Well,,,,, I did it..... put 3.271 on.... IT WORKS BETTER THAN 3.236.
Win7, 64bit, va12, all plugins. had been using my own day/nite flag set routine for macros since none of the built in dusk/dawn/day/nite things worked at all with 3.236 (remember some of us needed to use 3.236 in order to make our va12 videos work at all)
I have set a couple macros up to test dusk & dawn and they worked the first time. Havent seen that for a couple years!
FYI, I could not delete old AHP as the uninstall program did not work so I had no choice but to install 3.271 over top of 3.236. Still have my fingers crossed.
As a last aside, I just bought a Compro IP70 IP camera for $ 150.... if this 1280 x 1024 pixels HD camera does what it says it can do, complete with motion detection, emailing, 3g streaming, internet web access, 2 way audio, I will be removing all 8 of my X10 low res cameras and get rid of ihouse add in and go this route.
