I agree the Active X needs to go. It prevents anyone not using IE from viewing the camera. The folks at 4XEM are pretty sure they have a way around it for me. Their tech support is right up there with Davis. You call, they actually answer the phone, and they help. If they don't know the answer they will find out and call you back. I was rather impressed to say the least.
As for the neighbors, I have none that you'd want to look at unless you're into senior citizens.
Today I'm going to put it on the back side of the house where my old one was so I can avoid the afternoon sun. It will probably end up in a dome on the roof facing the southwest so you can watch the storms roll in during tornado season in the spring.
