There is no New or Old version, you need to activate the software, and at that point you will be asked to update the software .Every week the software will ask you if you want to update to the latest ver.

I would highly recommend switching to BlueIris for the software interface. It works well with the Apexis cameras on IOS, Android, and all of the major Internet Browsers.

Not trying to fanboy it up or anything but I've found the very best software is called Blue Iris. http://blueirissoftware.com/I have 4 from xfinity and still have their service but they don't provide any means for recording etc, so I just use Blue iris installed on my home server to do all the motion triggering, recording, remote viewing. Then setup to Google drive for cloud backups just encase the server was stolen etc..Also, you will need to know the IP addresses of each camera. This can allow you to jsut view each one with their built in software or when adding to a surveillance program. iSpy does this automatically but just didn't care for the program. Blue iris supports up to 64 cameras for $50 lifetime.

Okay, after a bit of frustration, I got mine to work (same problem). I clicked on the "start the 30 day trial". After doing that, it pops up a box that says I have an outdated version and an option to click on a link to get the updated version through Corel. I clicked on that, chose my operating system and downloaded the update. After install, the same box pops up to register the product and it worked.

Good website. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I will probably go with the first one an get the software if needed. good advice. The new one looks pretty, gut I don't spend money if there isn't enough upgrade to justify the added espense.

I just got it a couple months ago. I can't imagine it wouldn't have to be updated. I am really pleased with it. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

The company has been out of business since December of 2010, and I would highly doubt that anyone still has files from back then. I've scoured the internet for anything related to firmware upgrades and I don't see any publications or even announcements for a firmware update. I just figured that was one of the downfalls of this frame. About your only option is to manually change the names of the files on your memory card and shuffle them that way.

In order for email alerts generated by the Blue Iris software, yes the computer needs to be running continuously. It can't issue email alerts from the Blue Iris software unless it is actively running on a computer. Depending on which camera you are using, it may have built-in capabilities to directly send email alerts itself. The computer running the Blue Iris software can connect to the internet either wirelessly or wired. Just as long as the Blue Iris software has a way to connect to the internet.

Is it possible to just flash an update of some sort? I have an older version also and I'd love for it to sort files correctly.

I'm running version 3.56 and It works. I had problems when I first bought the camera. I don't know what version I was running then but it took a lot of tweaking to get it to work. Since that time I had to rebuild my server. Had a hard drive failure. With the new, much larger, storage and the latest version of the software.... Yeah, it works.

It is digital only. I don't use blue iris although I don't see why it wouldn't work. I would contact Blue Iris to check. Otherwise these are decent cameras for the price.

Yep, the old interface works just fine. I was just hoping to get the new hardware for the turn arrow, faster screen refresh and the zoom buttons both on the right side of the screen which is easier to use IMHO. No problems acquiring sats, I think the old hardware is just as sensitive. Thanks
