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.. .. .. ......... .. ?

Enabling Motion Detection on 2621V: "Video for other platform/os" error

Team,
trying to get motion detection on my CIVS 2621V enabled. Running Firmware Version: V4.4.2-2
I always get the Video for Other Platforms error not matter which browser that I am using or different systems.
Searched around and found some posts from some COTS video surveillance systems from Cisco running into the same issue but nothing here.

It's likely you'll need a much older version of IE in order to set this up natively. I believe the original user guide for the 2621 actually called for IE 6 on Windows XP.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/physical_security/video_surveillance/ip_camera/2621/user_guide/2621ug.pdf
... although I seem to recall doing this with something as recent as IE 8 without issue.
I actually have to keep a VM and an old XP workstation with VNC on it to work with some of the much older hardware :-S

Broken WVC54GCA Motion Detection

Does anyone know how to get the motion detection in the WVC54GCA to work correctly, without triggering contstantly
I have setup my camera to detect motion, and it appears to trigger (false positive) endlessly. Using R24 (also tried R22) when I turn the threshold to max/min or midway, or have fullscreen, 1,2 or 3 detection windows I will receive an emailed output at the frequency defined by the gap between triggers. It doesnt matter whether I ask for JPG output or Video (all files types) I fill my inbox very quickly, to the point where I have to turn off the motion detection, rendering the reason for purchase pointless. Like an idiot, I do have two of these cameras, so its also unlikely to be simply a faulty unit.
(I also have a WVC54GC earlier camera, which does trigger properly, but the ASF files generated are flakey to say the least)
The only thing I haven't tried is sending via FTP, but frankly I can't see how that will impact motion detection.
1. Does anyone know how to get around this? or have had success with automated motion detection capture and send ?
2. Are there any Linksys Cisco employees reading this that can confirm the firmware is still bing written and when the fixed version will be released, or should I eBay these to some hapless unfortunat, and buy Axis instead?
I realise my words are somewhat provocatory, but at least they are not fictional, unlike the marketting behind this camera, and I aslo believe I have the right to buy a functional product.
Thanks for reading
Richard

When you Enable Motion Detection on your Camera to capture JPEG files to be mailed on your E-mail, whats is the Interval Time you have set on your Camera. You may increase the Interval Time. Have you tried to Downloading the Latest Software from the Linksys website. You try downloading the latest software from the linksys website and try installing on your computer. Once you reinstall the software on your computer after this you can enable the Motion Detection on the software and check how it works.

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 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

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.

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.

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.

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.
Regards,
Adam
http://sensr.net Watch your stuff!

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 .

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...

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.

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.

WVC54GCA - Motion detection

Hi.
WVC54GCA
Firmware Version: v1.1.00 build 02
I've a problem with motion detection of subject camera.
The camera keeps on sending every 15 minutes (interval selected by me) an e-mail with the picture, independently whether a motion was detected or not. I tested all possible option but no success. It keeps on going.
Neither this forum, nor Google could help so far.,
Any ideas ... ?
Thanks,

Using Firefox ... when I click on "Set sensitivity area", I get an empty dark purple box. No buttons or video window in.
Using IE 10 ... I get the correct window with the sliders on the left and the video window, but the "Indicator" bar is always full (completely blue). Is that normal?
Could it be that the camera's webif requires a particular browser, version or addon (Firefox)?
Is all this working for for somebody?
Before I know this, I will not waste my time with factory resets and so on. Other people had the same ... but I AFAIK nobody ended up finding a solution.
e.g.:
