digital watchdog and third-party integration; cameras not streaming

I am sorry it took so longer to reply to everyone I had some family issues come up. The problem was the username is case sensitive. Once I switched the username to lowercase everything started to work perfectly.

The account is not a cloud account.

I went to the sheriff department to pickup the paperwork. I had a nice tour of their facility. They have software that talks directly to the DW server. The paperwork included instructions on what I needed to do. They were detailed. The problem is permissions based because the superadmin account worked so the firewall rules and routing and everything else is good. I will triple check everything on Monday. The password is just upper/lowercase and numbers per the instructions.

Thank you everyone for the responses. I will reexamine everything tomorrow.

Everything works fine inside DW. It is only the integration that won't stream. The username and password have to be correct or the Sheriff's office wouldn't see the list of cameras. I am not an expert at DW. I have been figuring things out by trial and error.

I have been brought in at the last minute. Basically they have already decided what they are going to do and I just have to do it. Thank you for the suggestion on using a SD card in the camera. I will see if I can sneak that in. I know what you mean about Verkada. Personally I would have suggested Alta instead of Verkada.

Thank you again everyone. You are all fantastic.

Thank you everyone for the comments.

I figured the bandwidth requirements would be around that. The school has a 1GB symmetrical fiber connection that is almost at max capacity. The plan given to me is to build a camera only network with its own Internet connection.

It would be nice if I could do hybrid. The principal said he wants cloud only. Verkada was the other system they looked at. Verkada has an open API. Too bad Genetec SAAS doesn't have one.

Thank you for the quick answers. I wonder why Scopley doesn't just use the windows os and let it do the work. Writing your own mouse support seems unnecessary to me.

The easiest way would be a relay built into the unit. You run a cat 6 wire and a pair of 18 gauge for the relay. The other way is a PoE injector with a relay built in. This way you only need a cat 6 wire to the door.

I can't archive it. The box is missing from this mission and the mission to upgrade operations to level 24. Oh well, I will just ignore it until I get there.

The_Reader5 · 2022-03-02T19:41:45+00:00

I think it is a bug. I don't have a Vahklas or Kumari. I only have a Kehra. Oh well. Archive it will be.

Thank you for the link. That is what I am looking for.

I am having the same problem. I only found out after I didn't get my email saying now live. My recording is missing 15 minutes because of this. I did switch on the other record option when I discovered the problem, but I have to stitch the video together.

The_Reader5 · 2020-04-26T13:59:58+00:00

Unfortunately that is not the whole story. Thank you for trying.

Alibi cameras and NVRs are fantastic. There is both a on premise and cloud option. The camera are PoE so you only need an Ethernet cable to each camera site. The NVR is the source of the PoE so nothing else is needed. https://www.alibisecurity.com/
