Net Surveillance Web Activex Plugin Download Chrome

[Francisco Raya]

OverviewWhile using a HD camera the web browser plugins were installed successfully however the user may experience the error message"Please re-login after plugin is installed". The reason for this is that the browser is still blocking the plugin from being executed while attempting to access the camera. This can also be caused by many reasons including a Pop Up Blocker deliberately blocking the browser from launching the appropriate plug-in. Be sure to disable the Pop Up Blocker while accessing Foscam products.

Solutions:

Chrome (Windows OS)

Launch the browser and in the address bar type the address chrome://components

Find pnacl located in the list; if the version number indicated is 0.0.0.0 the component has not been updated. Click on Check for Update to update the pnacl component and restart the browser after the update is complete.

Some anti-virus programs will block the browser plugin from being executed. If the problem continues after the pnacl plugin is updated temporarily disable the ant-virus program and try to login to the camera.

To tell the truth I don't really know how I get Plugin working. I just blunder around through my browsers: firefox, opera, chrome, edge - inputting the address of the camera until it shows up. on the 'bad' ones the camera shows up with a page asking me to download the plugin.

I forgot to mention, about regulations. In my country, the regulations

are strict if the things record the images, but not so if they just

/display/. Most baby-watch cameras can not record at all.

Further to this, and indeed noting this is good advice, most long-in-the-tooth GNU/Linux users (where possibly I fall in to that category) are used to having to research for GNU/Linux compatibility prior to any computer related hardware purchase. In the case of the FI9821W that I am considering, I note this article Affordable, easy-to-install IP cameras for home security Digital Trends

EDIT: Those may in fact just be commercial advertisement pages - so they may not be accurate. I recommend disregarding those links for now. I will delete them (with my mod permissions) if I confirm that to be the case.

Given both my wife and I are the only ones who live in our apartment, and given we will both have access to the data (ie for oversight), from what I can deduce there is no moral issue. Possibly the only issue might be recording when visitors enter our apartment. My current plan is to stop any recordings at those times.

Speaking of which, the older Foscam FI9810W gets good comments on GNU/Linux compatibility. And while it is much less capable than the FI9821W and FI9826W, given I am interested in learning, I may go with that less capable FI9810W.

A big concern I have is if there is no GNU/Linux compatibility with a 720p then that is mostly a show stopper for me. A poor quality 480p that works is in my books superior to a 720p that does not work, despite it being painful to type that

The initial Reviews on Amazon of the FI9821W (which is a 720p) had some very strong statements from GNU/Linux users that the FI9821W did not work with any GNU/Linux browser. Even Windows and Mac users were struggling with their browsers where they had plugins. The Windows/Mac plugins did not work with GNU/Linux, and without the browser plugins it was commented that the FI9821W camera could not be used from a browser in any OS.

For instance, if I have a non registered camera recording strictly

inside my house, there is a robbery, and the camera registers the face

of the guy, and the fact, it can not be used in court at all. You need

independent proofs, like fingerprints and such. You may even need to

prove that the police seeked for the guy without using the photos.

Also, if the camera is hidden and records a friend or a visitor, even

totally innocent pictures, he can sue me for recording his picture

without telling him in advance. There has to be a notice in the premises

saying that there are recording cameras in action.

I could find no reference to German law here. But to me it would be unethical to take secret videos and/or pictures of someone who is visiting my wife and I at our place (when we are home) and so my approach would be to put a cloth over the camera when my wife and I are home.

wrt obtaining surveillance, as part of the things we would do when leaving the house (we each have a check list) we would remove the cloth so the IP-camera can now view the door from the inside. The camera would only take videos of my wife and I as we come and go, or videos of anyone who is illegal. If we give anyone special access to our place when we are gone, we will of course tell them of the camera.

Another user noted Foscam has not registered their extensions, which are required to run on any browser, with any of the browser companies. So, Chrome does not work. Foscam noted their older MJPEG cameras required the use of Internet Explorer to use the 2 way audio feature. They claimed they are currently working on getting the plugin approved and added to the Google Chrome Store.

If I extend my budget by 50% AXIS M1013 would be at the very upper limit. The AXIS M1013 has a resolution of 800x600 and low light performance of 1.2 lux. I note no audio. I would need to research it some more to see if extended my budget 50% is worth while - given it appears to have less features.

After connecting the PTZ controller to the GXV3504(See User Manual for RS485 connection setup) and configuriring the correct PTZ protocol, you can then set the address code. Most PTZ devices have ON/OFF switches that allow address code configuration. To allow the PTZ control of the GXV3504, it must match the address code of the GXV3504. For example, the address code of the GXV3054 is 1-2-3-4. The user will also set the PTZ address code to 1-2-3-4 using the ON/OFF switches. (Please refer to the PTZ user manual to see how to setup the ON/OFF switch to match address codes.)

You cannot disable the audio during a SIP call between IP phone and camera. By current design, the IP camera will always have microphone enabled (if supported) during a SIP call. However, you can enable "Disable audio in SIP call" to prevent the camera from outputting your voice to speaker or audio line out. If you wish to view the camera without hearing the audio from the camera's microphone, you can use the live stream interface of the camera's web gui or use the RTSP url to stream the camera.

The Alarm_In port needs DC voltage less than 15V. Users are able to connect 3rd party sensors such as infrared sensor, smoke sensor or light sensor to this port.

The Alarm_Out port can be connected to either AC or DC circuits with 125VAC/0.5A or 30VDC/2A. Users can connect 3rd party devices such as alarm siren or alert light to this port. Under normal circumstances, the circuit is open. When there is an alarm event, the device will close the circuit to trigger the alarm.

Note: This info can be used for all of Grandstream devices with Alarm_In/Alarm_out ports, e.g. GXV3500, GXV3504, GXV3601_HD, GXV3611_HD, GXV3651_FHD and GXV3662HD/FHD.

This is a known issue for Window's users. The way to correct this is by performing the following:

Go to the Windows Control Panel-->System Security-->Action Center-->Change User Account Control Settings

Another window will pop-up which will allow the user to choose when to be notified about changes to the computer.

Drag the lever down to "Never Notify"

Another way to allow saving to the specified directory is to right-click on the Google Chrome or Mozilla FireFox icon and select "Run As Administrator.

Note: When performing the "Change User Account Control Settings" you will be required to reboot for changes to take effect.

New versions of Chrome deprecate the NPAPI for plugins. It is now the default setting to be disabled, however users can do the following to re-enable it:

1. In the Chrome browser address bar, enter chrome://flags

2. Search for NPAPI

3. Enable NPAPI and restart Chrome

If the GXV3610 is on firmware 1.0.2.43, then by default the camera comes with the light condition set to Indoor. This can be corrected by navigating to Basic Settings-->Video & Audio Settings and changing the Power Frequency to Outdoor

Note: The default Light Condition (Power Frequency) has been changed to Outdoor after firmware 1.0.2.43.

Due to the current WebControl Plugin v1.0.0.7, users browsing with IE11 are required to add the camera IP to the Compatibility List. Here are the steps:

1. Open Internet Explorer

2. Navigate to Settings

3. Select Compatibility View Settings

4. Input the IP address of the camera where it asks you to "Add this website"

5. Click the Add button

Next Disable ActiveX filtering by going to IE Settings--> Safety-->Uncheck ActiveX filtering

Encode Mode: (Analogue Camera)

Generally, most 3rd party analogue cameras will be digitized to IP Camera when connecting to GXV3500 BNC port at Encode Mode.

Decode Mode: (IP Camera)

Whether GXV3500 can decode the data stream from a 3rd party IP camera is dependent on how the stream was encoded. GXV3500 utilizes the RTSP stream and is capable ONLY H.264 formats decoding (so MJPEG is out of luck). General rule of thumb is if the RTSP stream of 3rd party IP Camera can be viewed by VLC Player (free open source media player software), the GXV3500 will very likely be able to decode the stream, but no guarantee due to the variety of H.264 encoding implementation by different IP Camera vendors.
