Vstarcam F6836W / New Wireless Camera Does Not Get IP
Jan 16, 2013
I have a problem with my new wireless IP camera.it's a vstarcam F6836W which needs to be connected with an ethernet cable on my router in order to set it ip for the first time.unfortunately, the camera does not get an IP from the router. the router's LAN1 (where I put the ethernet cable) LED is turned on and blinking but I cannot see the camera in DHCP client list of my router.Also the software provided with the camera does not detect the camera.
I asked a question recently about accessing camera via a smartphone but I realize that's not really the correct question. The smartphone works fine locally with wifi and has a browser available.
The real question I have is what is the easiest way to access any camera via a browser from a remote location. Years ago tech friend assisted me access my DCS-910 using dyndns.org. It was free and worked great. I guess it went away when they started charging for a basic account.
Is there an easy way to access a camera without using dyndns even if it involves putting in an IP address instead of a convenient domain name? I would just like to see at least one of my cameras in a browser off-site. If I have to pay $20/year for dyndns I can but I would prefer not to if possible.
The last WNDR3700 is in my media closet at the other end of the house essentially serving as an AP. I get weak signal in the garage on a standard WiFi card. Thing is I am installing an IP camera soon, so I need ethernet connect ability. Hoping to not have to buy another WNDR3700 as they are pricey. The bottom line goal is to have a router or AP out in the garage to connect my IP camera. What would be the best way to accomplish this? Running a cable is out of the question price wise right now. I have no problem buying a directional antenna and pointing it towards the house, but this would require the router to have external antenna.
Recently upgraded to WRT400N from older 54G. Opened ports to my Linksys IP Cameras and can access via DynDNS address (using Modem addressort) from inside my network but not remotely. If I disable SPI Firewall it works from outside my network ... am I missing a step ... never had this problem with 54G and although I run software firewall on my computers I like the thought of added security of a firewall on my router.
I can not connect from a remote location it connects from my home computer wirelessly but not from a remote location?(A) By default, the HTTP port on the camera is port 80. You will need to open TCP port 80 on your router to the IP address of the camera?
I'm having a problem with a D-Link DCS932L camera after setting up the EA4500. The manual for the camera can be found here.

It worked fine with my old D-Link router. Everything else in the house has not had a problem with the EA4500. There is a certail level of criticality around this camera and, if I can't get it to work, I will have to return the router. I setup port forwarding as 5556 ~ 5559, TCP Protocol (but I tried "Both" as well" with the IP address of the camera. It still doesn't work.I'm IT by trade but not in networking, i.e. I'm not stupid with tech but port wrangling is out of my comfort zone. The setup of this camera with our old router took minutes. I've spent about five hours trying to get it to work on the EA4500.
I'm building a security camera system,which can connect to internet to be viewed from away.The camera receiver connects to the modem with a Cat 5 ethernet cable,which results in a cable running across the room. My modem is a wireless type,but the camera receiver only has cable support it seems.
Is there a device that I can use to get rid of the Cat5 cable in this scenario?
I'm trying to re-setup this EOL camera on a new router.I've been able to reset the cam to factory defaults and see it wired using dhcp. I then was able to change the address to a static address, still wired and still can see it with IE. However when I disconnect the rj-45 cable, power down and restart, I can't access the cam.
I recently puchased a new E4200v2 router and one of the devices that I have on my network is a Level1 WCS-2040 wireless network camera. My old router was a Netgear WPN-824. I was able to (and I'm still able to) connect the camera to the Netgear router with WPA-PSK but not to the new E4200v2. The only way for me to connect it to the new router is with WEP, which I obviously do not want.
I'm at a loss for what the problem is because the setup is easily done. I'm thinking it's an issue with the E4200v2 but I'm not sure what... hoping that the issue could be resolved in the next revision of the firmware. I've tried WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode, WPA Personal (which I understand is the same thing as WPA-PSK) and WEP. The camera supports WEP and WPA-PSK. When I have the camera configured with WPA-PSK it simply isn't connecting to the E4200v2, only the old netgear.
See screenshots below: Netgear router wireless config: Netgear router connected devices (shows laptop and wirelss camera): IP Camera config while connected to old router: IP Camera working on old network: E4200v2 wireless status: IP Camera config while connected to E4200v2 router (via wired connection, not wireless):
When the wired connection is removed from the camera and powercycled, the E4200v2 does not list the camera as a connected device. I've power cycled everything, multiple times and tried everything I know of. What could be the problem? Note that the MAC address for the camera is the same for both wired and wireless adapters. And no, Password1 is not my default password... just what I was testing with for the purpose of screenshots.
I am trying to forward a port to see a camera over the internet. On the single port forwarding screen under Gaming, I have put in port 8090 (Ext and Int),Protocal both, an IP address and Enabled. I have also tried putting in a range, but neither seems to work. After forwarding the port, I check with What's My IP Addrewss to get the external IP, then put the IP in a blank browser page with and without the port number. I have tried this several times without any result.
I just got the e4200 the other day and everything has been great except I can't seem to get my ABS megacam 4 ethernet camera to work.It was working fine with my old router, and if I plug directly into it it works, but I can't access it through the router at all. I can see the camera in my routers client list, the camera is set to DHCP and it is assigning it an IP address but I can't connect to it. From my desktop pc (wired) I can using the IPwizard software that came with the camera and it will see the camera on the network but it wont connect to it, my wireless clients can't even see the camera using the same software.
I'm trying to connect the D-Link 930L Wireless N Camera to my E4200 router. When I have the camera connected via the Ethernet cable it works fine, as soon as I unplug the Ethernet cable it will not connect wirelessly. I tested the camera on a friends router E3000 and the camera connects fine and work flawlessly on his network wirelessly. Any settings in the router that need to changed or set differently?? All of my other devices work great. I have been through D-Links Tech support all things point back to my router.
I can't access my live camera feed from my home surveillance DVR from outside of my LAN using the Linksys E4200. I was able to access the camera feed using the Linksys WRT 610N, when it wasn't dying on me. I can access the camera feed from inside of my LAN. I've configured port forwarding, port range triggering, and DMZ. I'm using the LTS LTD7708 DVR.
I am wanting to access my IP camera over the Internet. I am not a computer wiz by any stretch and after a couple of failed attempts. My ISP is Comcast and they say that I have dynamic dns and should have no issues viewing my cameras. I know how to get to the port forwarding area of the router but am confused as to which ports to forward. The set up instructions for the camera (Airsight) suck. Screen shots of the set up don't match the actual router
I'm trying to setup a DVR camera system and two web page server boxes behind a Linksys WRT54GL. The problem I have is that all of the devices want to use port 80 to generate the web page. Individually, I can get the boxes to work, but when I try to put it all together everything seems to fall apart. I've got to the DVR set to External port 80, Internal Port 80 IP address 192.168.1.254. The web page server box I try to set to External port 8001, Internal port 80, IP address 192.168.1.200, when I try to save this setting I get the error message Internet IP address and LAN IP address are in the same subnet. If I change the web page server settings to External port 8001, Internal port 8001, IP address 192.168.1.200, it will save the settings, but it won't work that way because it won't actually generate a web page when I try to access that port.The error message doesn't seem to make since as all I'm changing is the port number, not the IP address or subnet mask.
I have a IP Camera client app on my Nook Color (modified android based. Has select android apps available)) and would like to stream my laptop's webcam to it. The user agent's available in the settings of the client are:
Internet Explorer 6 Internet Explorer 7 Netscape 3.x Nexus One 2.2.1 US Galaxy Tab 2.2 France IP Cam Viewer 3
Here is the app on Google Play [URL]
How would I setup VLC to stream my webcam as a ip camera so I can view it with my app?
I have an IP camera (foscam). It's connected to my wireless router. My router is connected to my motorola cable modem. My isp is Cox.I want to be able to view this camera from outside (ie: when I'm at work) by going to http://(my real ip) : (port). Port that I use is 88. I can't seem to do this.
First I set the port 88 to the camera's config. I can see the camera when I'm at home (going to 192.168.1.106:88). Reading the manual, I need to forward the port 88. So I go to my linksys wireless router 192.168.1.1 and single-port forward 88 UDP TCP (both) to 192.168.1.106.This doesn't solve the problem.I go to Open Port Check Tool and put in port 88 and it says I could not see your service on (my real ip) on port (88)
Here is what a wired portion of my network looks like:
internet---dsl modem---airport extreme---powerline ethernet adapter****powerline ethernet adapter---5 port switch---(ip camera & ioBridge 204)
The airport extreme is also hardwired to a PC that I use to view the IP camera.The issue I'm having is with the connection to the IP Camera.The connection to the camera worked for a long time, then starting dropping periodically and now it doesn't work at all.The ioBridge connected to the same switch as the camera connects to my network and the internet just fine.
Here's what I've done to troubleshoot: I plugged the camera in to my airport extreme and it worked fine. When I plug my camera into the other end of the powerline ethernet adapters, though, it doesn't work (even though the ioBridge does). I replaced the powerline adapters today (because they had worked before, so I guessed something had fried in them) but the connection still doesn't work.
When I ping the camera (when it's on the other side of powerline adapters and "not working") the response time is around 3ms (good) but there is about a 33% loss rate (bad).I'm guessing it's the loss rate that is keeping it from displaying the video stream on the computer...but I can't think of what changed between when it was working and when it stopped working that would cause it lose packets like that.
I bought a HooToo IP Camera (HT-IP212) to monitor my garden activities from my laptop at home. Everything so far is going as normal as it shall be. The wired connection was fine and is providing steady image and video output. Question 1# is i can't figure out how to configure the wireless section. Shall I set up the DDNS for the Cam as per the instruction? Question 2# Can I monitor my garden using the laptop in my office (not the one in my house), how can i set up the procedure?
I just installed WIFI wireless camera in the house. I validated that I can access and view video within home WIFI network. However, I can't seem to access it remotely outside my home Wifi. I follwowed the instruction - found my IP address xxx.xx.xx.xxx : 85 and set port forwarding to 85 to IP camera.
I own 2 different Panasonic IP cameras (BL-C30 and BL-C210A), which in the past have been able to FTP captured images to a host (in this case, the UGOLOG service). Upon upgrading my router to the D-Link DIR-655, this ability stopped. I also tried HTTP transfer, and this too is now unsuccessful.I can access these cameras from the internet, so the router is properly opening the ports. In my testing, I was able to FTP directly to the site via browse (ftp://) with no issues at all. The port/userid/password was accepted. On the cameras, I've played with login timing and data transfer method (active/passive), to no avail. The cameras report: Could not connect to FTP server. (panasonic error code: 133 80005008H) and FTP error 426: Connection closed, transfer aborted.On the DIR-655, firmware Version :1.35NA.
i have a n6073 network camera i cannot browse and ping the IP of it.i used CAM FINDER to find the right IP, netmask and gateway of my n6073 network camera. can you check this:
I have a business class SMC D3G-BIZ cable modem. Directly connected to it I have surveillance camera. I need getting the correct IP settings so I can access it remotely. I previously was able to do this but the cable modem was recently replaced.The camera software needs a IP Address, subnet mask, and default gateay nformation. I do not currently have a static IP Address.In the camera IP address should I put in the public IP Address of the cable modem or should I create a static IP Address that is on the LAN. such as 10.*.*.*?How can I determine the subnet mask? Do I go to Gateway > Network within the cablem modem menu?The default gateway should be same as the default gateway for the LAN settings in Gateway > Network, right?
I cant get my router to "see" my ip camera. I suspect its something to do with port forwarding or fire walls, when connect directly to the router its fine but I cant get the router to pick up the wireless signal
I want to setup my IP Camera, and of course I need to do it via ethernet cable. So, when I put the IP e.g. "192.168.1.102", my Laptop doesn't even load or kept loading.This case happens when I'm using Win 7 Home Basic, but with a Win XP laptop works great.
I have several network cameras within my home. Some are Panasonic. How can I view the image without using their cgi. I just want to view the camera image within my security program. How can I do this?
the camera is about 30 feet from the router. Is it too far for the camera to be detected? After I mounted the camera at the front door, after connecting the camera to the electric power, I saw clearly the picture. But after I finished mounting, I could not see the picture anymore. On the computer, it was stated that the camera was offline.
