Good point !

You could very well be right, it's not a big deal either way, it obviously does not hurt them if personal home users use it and could very well get them business clients if the home user recommends it to a business owner they know.

Think about it, they deliberately made "business name" a mandatory field instead of leaving it as optional, that is fairly obvious.

Please don't misunderstand, I do appreciate that they have a free version, so I'm not meaning to sound like I'm complaining, just mildly frustrated that I didn't know upfront that the Home version would not work, my fault, next time I'll try to remember to check minimum requirements first...

Okay, thanks for sharing that, I wish they had that info right on the download page to alert people before even getting started, I had to do a search to find that page - Milestone Systems product system requirements (my Windows 10 Home version did have IIS available to install, and it did...

Okay, I manually installed IIS again, rebooted, and tried installing the Milestone software again but still get the same error message saying IIS was not automatically installed and needed to be installed manually, even though it WAS already installed manually. So unless someone has a solution...

Thanks, It didn't ask me to reboot after installing the IIS, but it did ask me to reboot when I took it back off. Maybe I'll give it another try tomorrow with rebooting after installing IIS again but before reinstalling the milestone software, can't hurt to try, if that don't work I'll just...

And I have previously spend a LOT of time searching thru them as well as elsewhere on the web and other forums, I'll just have to keep looking and eventually find the solution I need. Thanks again for responding, it is appreciated !

Thanks for the reply, iVMS-4500 on my windows phone works great, and the iVMS-4200 client works great on my computer for live views and manually recording video and taking snapshots, the only problem I have is that I not been able to figure out is why the iVMS-4200 can "see" my HDD to record to...

Well I am not a company that needs to monitor 50 cameras, I just have one camera I want to monitor and have auto record when motion is detected, surely someone out there has made software to do that simple task without having to wipe everything else off your computer.

I have many useful programs that I use regularly, I can't simply uninstall all my software I use for other things just so one other software can work, this is my computer I use for everyday things.

on that thread it asked "Are you running any 3rd party apps to turn off telemetry data back to Microsoft?" but I am not using any software to do that. Why does iVMS-4200 client install but the milestone software will not ?

I searched and found how to manually install IIS but still get the error message about IIS. When you say a "clean" windows machine do you mean a computer with no other programs at all installed, a computer just for the vms and nothing else ?

Well I tried to install it but was unsuccessful, for details see the thread I started at - XProtect Essential+ 2017 R3 refuses to install

Okay, I was hoping this software was user friendly, but it won't even install. I got the following error message below, so I did a manual install of IIS as it said, then tried installing the software again and still get the same message even with IIS installed. So I have no clue why or what...

I understand, and I am going to try it, just been a busy day. There is some software out there that is not very user unfriendly and time consuming to set up, that is why I try to do at least a little research before trying a software that is completely new to me. I will be trying it soon...

I'm sorry, you misunderstood the attitude of my reply, it was not meant in a negative way, and I did say I have no problem giving Milestone a try, my point was that it would have been reassuring if those who had problems had replied and said the solution worked for them, not that I wouldn't...

Thanks, I understand what you are saying and I have no problem giving Milestone a try, it just would have been more reassuring if the previous posters on that thread replied and said the solution worked for them also.

I was checking out the thread on the mobile app issue and posted a reply to see if the offered solution worked for anyone else before I'd go thru installing and setting up Milestone Xprotect Essential+ software and mobile app. Here is that thread - Mobile App Performance Issues

Thanks for sharing that ! I was considering using the free XProtect Essential+ software along with the Milestone Mobile 2017 R3 app for windows phones, but I'd like to know if anyone else has successfully used your solution to resolve the choppy video on mobile devices issue since I did not see...

Okay, thanks for that info, I just checked their page at XProtect® Essential+ | Milestone Systems and it included - "View your video on your computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone." but did not specify "windows smartphones" but since you said they do have a windows phone app I'll have to check...

Thanks, I'll have to check it out to make sure there is no monthly fees for remote access either. Also I need to make sure they have a remote view app for Windows phones and not just android and ios. I'd still be interested if anyone is familiar with CamNebula just in case I need to go with that.

I have unsuccessfully searched for help to try to get automatic recording working with iVMS-4200 and I need a software that actually is fully functional. I just have one camera I want to set up to record when motion is detected, I am on Social Security and can't afford pricey software with a...

Thanks for the idea, I already have an old 10 inch tablet that I usually don't use for anything else so I have the iVMS-4500 on it and have it running constantly with a live view from the camera and just turn it off when going to sleep at night. I also can quickly see a live feed on my windows...

First let me say that I can manually record to my HDD with the iVMS-4200 client software both still pictures as well as video, but when I try to set things up for auto record during motion detect it won't record even though it does indicate it detects motion. I read where you have to set up the...

Thanks, that might help those who for whatever reason can't screen mirror wirelessly over WIFI like I can with Miracast. Thanks for sharing that !

Thanks again, I tried screen mirroring from an old android phone and it worked great and was EASY ! So I figured why bother with that complicated "IP Cam Viewer" Roku app when screen mirroring is so easy ! I found a Roku help page on screen mirroring, it seems that the are different terms that...

Thanks for the idea, I do have some old android phones I just use on WIFI only (no sim cards) I'll have to give that a try but likely tomorrow because people are watching stuff on the tv right now :) If it works then it won't tie up my computer like it would doing it the HDMI method.

Neat, so would a "Fire TV Stick" plugged into your current tv work also ? I just did a search and found a "Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote Streaming Media Player" online for just under $40. Could you have both a Roku and a "Fire TV Stick" connected to the same TV and just switch...

Okay, tried the "project my screen" app on my phone, it found the Roku but could not connect to project the screen, I might try to figure out later if can be made to work or not, but if not that's okay as I was able to project the screen from my laptop. My laptop stays put about 99% of the...
