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.

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 ?

ITunes is taking ages to boot and wont detect my devices please help

I am having major issues with iTunes. Im running on a Dell inspiron 1525 with running iTunes Windows Vista 32bit. My devices are iPhone4 and iPad3 all running 5.1.1. And there are no other devices connected or any other accounts open on laptop. And ive done a full scan using McAfee for Virus's
When i launch itunes (even running as admin) it takes several minutes to open. The loading cursar appears on desktop for around 3 minutes, then the iTunes tab appears in taskbar however its none responedent. A few minutes later it will open up. I can access everything as normal but when i plug any of my devices in iTunes doesnt detect any of them. Windows detects they are plugged in bringing up the "autoplay" and they are there in "computer" but itunes will not detect. When i run diagnostics all reports come back green including the USB check but the device check come back red.
The only changes that have been made since i was last able to use iTunes succesfully have been all devices updated to 5.1.1 (via the software update in the iPhone/iPad settings not via iTunes) and a connection upgrade from standard sky broadband to sky fibre ( so new router and Openreach Modem) and i have also reserved a static ip for my wifi connection. but if switched of the wifi and laptop rebooted and no diffrence so i dont think this has anything to do with it.
Ive tired uninstalling iTunes,Apple Devices,Quicktime etc and rebooting and reinstalling but it does exactly the same thing. Its driving me crazy now to the point im debating a full reinstall of laptop. I just know from previous problems with iTunes that it will be something silly and trivial conflicting with it. Ive googled to find others with the exact same problem but cant find any soloutions.
If anyone has any answers i would be soooooo very greatfull.
Thanks

hi, Thanks for your message... yes I used the Kodak disk to remove the printer so it was completely uninstalled as it has Bonjour on it as well (which I think has been causing a seperate issue with Iphoto loading every time I turn on my mac.
I had a play yesterday, uninstalled Kodak printer, ran PRAM, ran disk utility to check everything was ok and I was still getting that dodgy white screen with black characters on it so I then tried reinstalling SL and it seems to have helped slightly.. boot is still A LOT slower than it was with Leo but it's only about a minute now instead of 5!!
I will take a look at the Kodak website and see if there's anything there... thanks

Video capturing and motion detection

is it possible to capture video and detect motion using a web cam in a web based application?how is it done?
if not possible, what solutions can you suggest so that i can put it on a web based application?
tnx for the help..

the same as the other post so let's stay on the other...

Windows 8 backup (Win7 File Recovery system image) creation to NAS device fails with error 0x807800C5

Hi,
I have a ZyXEL NSA310 NAS device on my network that I use for backups (as well as a media server). I have been very happy with it as, amongst other things, it has a gigabit Ethernet connection. I recently upgraded my home laptop from Win7 Pro to Win8
Pro. Under Win7 the NAS device worked perfectly as the backup target. I could back up file sets and - most importantly to me - create a system image on the device should I need to restore the system in the event of a full disk failure.
When I upgraded to Win8 it kept the Win7 settings and it looked like it was just going to work, then as it came to create the system image it failed with error code 0x807800C5 and message "The version does not support this version of the file format".
I have searched the internet and seen that others have had similar issues on Win7 and Win8 with NAS devices where they have had to hack the device to get it working - though it isn't clear that this has been successful for everyone. This isn't an option
for me as the NSA310 is a closed device and in any event I don't see why I should have to hack the device when clearly this is a Win8 issue (since Win7 worked perfectly).
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this issue so that I can create the full backups I require?
Thanks,
Phil

Thanks willis! I will look into the iSCSI route. A quick Google search and I can see some mention of the NSA310 and iSCSI so maybe it does support it.
One question: Have you ever attempted to restore a system image from a NAS iSCSI device with a Win8 Restore Disk? Is it easy? I just want to be sure that it is possible to do so in case the worst happens and I need to restore the entire image onto a
new disk.
Hopefully Microsoft will fix the issue with the standard NAS setup with an update in the future, but I don't want to wait for it.
Thanks again,
Phil
Hi Phil, No I have not had to do this yet, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work as the iSCSI disk looks just like a regular hard disk to the OS. I agree that Microsoft should fix the direct NAS support as the iSCSI approach does have the downside
of dedicating a fixed chunk of your NAS drive to the iSCSI disk that you have to choose when you create the disk whereas the direct NAS just uses the actual space currently needed by the backup. Also I had some trouble getting authentication (access rights)
to work so I left the iSCSI portal as open access - which is OK for a home solution but not a good idea in general. I will revisit this for my own setup and see if I can get it working but just wanted to mention it in case you have the same issue. It manifests
itself as not being able to connect to the iSCSI portal due to failed authentication when running iSCSI initiator setup.

WARNING: Some NAS devices will be unconnectable to due an 'outdated server' message

Hi All,
I currently own a Western Digital MyWorld Edition and, after installing Lion, went to mount the sharepoints I normally use. Then this came up:
My advice to all those weary NAS users, Apple has changed the way AFP works and manufactures of NAS devices that use AFP may need to issue a firmware update to address this issue. My advice would be to contact your NAS' manufacturer and request an update on 'OS X Lion Support'.
This is also a dismal case to be in if you have Time Machine backups or iTunes Media stored on the server.

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!
Go to Solution.

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.

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?

Recently bought airport Extreme and have connected the device to the modem. WIFI works. However when I connect the LAN port to a switch I do not see the LAN printer and my NAS. Which setting do I miss?

I have installed my Airport Extreme and have conencted it directly to a modem. WIFI works fine. However I do not see my LAN network (printer. NAS,..).
Analysis:
Scen#1: When I connect the LAN port of the Airport Extreme to a switch (as input) and connect the other LAN devices also to the switch, those LAN devices do not have access to the internet. Also connecting the iPAD with WIFI to the Airport Extreme I cannot find my LAN printer and other devices.
Scen#2: When I connect the LAN port of the Airport Extreme to a router X (as input) and connect the router X to the same switch, and the LAN devices to the switch, those LAN devices do have access to the internet. Also connecting the iPAD with WIFI to the router X I can find my LAN printer and other devices in the LAN network.
Question what has impacted the behaviour of the Airport Extreme, not to detect the devices in the LAN network. Why is the use of a switch directly behind the Airport Extreme not working (no internet access for the other devices and Airport Extreme is not the basis station for the LAN network)?

Your scenario #1 is a correct configuration and should work. It seems as though your Extreme is not acting as a router as I believe you intend.
Most likely, you need to reset your modem. Power it down and let it rest for a few moments. Some need longer than others. Then, I recommend you "hard reset" your Extreme (see below) and configure it again, after the modem has been reset. From then on do not change what is connected to your modem without powering it down first.
Once configured, confirm your Extreme's wireless network works as expected and that your iPad and every other wireless device can load web pages. Then, connect the printer directly to one of the Extreme's LAN ports and confirm that it works as well. After that it should work equally well with a switch between it and the Extreme, as should every other wired device connected to the switch. This assumes your switch is an unmanaged device requiring no specific configuration.
Scenario #2: Having a router connected downstream of another is not a normal configuration, so don't pursue that as a solution. It will only distract you from determining the problem. If you want to repurpose Router X as another device do so only after everything else is working to your satisfaction.
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

3429 - Won't detect Networking Devices (And can't manually force drivers)

Got an "old" 3429 from a friend who's been using it at their office for a few years - Did a complete re-format and installed Windows 8 on it.
But now it won't detect any of the network hardware (Ethernet OR Wireless) and I can't get it installed manually (not for lack of trying) by using the drivers listed on the driver download page for the computer.
Additionally - Can anyone tell me what kind of RAM limits this machine has? The specifications seem to be for a never revision of the Thinkcentre that claims the machine uses standard size DDR3 sticks, which doesn't correlate at all with mine - It has a single laptop sized RAM slot (SO-DIMM?)

I've double and triple checked everything now - Both adaptors are enabled in the BIOS, the Ethernet port shows yellow light when connected to the network and nothing appears in Device Manager for either adaptor (No matter how many times I tell it to scan for hardware changes - nor are they pre-installed and present in the list. Only the bluetooth connection is running)

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.

HT1212 I have forgotten my passcode for ipad and itunes is not "detecting a device in recovery mode."

I have forgotten my passcode for ipad and itunes is asking passcode to be entered - even after following directions for computers not synced... multiple times, but iTunes is not "detecting a device in recovery mode." What do I do now?

DFU Restore
This will very likley result in loss of data.
Plug the iPhone into the computer.
Ensure that it is running the latest version of iTunes and that it has access to the internet.
Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for exactly eight seconds.
Release only the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the home button for another five seconds.
Let go of the home button, then look at the computer screen for an instructional popup.
The popup should say "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode. . .(etc)" Click accept to all boxes and let iTunes download and install all of the latest device Firmware and Software.
If no popup appears, repeat the above DFU instructions. If you've never done a DFU, it may take about three attempts to get the timing right.

Multiple macs and iTunes library on NAS device

My iTunes library is stored on a Buffalo NAS drive.
I have an older Mac desktop - running OS X 10.6.8; on this machine iTunes 11.4 is set up to use the library on the above noted NAS device. This is working fine; all my burned and purchased music is playing no problem.
I have a new (latest) version Macbook Pro Retina - running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. I proceeded to set iTunes 12.1.0.50 on this machine to use the exact same shared location as is being used on the desktop noted above for the library location. On this machine, however, I am only able to view my purchased music (with the download cloud displayed).
Anyone know why two Macs pointed to the exact same iTunes library shared folder location would result in one working fine and the other only showing purchased music available for download?
Thanks

How exactly did you set it? You do not do it in preferences (a common mistake). You do it by starting up iTunes while holding down the option/alt key whereupon iTunes will irreversibly convert what it sees as the library, namely the iTunes Library.itl file, to a version which will only work with the newest version of iTunes you run (your 12). Clearly you can't use 12 on your old computer so there is no way to share the same library file. Each version of iTunes will have to run its own library file which will essentially maintain its own independent list of entries, though they can share media. This means changes you make to one library will mostly not appear in the other but if you do something such as delete media in one library the other library will fuss it can no longer find the file, etc.
If you are going to start doing advanced iTunes things you need to learn how iTunes works.

One other tip. Just about every mention I see of people using iTunes with a NAS is something with a problem that results from using iTunes with a NAS. iTunes is likely not written with NAS use in mind. It may work, or it may not. Keep regular backups.
