jason.b.c Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 eh.? , you're allowed to mess with a webcam at work...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 It sounds as though the I.T. people have stopped such software from being installed. It may just be possible that they want you to work when in the office, a surprisingly high number of company's do. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Can't help with why, but it works on my home pc, not much going on though apart from someone in the window at the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is at least a Europe-wide problem, because I got the same error when trying to view the webcam at Härnosand in Sweden. I'm trying to find who makes the control. Which o/s are you using?

pbp Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 OK, I have the answer! Go to axis.com and click on downloads. You will need to register your company, but can opt out of marketing material. Once you've registered click on Software Tools in the right-hand pane, and download Axis Media Control (AMC). This needs to install a Windows Media control as well, which may be a problem, but just keep trying. My Vista installation refused to install the Windows control at first, but then took it, after which the Axis software loaded, and now I can view the live webcams! Best of luck.

wtmacwalker Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Newbie - I don't know who you are, but you are a GENIUS!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been trying to download that stupid program to watch my daughter in preschool (she just started! and is having a hard time being away from me, and me from her) so it means SO much to me to be able to see her now. Even my husband (who has a degree in Computer Science!) couldn't get it to work! Thank you again!!!Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I also have windows 7 on a 64bit os. My husband started loosing a lot of his video links. I tried to get everything back but this axis media control was just not installing. I tried all of the previously mentioned fixes and a few others I found on the internet. finally I remembered that he had lost the internet explorer icon on the taskbar the other day. I showed him how to pin it back. I also noticed when we did it that there was an Internet Explorer and an Internet Explorer (64 bit). We clicked on the 64bit thinking it would be okay since it was a 64 bit OS. I simply went back and unpinned the 64 bit and pinned the non-64bit (presumably 32 bit) internet explorer. All is well. Hopes this helps someone else. this was a very frustrating problem.njcI have windows 7. I downloaded the amc, but it doesn't work.

Buddy Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hi NJC, Previously I had the same axis media problem, but eventually got it resolved. Attempting to help a friend with the same problem (unable to register), I did the exact same things to his computer that I did to mine, but to no avail. He still has the problem. I thought that perhaps it's the same problem you referred to. However, I don't really understand what you mean by Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer 64 bit. Also, pinning Internet Explorer over Internet Explorer 64. Do you mean installing the IP and where would I find this info?Thanks, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hi Rich,Sorry about that. I was just listing the steps I took and didn't think about what it was really doing. Those are the steps taken on hubby's computer because he has the shortcut on the task bar. "pinnining" seems to be the Windows 7 jargon for placing a shorcut. So all I really said was be sure you are using Internet Explorer for the 32 bit not the 64 bit. We had lost any IE shortcut so I went to programs>internet explorer. It gave me a choice of Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer (64). This made all the difference for me.NJCHi NJC, Previously I had the same axis media problem, but eventually got it resolved.
