Accessing network camera

just purchased wireless camera from panasonic (BL-C131A). It couldn't be found so i called tech support. after trying to find the location of the camera through my browser (replace the last three numbers of the DNS with 253) it still couldn't be found. the support laid the blame on my linksys router which he said wasn't allowing access to the camera. i called support at linksys and they wouldn't help unless I paid $30 - RIDICULOUS!!!
Can anyone help?
Dan

What router are you using?
I tried to get the manual for your camera, but I could not find it online at the Panasonic web site. Panasonic did offer to let me purchase a printed manual - how sweet of them!
Without the manual, it is hard to know how to setup your camera, but most web cams must be set to a fixed LAN IP address.
Linksys has some strict rules for using fixed LAN IP addresses.
Rules for using fixed LAN IP addresses on Linksys routers:
With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the camera, not in the router.
When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would normally need to be in the range of
192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
assuming you are still using the default DHCP server range.
Also, in the camera, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 and "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1
It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.
Some web cams cannot use the proxy "DNS server" at 192.168.1.1 . In this case, enter your true Internet DNS server address into your web cam. You can find your true Internet DNS server address listed in your router, usually on the "Status" tab.
Some web cams require that you "forward a port" to the web cam. To do this, first assign your camera a fixed LAN IP address (see above), then login to the router and go to "Port Forwarding" and forward the necessary port(s) to the fixed LAN IP address.
Hope this helps.

How do I access a network camera from internet via 501

Please understand that I am nowhere near being a network guru and I'm even farther away from being a PIX guru.
I have a 501 PIX between my home network and the outside internet. The PIX is connected to a cable modem and pretty much keeps the same DHCP IP address as assigned by the ISP. I have an AXIS 207 IP camera connected to my home network on IP 192.168.1.11. For the sake of illustration say the address assigned by my cable ISP is 123.123.123.1.
What I need to do is to access the camera from the internet. To do that I suppose I need to add some instructions to the PIX configuration but I don't know where to start...I have never even thought about communicating with devices on my home network through the internet. Can someone please provide some pointers or better yet the commands I need to add. The next question is how do I access the camera assuming the PIX is all set up. I don't think I use the camera's address and I don't know how the ISP address would get to a specific device such as the camera - maybe appending a port number or whatever to the IP address I type when trying to access the camera from the internet?
The way the camera works on the internal network is you type in it's IP address in a browser window and the camera opens up a web page just like any url and the video is streamed to a window in the web page.
I hope I've provided enough info to understand what I'm trying to do and I would be most appreciative for any help.
thanks

I tried installing the commands as provided but am running into issues. Here are the error messages:
pixfirewall(config)# nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0
ERROR: Duplicate NAT entry

pixfirewall(config)# global (outside) 1 xxx.xxx.114.55
ERROR: xxx.xxx.114.55-xxx.xxx.114.55 overlaps with outside interface address
pixfirewall(config)#
And here is a copy of my current configuration (including the code prior to entering the changes and the successful changes). Any Idea what needs to be done to fix things?
thanks

Network camera access via airport extreme ie: i need to assign a port and a

please help me i have a cabin in the mountains that is off the grid... and i use solar power... i have my internet access via wifi and an antenna... it goes to a d-link router in my electric room then from there via a cat 5 cable to a apple airport extreme base station... and i would like to plug the camera into the base station via a cat 5 cable....
i am trying to set up a network camera to via a airport extreme base station.... the tech support on the camera end (airlink 101 skyIP cam500 model aicn500) said to enable port 80 and to assign a IP address (which i have)... apple support has been unable to help me after almost 1 hour with tech support.... here is what the camera tech support page suggests....
You will now need to forward the Second HTTP Port through your router to the IP address of the camera. If you have an AirLink101 router, we have instructions in our knowledge base for port forwarding. If you have a router from another company, you will need to contact them for instructions on port forwarding.
When accessing the camera from a remote location you will need to open a browser and type in the internet IP address of your network (not the ip address of the camera) and the port into a web browser. The address and port will need to be typed in like this:
http://x.x.x.x:port
x.x.x.x = Internet IP address
port = Second HTTP Port
Here is an example of what it would look like: http://123.123.123.123:81
can anyone please help me?

i can not thank you enough for taking the time time to help me!!! i really appreciate it.... i have done the set up with the d link router and am now trying to access the camera from the web.... but i am having trouble logging in and finding it? i am not sure what ip address to enter into my web browser? i think that i need to add the ip addresss folllowed by a forward slash and then the port # 80.... but what ip address should i add? in the device info part of the d link router i have found a number of ip address's... but none of them seem to work? what am i doing wrong? or not doing? my apple base station is set up in the bridge mode with a password to protect it...
thanks again...

Hi! Need help! I downloaded Reader 9.1 and now it won't install Get error message "Error 1606. Could no access network location %APPDATA%\. I'm about ready to trash my computer! Thanks!

Hi! Need help desperately! I downloaded Reader 9.1 and it won't install. Get the error message "Error 1606. Could not access network location %APPDATA%\. Thanks!

Hello again:
I don't mean to step on any toes here but it seems that the root of the problem is being ignored. I offered before that the problems you are experiencing are due to inconsistencies in the Windows registry. While I could speculate on the various methods of how this came to be, I don't have that kind of time nor is there a need. More than likely it is some type of malware that has infected the system but that should be explored on more suited forums such as MajorGeeks.com or BleepingComputer.com. The way I see it, you have a few paths you can take, all of which will lead you to the same place: no more error 1606 and a functional Reader:
Option 1: Run the Windows Live OneCare free safety scanner to resolve any broken registry links it can find.
Option 2: Manually fix the "broken" registry entries in the Windows registry. While I understand Pat's hesitation to do so, the truth of the matter is it will resolve the immediate issue. Once the APPDATA path is corrected, you should then be able to install Reader.
Option 3: Restore Windows to a previous date using System Restore located in Help & Support of the Start menu.
Option 4: [SLEDGE HAMMER] Reinstall Windows over the top of the current installation (NO FORMAT). Use this option only if you have no other recourse. The potential to lose all personal data and settings is high if this option is not performed correctly. If this option is chosen, be certain to use a "setup" profile (username) different than your current username. If you only have a manufacturer's system restore disk rather than a Windows CD/DVD, you may not have the option NOT to format which WILL result in the loss of personal data. This option should only be performed by someone who has previous knowledge of such or is willing to learn even at the expense of data loss/time/effort.
I HIGHLY recommend that any and all personal data is backed up to an external location such as a USB key, CD/DVD, or external hard drive prior to performing option 2 or 4 above. If you would like any of the options explained in greater detail, feel free to ask and I will oblige.
Best of success!

Network Camera D-Link DCS 900 Integration

Hello,
I have a D-Link DCS 900 network camera which comes with an Internet Explorer live video feature. It has the ability of using an IP to which you can enter via the Internet or the Ethernet. (see picture below).
Now, My question is this: I would like to get the video from the camera from within Labview in order to have control over its size, flip the image in 90 degrees if neccessary and so on.
Can I do that with this camera ?
Attachments:
DCS 900.JPG ‏42 KB

Mic_Scale,
I am not quite sure how the interface to your particular camera works, but I am fairly certain that you can pull the feed into LabVIEW. There is actually a related forum post discussing this type of application with your camera. It may be useful to read this thread concerning your application.
Essentially your application will involve an ActiveX object and making calls to the object to retrieve the video. Because you have the camera driver installed on your machine, you will have access to the ActiveX methods and properties. Depending on the various properties and methods, you may be able to manipulate the image however you need. Please take a look at a the linked Developer Zone document for an overview of using ActiveX in LabVIEW.
I hope this information is useful for you. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. Thanks,
Mike

Network Camera connection with Live encoder

Hi,
Is it possible to connect network camera with Flash Media Live Encoder rather than USB camera.
Thanx in advance.

Yes, you will be able to publish to FMS. Platform independence of FMS is not related to wrting the filter. Please keep following points in mind before writing the filter:
1. Writing the filter will simply list the network camera as a device on your system, so that FMLE can access it.
2. Your camera should provide raw frames (RGB, etc format) for FMLE to encode. Even after writing the filter you may not be able to capture and encode using FMLE if the camera doesn't provide raw frames.
Please let me know if things are still not clear.

WRTP54G (wireless router with phone hookup) with Panasonic network camera BL-C30A (WEP only)

hi
I would like to use this wireless router with WEP so I can access the camera wirelessly (camera only does WEP encryption).
The camera should be the only device allowed to connect to this router wirelessly.
I can dedicate channel 11 so only this wireless router uses it
I know WEP can be cracked but I'm thinking maybe I can setup the router so it doesn't matter, i.e.,
so only the camera can be accessed through this particular router
so my questions are:
1. can I setup the router so only outgoing local LAN http requests are allowed?
2. any other suggestions on router setup that will prevent access to my network?
(using MAC address filtering (for camera mac address only) is worth doing but I guess MAC address can be spoofed so not a complete solution)
thanks,
Tom

I have airport extreme and just purchased a D-Link DCS-932L home network camera. D-Link says I need UpNp but the extreme doesn't support this. Can I use port mapping? if so anyone know how to set that up? thanks

Since the D-Link DCS-932L is accessible on the local network via a web browser, you should be able to access this camera from the Internet if your router has a publically accessible Public IP address. If your ISP provides you with a dynamic Public IP address, you may want to use a DDNS service to make it easier for you to locate your camera whenever your ISP changes your IP address.
Start the AirPort Utility > Select the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn).
Select Manual Setup.
Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
For Service, leave the default; this will change to "Custom" once you start entering port values.
In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your camera. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, enter the appropriate port values that should have been provided to you by the camera manufacturer. Click Continue.
In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "Internet Camera Access," and then, click Done.
Click on Update.
To connect to the shared Camera from a remote location using a Mac or PC:
Start your favorite web browser.
Enter either your Public IP address or DDNS-provided Domain Name, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 7 of the previous procedure. For example: http://123.123.123.123:8888 or http://www.mydtdnsdomainname.com:8888

Can't access Video camera menu

I have a linksys wvc2300 camera. I had it up and running to where I could log in from a browser (on a local network) and view the camera. However, I have since changed the port settings under the camera menu in the browser and now I can't remember what port I set it to. Now I can no longer access the camera or camera menu. I've tried pushing the reset button on the camera but I think that just resets the camera. The default IP is supposed to be 192.168.1.99, however nothing comes up when I go to that address. Again, I think it's because I changed the port number and I don't remember what port I chose. I've tried several options but to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Michael

The easier thing, connect a PC locally in the same subnet.

Loss of DNS connection and internet access to camera

I seemed to have lost my connection after a power outage last week. I've reconfigured the camera several times and it still seems to lose it's settings (date, static IP) I've checked the port forward settings which are fine. I see the camera on my PC utility and within my network. There is also a error on the camera that it hasn't been able to contact the DDNS server on it's scheduled updates. Any suggestions. I'm using the Linksys router WRT54GX2.

Hi....
As you are losing the settings on the camera i would like u to upgrade the camera firmware.
Also upgrade the router firmware.
After upgrading the camera and the router firmware, reset the devices and then reconfigure it.
After reconfiguring the camera, login into the camera setup page, go to setup and then sololink DDNS and click on Update now.
Check whether you are able to access the camera remotely.

Cant access security cameras with ea6200 router

I have everythig hooked up. port forwarding is enabled on port 80. i can only access my cameras from within my network. if i go outside my network i cant get in.
please help.
its like i cnt get passed the firewall

What are things you tried so far in accessing your camera remotely? Have you tried to type your public/WAN ip address and the port number (ex: http://68.12.123.3:80) on the address bar? Try to verify as well which port is needed for your camera. There might be something else other than 80.

Port Forwarding For Network Cameras On Infinity

Basically if you have network cameras and want to access them remotely with BT Infinity, get rid of your BT Home Hub 3!
Whatever configuration they have inside for their infinity setup, the ports you open for your cameras will never be accessible. I was aware of this before the installation from reading about it online but these were old posts and hoped this problem may have been resolved by now.
Anyway sure enough once the installation was complete I setup the ports for access to my cameras and found them to be inaccessible. BT checked and confirmed I had configured the hub correctly but said there was nothing wrong with the equipment and it must be the line. Mean time I connected and setup my own router and sure enough the ports were accessible immediately which confirmed it was their hub/router and not the line. I told BT and they decided to send out another hub which in my mind I already knew wouldn't work (and it didn't). When I told them, the only answer their technical people could give me was to come on here and ask cause they were unable to comment on my findings and they could be of no further help with the issue. So save yourself the hassle of waiting for replacement routers and use your own. Doesn't need to be expensive, just a stand alone router and plug it into your BT Openreach modem and set your router's PPPOE user to: [email protected] and leave the password blank and you're done, the one I'm using cost me £29 a year ago and works a treat, no drop in speed and can now access all cameras remotely as before with ADSL.

I have 5 ip cameras set up with ip addresses ranging from ending in 40 - 239 which all work fine with my Trendnet router on infinity but I'll change one of the cameras to end in 15 and see if that makes any difference on the HH3. Some people have had success using a DVR with the DMZ setting so I tried this with one camera and it failed but even if that had worked there would be nowhere else for the other 4 cameras cause DMZ only allows 1 device. The BT ad calling their home hub "that bad boy over there" is total b**llox
The default DHCP table on the home hub only supports 192 or 172, but you do have the option to create a range that is suited for you.

Window 8.1 system unable to access network shares via VPN connection

Is there something inherent to Windows 8.1 that prevents it from accessing shares on a domain?
I know that it cannot join a domain, but does that also mean that it cannot access shares which are on a domain?
My problem is that I have several user that are running windows 8.1 that are connecting to our network via a VPN.
The users have domain accounts but their computers as windows 8.1 cannot joined to the domain.
So to access network shares they have to use their domain credentials to create a VPN connection.
Once connected the user can RDP to systems on the domain using their domain accounts, so I know that their user names/passwords and permissions are correct. They can access these systems using the computer name, so I don't feel that I have a DNS issue.
They can see the shares on our file server, but when they try to access their departments shared file, they receive an access denied message. There are a few shares that are completely wide open, shared to all users and all departments but they cannot access
those shares either.
You can ping the file server, from the the client when they are connected to the VPN but you just cannot access any of the shares.
So...
I am thinking that it has something to do with windows 8.1 and not being able to join a domain, but I cannot find anything to explicitly support this thought.
Other users running a variety different OS (windows 7, OSX, Linux) can all access the shares without any problems via the VPN, so I am a little stumped.

I have done some more testing and oddly enough I can map a drive if I use the IPaddress, but not the computer name, when checking the check box "connect using different credentials"and providing they users domain credentials.
This seems to point to a DNS issue, one would think, but I can hit the file share server by name \\fileserver.dev.lan
I can see all the shares, so dns seems to be fine right?
So I don't understand why I can map a drive using do the IPaddress and not the machine name, but yet I can see and ping the server by name?
When I try to create a mapped drive by machine name I receive the following message:
Windows cannot access \\fileserver.dev.lan\all
You do not have permissions to access \\fileserver.dev.lan. contact your network administrator to request access.
But if I use the \\x.x.x.x\all using the very same user and password I get connected with no problem.
This only seems to happen on windows 8.1, which leads me to think that has something to do with OS.
I am thinking about upgrading to windows 8.1 pro, but I don't want to go though the hassle and expanse is the OS is not the problem.
