Module Help File Template

Is there a module help file template available from Crestron or does anyone have something formatted that they use that they would be willing to share?


Remote Monitoring Systems

 

Hi All,
I'm getting ready to make a final decision for our company and wanted to see if people would weigh in on which RMS's that they/their companies are using.

Please comment on why you chose the system that you chose as well as it's reliability, the best/worst parts, etc.

It seems that the big three are:
Nuage Nine
Certified Cyber Solutions
iHiji

A big TIA,
Chris K.............;)


Re: HD Camera for Capture-HD-Pro

 

HD/SD depends on the cards installed.

I thought the BRC-H700 had a onboard composite output but looking at it again I guess I was mistaken.

HD-SDI and "bid low" don't generally go together (if price-over-quality, why not use any of the number of composite-output cameras and the HD-CAPTURE instead of the HD-CAPTURE-PRO?).

If price wasn't a (big) concern your best bet would probably be to use a camera (such as the BRC-H700) and a scaler or scan converter to derive your composite output and streaming from the HD-SDI output.

HD-SDI + Composite + Streaming seems like it's asking one camera to serve different masters in different market segments and if such a creature existed I kind of doubt it would do any of them well.

I'm sure it's a sweet camera, but price is high and it doesn't have Ethernet streaming or simultaneous HD/SD outputs.

I just don't think there is a perfect camera for this app (especially when trying to bid low) yet, if there was, Crestron wouldne touting it as part of their solution.

Both work very well.

So... no recommendations for HD PTZ cameras for Capture HD? Not easy to find the right one, and now the customer wants 2 cameras and the ability to switch between them. I wish Capture-HD-Pro had a HDMI in for camera in addition to HD-SDI...

I guess that is why Crestron is pitching a SD sony camera for the application...

Re: HD Camera for Capture-HD-Pro

 

You're right about the price (as with most things Sony). But, I think there is simultaneous HD & SD out. I know I have used both without any reconfiguring, though I have not used both SD & HD BNC outs at the same time. If the camera with all the features & price point you want exists, let me know. We are delving into lecture capture.

Crestron Mobile can do animated page-flips. There's an option in the

I'd love the Crestron iPad app to support the features - such as the

If you'd be kind enough to raise some feature requests on TB, you
never know, someone with some iOS development clout at Crestron
might eventually realise we're not in the nineties any more.

Hey Guys, Am I missing something or is there not a way to do a
page flip animation with the Crestron Mobile - or Mobile Pro?
(slide in/out left right, fold in half vertical/horizontal, book
page turn, zoom in/out from middle, you know, all the transitions
we have come to know and love on the iphone. I have some projects
that a bare minimum would look really good with some animations.
Or better yet expanded gesture control

My personal cool thought - have a page flip effect like when
changing
screens on the iphone/ipad (left/Right gesture) that as you flips
changes pages/sub pages, and when the user stops on a particular
page, it activates/routes the video to the display.

Anyways, if I am missing something, please let me know.

Also, does anyone know if there is a way to access the built in
keyboard,
rather than having to create one myself. I would love to Skin an
P-IpodV Doc search page to look like you were browsing your own
iDevice.

Thanks for the help!!

Anyone made a module for this series from NEC?
The ones i have tried dosent work with this screen.
I get the main functions to work (on/off, inputs) but i cant get the screen to report powerstatus after the screen turns off.

It starts from standby, so its not a power-save issue.

Maybe someone here is a NEC expert? ;)

I have managed to get an A*X fully integrated with Global Viewer Enterprise, I am in the process of porting that code over to Crestron. I will let you know how I get on. The GVE API still has some bugs which Extron are ironing out!

Re: tpmc 10 connectivity

 

The tpmc-10 is finicky with what APs it will connect with ( you can get wifi but no control connection). I have found with mine that it works with only these of several i have tried:
Draytek 800 something ap, d-link 755 something ap, and the really old linksys wap54g.

I cannot get connection for control even though wireless is great with:
Apple anything, netgear wap 102 and 103, cisco routers, netgear wireless router, and a few others.

This applies to my 4xg's also. The other clue is that if i turn on b/g/n mode it looses connection for crestron on my current Draytek units. The wifi strength will e great but never gets control connection to my pro2 until i turn off "n". A few others settings also kill control even though wifi is great.

Hope that helps

Re: Sendmail with remote attachment.

 

Probably more work than its worth but the only way I see it working would be to use some S+ to grab the snapshot, save it as temp.jpg on the procesor's compact flash (or NVRAMDISK if small enough) and then pass that file to sendmailadvance

Re: Vivint

 

Yes, people are really going for this. I call it end point selling.
You just show them the Alarm.com app with the Cameras, Thermostats, and
Locks, and the Security Arm/Disarm and it pretty much sells itself if
you are just doing
basic automation. Not a Crestron client. Vivint is in our area and
selling a lot of them. We are also dealers of 2Gig and just getting
going with it in a separate security company under our umbrella.

Are people going for this? Absolutely. Vivint hasn't made it out to my
market, yet, but it's only a matter of time. They use the 2GIG security
panels and I for one think they're great, for what they are. They bring
home automation to a customer who isn't even on Crestron's radar. Their
thermostats are (retail-wise) $250, their light switches can be had on
Amazon for ~$50, their cameras are ~$200.

Vivint is making an ABSOLUTE MINT with this stuff. A poorly-trained
