JFX - one platform for everyone!).

The number of client access licenses may be reset to five in Windows Small Business Server 2003

Ran into an issue on the server after the power loss.
My Client Access Licenses were reset to 5 with Maximum usage of 12. I have about 25 PC's and Server also hosts exchange, which now prevents users from accessing OWA and local profiles. After digging around and reading logs, I eliminated issue to the licensing.
All the steps described in the Article ID: 888818 do not work, since the licenses were never backed up in the first place. Resetting, did not help either, since it's looking for a file, we don't have.
Additionally, the auto-populated solutions, were already tried with no success.
Please let me know if there is a way to restore licensing via original license key, provided on the machine, or I have to purchase it.
Thank you for your time.

Can I use my Office 365 for small business version of Sharepoint to develop a type of Business Database Management System?

We have an excel sheet that job enquiries are logged into, estimates and a quote are produced, upon receipt of an order a job is started and once completed gets invoiced. Standard business workflow stuff, can I get 365 to automate this?
I would like to be able to upon a new enquiry being entered and an order received, a set of job folders are automatically created using a unique number from the excel sheet as its job number. These folders would have certain document templates within
them for use on the related job.
I have been experimenting with Zoho Creator to develop a system to do this, but as we have adopted 365 (small business version) it would be preferable to be able to do this all in one place.
Any help or advice greatly appreciated.
Chris

Hi Chris,
As I understand, you would like to create a management system to create folders via number in Excel sheet.
In my view, we could import the Excel sheet to a list, then use workflow to get number and create folders.
Here is a forum specific for Office 365 SharePoint for your reference, please confirm the plan with support engineer there just in case:

Remote Access to Windows Small Business Server System via VPN

Same old story: I use macs at home but I want to be able to connect to our small company Windows network over the internet to pick up and put down files.
Said company network consists of a server running Microsoft Small Business Server and Exchange. The data sits on some network drives (Z: etc, you know the sort of thing).
I've sorted out email access - I just connect to the Exchange Webmail interface and do all that using a web browser at home.
Now for data: well, I have successfully connected to our company network using VPN PPTP by following the guidance in Pogue's Missing Manual. The VPN window reports that I am connected to ip 192.168.0.150 which our network guru tells me is the address of the "Internal virtual network adapter on the VPN." The actual server PC with the data on it is at .100.
Now, he's a great guy and everything but is definitely a Microsoft man only. When I asked him how to browse our network files on the server he told me to set up a network share using Windows explorer.
So..can anyone please advise how I can translate that action into OSX land? I have searched the Apple support papers but with no success. These days most hits for VPN concern the blessed iPhone....
I have tried in the finder running connect to server and typing in smb://servername. That returns error code -36 "the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [that address] cannot be read or written". I have tried using the company lan IP address for the server instead and that returns "name or password is not correct".
I appreciate these things often depend completely on the fine details of our setup. If nothing else, does anyone know a good book to assist here - Pogue is a great basic guide but not really detailed enough for this sort of thing. Failing that, how do I find out what error -36 means? Ta.

In 26.0, how do I put Download, Bookmarks, History, and Tags into separate windows? I have multi-monitor system and place these different windows . . .

Hello,
I recently, decided to upgrade from 19.0b to the current (26.0) version, as "Tab Utilities" now supports 26, but am finding one of the visual changes counter productive. My two workstations have multiple monitors. One has 2 monitors (2560x1600) and the other one has 4 monitors (2560x1600). On both workstations, I'll place the various Firefox informational windows off the "main monitor" (the one directly in front of me). This way they're available to me at a glance.
(Side note: I refer to my monitors, as 2L, 1 2R and the 4th as "auxiliary.") The one thing I miss most is being able size these Firefox windows independently and in different positions.
I mean I'm used to seeing "Download" on monitor 2R on the right side (1/8 of screen) behind Microsoft Process Explorer's System Information. While the History will be on monitor 2L on the right side at 1/4 of the screen). I'm used to glancing out my right eye at the downloads and when needing something from the past, it's right next to the main monitor #1. This way I can access history quickly.
I can see why a developer (with one monitor say 1920 x 1080) would love seeing one window, but why can't Firefox support both single and multiple monitor users at the same?
Anyway, is there a way to get 26.0 to place at least "Download" and "History" in separate sizable windows?
(I'm not jumping up and down to go back to 19.0b or to try 25, but would like to stay current.)

Hello,
Thank you for your very quick reply. Before I read your reply completely, let me see if I can answer your first concern.
> Maybe I am missing your point.
Maybe I'm not making the point properly. Honestly, I never explained the issue from how it is directly affecting me.
OK, let's do a real world example of what I'm seeing on my two monitor system. I'll first describe what I experienced with 19.0b and earlier, which is IMHO how it should work in 26 and beyond ('''''as an option'''''). Next, I'll review what I'm seeing in 26.0. Hopefully this will help you understand what changed, from a practical perspective.
In 19.0b (and how I like working) for a multiple monitor system:
On the main monitor, I'm running Firefox. It is 1920 x 1080 and is in the lower right hand corner.
On the the monitor to my right (2R), I have the Download Manager list of downloading and downloaded file. It is in the upper right hand corner and takes up about 300 x 1500 pixels.
For a two monitor system, I have the History List running beside Firefox in the lower right hand corner and it is 600 x 1080.
For a three (plus) monitor system, I have the History List running on my left (2L) monitor. It is in the lower right hand corner and is 600 x 1080 pixels big.
For 26.0: I'm seeing the following:
On the main monitor, I'm running Firefox. It is 1920 x 1080 and is in the lower right hand corner. (This is the SAME as with 19.0b.)
When I start the Download Manager and have it set up as I do for 19.0b, it looks OK. It is on monitor 2R and is 450 x 1500 pixels (because of the new navigation side bar).
'''''The problem STARTS NOW (when I start the History List).'''''
When starting the History List, it replaces the Download Manger on the 2R monitor in the 450 x 1500 pixel window. This doesn't work for me because:
1) It is too far away to see. (NOTE: I put it on the 2L monitor in the lower right hand corner. so I can see it easier for the 3+ monitor. In the case of the 2 monitor, I put it beside Firefox again to see it easier.)
Some might ask, but the Download Manager is on the 2R and right side, why can't the History List be there too? Good question, and I can only reply saying:
1) Personal choice.
2) The Download Manager is NOT as busy as the History List and I find it easy to read.
3) The History List is a lot busier and the font size looks to be smaller (might be the same, but it looks smaller to my eyes). I need it closer to me / Firefox.
What I'm saying is this . . . The Download Manager and History List have <ul>''valid reasons to be visible to the user at the same time''.</ul> They also need to be independent of one another for (at least) size and location.
Combining them together is OK for some people, but NOT for everyone. Please make it an option to combine (as in 26) and separate (25 and earlier).
I'm not sure this is the best way to put it, but here goes. Allow users to collapse or expand these various lists by using multiple windows. One window is the collapse view and multiple independent windows is the expand view.
I'll read and comment on the rest of your reply, soon. Thanks for allowing me hopefully to explain my point in a better manner. :-)
