Thanks for the additional links... i'll look further into that elvisimprsntr.   ChrisCicc:  The site looks great and the software is interesting, but my main problem with it is there is no mention of the physical components required to do the things your software can control.  HomeSeer has a...

ok, discovered you can use the 'pwd' command to change the root password.  Once you do that you can safely type 'reboot' and the next time it's online you can telnet into the dvr. Again still trying to figure if it will get us closer to our goal... but so far this is pretty cool!!    My Zeus...

I'm in!!!!  Followed ConsoleCowboy's instructions with a few mods...   from my windows 7 x64... 1. downloaded latest nmap which includes ncat 2. downloaded python 2.7 (don't get 3.x cause of various issues i ran into and hand to debug code i'd never programmed in before) 3. download the modified...

After running NMAP on my DVR IP, i discovered the following open ports... 23, 80, 88, and 9000.   23 gives me the basic login prompt which none of my logins work. 80 is the web interface 9000 is the media port 88 however gives you a console which any username and any password works, but nothing...

No joy on those or combinations of that, rearranging the numbers a bit and using root as well as admin.   By the looks of this thread, http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=33151&p=208586, http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/q_see_hack/message/155, and the one you linked to... i may need to...

I have great interest actually.  I like the functionality of the DVR and would love to leave the recording load on it instead of the main homeseer server.   I've been careful not to expose it... in fact it is even behind a 2nd router/network so i can keep the computer i use for monitoring the...

I just downloaded and using an HTTP packet sniffer to try and find the url... with no luck. Here is what i'm seeing when i have the sniffer running, launch a browser to access the cameras:   1 http://xxx.xxx.x.x/ 2 http://xxx.xxx.x.x/play.html 3 http://xxx.xxx.x.x/images/logo_null.jpg...

Thank you for sticking with me... i know getting on the same page via forums can be difficult.   Yes, i've tried the url you've suggested, with no luck.  I've also tried changing the port to the 9000 (default) and 18004 (which I have configured on my DVR).   I don't have much experience with...

Sorry, I know where the disconnect is. i've been searching for the static JPG link for over a year with no luck.  I've seen on multiple forum threads that people have asked but no one has found the answer.   Since i spent a year looking for the solution with no luck... i started this thread to...

LOL... i just saw your picture... must have had tunnel vision or something.   Excellent... Are there any Libraries or something which has the functionality already?   Do you have links to example code or projects you've already built which pulls the images?

I think a better question is can you control it with X-10, Z-wave, InsteOn, or PBC.   These are the "control" mechanisms that HomeSeer can control.  The way i'd approach this is the following: 1. can you simply plug/unplug to turn the "thing" on/off?  If so then a very simple appliance module is...

IP Cam recently upgraded and added ADs... poor taste but i know they have to make money.  They also rearranged the gui which i don't like and sent me looking.  It looks like Night Owl released a new app called "Night Owl Lite" which will interface with the cameras, nice interface and no ADs. ...

elvisimprsntr: nice job on the Siri proxy approach.  Do you have any write ups i can learn more about how you set that up? I'm in the early research phase of adding VR to my system and looking for various options. I'm assuming your not required to be on Wifi for everything to work.   The...

Unfortunately i haven't found anywhere that describes how to pull a video feed from a NightOwl DVR without using the ActiveX component.  I'm very disappointed by this.    If i could find some code or command line utility or something that can pull the image i seek, i could program something to...

I'm putting my HomeSeer onto a more power system in order to install multiple sound cards.  My goal is to have a computer with speakers in every room... then homeseer could be controled to send audio to each room individually or all together.   I can handle the software side of things... either...
