There's a problem with the webcam. It'll be fixed when time allows. Now get on with your work. [;)]

A new web cam has had to be bought - it will be installed as soon as someone is brave enough to hang out the window....

H&S I think a tower will be needed. But as it's close to the road the road will have to be closed.

I Just get: Axis ActiveX Camera Control The AXIS ActiveX Camera Control, which enables you to view live image streams in Microsoft Internet Explorer, could not be registered on your computer. Maybe because I'm running Vista?

Shouldn't be. I would say because it is a new camera then you just need to re-register it or download it onto your pc again...

No I suspect it's an active X clitch.

It is definately working - I can see it! With Vista, right click your Internet Explorer icon, click Run as Administrator, go on the site, download and install ActiveX, then it should work.

Pat-H, the camera Herts Display have is an Axis camera. Best thing to do is to go to the [url="http://www.axis.com/"]Axis website[/url], have a look at their examples, and demos and view their support section.


Reply ID 22791

10/05/2007 by Pat-H

Downloade the vista msi at axis website but still no good. Solved it by finding anothe Axis webcam at some university and that one offered to install the active X. That one then worked and now the ware online one works as well. Wierd still as long as it works.

Wow the picture is so much clearer - sadly it seems it might be focussed only on the proposed signage across the road which I don't want to see. Is it possible to pan it so we can see more of our beloved town when we're not there?

[:D][:D][:D][:)] Got an answer in a few minutes. As a result, I registered in the Axis site, and downloaded the camera control. Unzipped it, ran it and went to the webcam. The first time I logged onto the webcam, I was asked if I wanted to use the control. Said yes and bingo. Now logs on as soon as I select the webcam. If anyone wants a copy of the zip file, get Admin to give me your e-mail and I'll send it to you. Tom

It's happened again! Although it was working fine yesterday (and I believe only this morning) the webcam had to have the 'Active X' item downloaded yet again just now for it to work properly.


Reply ID 25966

Yes - The software has been updated and we were advised to replace the code. It didn't make any difference to my PC - it just work fine first time.

Uhm my home Vista system is also struggling. It tells me I need to allow the active X control to install. Which I do but it still won't display. just goes round and round in a loop of asking to install. Last time I had to go and install the Active X axis software from a different site then the Ware Online webcam worked. May have to do the same again.

A whole chunk of this thread seems to have disappeared. For instance, Tom Davidson posted the URL of the file needed to install the webcam software, which I followed and subsequently acknowledged. What's going on guys?
