Path Settings
« on: January 17, 2013, 06:20:03 PM »
FOR XX40A

I am unable to change the alarm and record path settings from c:\users\public\documents to a path towards my 4gb sd card.

Keep this in mind i have not done a firmware upgrade since recording was not a big concern but would like to have it be able to record other than on my computers hard drive.

I am having the same issue with my xx39A cameras. There was a post somewhere in this thread about making a security setting change in Internet Explorer. It mentioned making the camera a trusted site in IE. That doesn't really make sense to me but I tried it anyway and to no avail, it did not work.  Since the 39A cameras have SD card capabilities, at least I have an alternate solution. There has to be a way to change this directory pathing.

When you made the change in IE as a trusted site ... did you reboot your computer? not just reboot IE?

No reboot on the computer, just IE.  Did you happen to try the trusted site thing? If so, did it work?

Yes it all worked and i did trust it.. I just made sure i put the security level back to the original settings....

So far since i did everything works correctly ( which is why i been tinkering with my camera and IE) except when i armed the alarm settings, sometimes the computer will sound a beeping alarm for 1 minute and sometimes it would just flash the alarm symbol on the software UI with no alarm sound.

The record feature i can change at will. I have a sd card to record to instead of the c:drive.

I don't typicallly leave my computer on so the directory path settings for recording images and video is not really a concern at this point. My cameras have the SD card so that it where I will do my captures. I'm assuming the I/O plug on the back of the camera would allow for an external alarm of some sort. Not that I am going to do that, but I might try it out. Getting email set up is next on my task list.
