Linksys Cisco WVC210 Network Camera - Problem

Hello Cisco Members,
I have problem with one Linksys Cisco WVC210 Network Camera.
When I Power ON, the PowerLED blinking, other 3 GreenLED light and on LCD Display have nothing.
I make 30 seconds push resset button, 30 seconds power OFF and havent result. When I connect it to
Router with DHCP, this camera can not take IP Address... I do not understand where is a problem with
this camera.
I write here to get a fix of this problem.
Regards,
Vivendi

Try power on and after 90 seconds go to the Browser and type in 192.168.1.99 (assuming you are on the 192.168.1.xx LAN network) and see if you are able to get to the firmware page, if yes try reload the firmware, if you are not then I would recommend returning the product by getting in touch with Cisco's Tech Support and get an RMA number and instructions on returning the product and get a replacement.
Alan.

Cisco WVC210 WLAN Camera - multicasting question

Hello,
it act's about the CISCO WC210 WLAN Camera, I would be really happy, if somebody could help us to eliminate our problem
Informatiom
We are using the WVC210 WLAN-Cameras (http://ww:w.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9948/), this camera has a web server, so is accessible over a normal web-browser, to see the video transmission.
We just set it up with a normal WLAN-Router, so the camera is connected wireless to the router, and this router is connected to the internet (WAN).
With the cisco video-software or the web-interface, it's now possible to stream the video.
Our questions:
Now we like to stream the Video on our Website, so people what visit our site can take a look at our company and so on.
We are able to stream the Video with the MJEPG-Format, like the camera web-interfaces offers...
The problem is, with normal ip-transfer method, each user would connect directly to the camera and increases the data-transfer, the internet-connection will than overload easily.
But the camera supports multi-casting, so the camera only transmit one data stream and all clients connected to this stream will receive the packages.
Our problem is, we do not have any knowledge about multi-casting and how it works, the camera has a normal ip-address and a pre-configured multicast address with group name, so how can we connect a client to this multicast group, without increasing the data-transfer with each new user?
Would you recommend us to use the multicast function of this camera or put a server between the camera and the website?
Could you give as advice or some kind of tutorial, how we can set up this multicast service and easily get a player for the stream on our website, without using many plug ins or special apps ?
Looking forward for your help, thank you all
Regards
Markus
P.s.: You can also reply in german

Hi, your general understanding of multicast is correct, but I don't think there is any multicast in general use on the Internet today. In the mid 1990's there was a thing called MBONE that experimented with this idea for basically the same application as you describe- to multicast video. Check Google or wikipedia for some history of MBONE in case you are interested. That said, you should be able to use the multicast ability on your own LAN/WAN environment if that helps you at all.
I think the way people stream video to many users via the Internet today is essentially by having a lot of bandwidth and CPU. You could probably find places to host your video and 'rebroadcast' it via their servers and Internet bandwidth. Take a look a qik.com for an example of something that might help you. There must be other services similar to qik that can 'rebroadcast' video streams that you only send one stream to them and they let multiple users see it. I would expect to pay something for this service, but you might find free, ad supported services.
Good luck and let us know what you end up doing.

When is Linksys/Cisco going to fix E4200 problems??

All the problems started when I upgraded from a WRT54G (never had a problem with this router over several years) to the E4200 (v1.1.02) a couple of months ago. No problems with any of the wired connections of course, but all my wireless 2.4 GHz connections had problems immediately -- decreasing signal strengths (no matter how close to the router) and eventual loss of connectivity. I tried all the conventional solutions like switching channels, checking for interference, moving the router to "higher ground" where it could vent heat better (this baby really runs hot) and be unobstructed, etc., but the only thing that would cure the problem was to reboot the router, usually once or twice a day. I checked the forums and found that lots and lots of folks were experiencing this behavior. I finally discovered that if I disabled the 5gz band the 2.4 GHz connections would no longer be dropped (by the way, once they're dropped, the only way to get back is to reboot the router; eventually the router state is such that nothing can connect to it). Still tends to have signal strength loss over time but at least we're running consistently. The other problem I'm experiencing is that if I get more than about 30 - 35 feet away, there is a significant decrease in signal strength.
I bought this router for (1) the gigabyte ports for my wired machines; (2) increased signal strength for my wireless devices at greater distances; and (3) the dual band capability to handle the 5 GHz spectrum as those devices become more prevalent. Well, 1 out of 3 is pretty pathetic performance for what is a relatively expensive high end router from a company that until now I had a confidence in their ability to produce technically sound hardware.
I may be way off base here, but based on over 40 years experience in IT, this appears to be part of a larger trend where the bottom line seems to be dicating the rush to market of inadequately tested hardware and software.
Linksys/Cisco -- can you please acknowlege these problems and what the current plan and timetable is to fix. The E4200 has been in the market place for a while now and I still don't see a firmware upgrade.

I got my linksys e4200 a few months back along with x3000 ( upgraded my home wireless network ). While the x3000 is great the e4200 stil does not work with mac. It just can take the ip adress once i power off the mac and on it. Called linksy support they gave me a rma ( return merchandise authorisation ). The issue is still there even with the new one. Cant be fixed even with 1.0.4. Bad product dont buy it.

Window 8 WiFi problem with Cisco wireless network

Anyone encounter a Windows 8 WiFi authentication problem with Cisco wireless network?
We are using WLC 5508, 7.2.111, and AP 3602i with WPA2.
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad App

This problem occurred with Soney, and Dell models. Lenovo with Windows 8 factory installed is working fine.
Won't make any difference as these laptop's wireless NIC cards are different.
Can you try with OPEN authentication. If the Sony and/or Dell laptop works, then you start cranking up the security and/or encryption settings until you break them.
I'm with Scott here: It's got to be a wireless NIC card driver.
As what George has stated, post the debug of the failed attempts.

Hp slate 6 heating problem, network connectivity problem and now camera problem

Hello, I have using this tablet since last 4 month and after upgrading to kitkat there is phone heating problem and network connectivity problem getting started some time it will show network but during that we can not receiving or calling through it and even after put in flite mode it will not resume so have to restart several time.

Power supply of Cisco WVC210 Camera with batteries

I want to use my new WVC210 Wireless-G PTZ Internet Video Camera on my wheeled robot, so I would like to provide a separate power source for this camera.
Can I use 4 "D" batteries for it? They give 6 V DC, not 5 V as written on the camera.
I've measured the voltage coming out from the power supply, which came with the camera. In Switzerland it outputs 5.39 V DC.
I am afraid 6 V DC may damage the camera. Or is it OK?
If 6 V is not OK, then another possibility is 4 x 1.2 V DC researchable batteries. But it gives only 4.8 V DC.
Can camera be supplied with only 4.8 V DC? Or is it better to use 6 V DC?
Or I shall build DC-DC converter outputting exactly 5 V?
In specifications for the Cisco WVC210 it is written: "5V DC 2.0A switching power supply". But how tolerrant is the switching power supply? Will it work safely with 6 - 5.8 V?

I'm afraid we can't recommend using any power source other than the AC adapter included with the camera. Using anything else would likely void your warranty also.

How do I make airport time capsule work with Linksys cisco router?

Hi all.
I bought an airport time capsule 3T and want to connect it to the internet, using a macbook with OS X 10.9.2. Currently I am using a Linksys Cisco router model WAG54G2.
I followed the steps of the setup airport guide: Connected the WAN port of the airport with an ethernet port on the router, plugged in the power cable, filled in the internet username and password. In Airport Utility I can see the airport and the internet icon, both with green dots most of the time. But it seems to disconnect every minute or so, green dots turning orange and the status light on the airport flashing orange. The internet light on the linksys also goes on and off. When the internet is on, it is quite slow.
Advice is welcome!
Kees

No guarantees here. AirPort Utility 6.3.1 is a big drop down from the 5.x versions in Leopard and Snow Leopard.
Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule for 9-10 seconds and release
Allow a full minute for the TC to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click on Time Capsule.
The example below shows an AirPort Express. You will see Time Capsule.
As soon as you click on the Time Capsule, AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network....and probably suggest that the Time Capule will be configured to "extend"....which is wrong.
Click the Other Options button at the lower left
Click Add to an existing network
Next to Connect To.....select the wireless network name from the drop down list....if it appears. Otherwise type in the exact name of the wireless network.
Click Next
Confirm any settings again and wait to see if AirPort Utility 6.3.1 will allow the Time Capsule to join the wireless network.
You have about a 1 in 5 chance that this will occur.
Post back on your results.

Panasonic network cameras no longer work with new versions of Firefox.

I have been viewing my Panasonic Network camera, model BB-HCM381A using Firefox for several years.
Starting with Firefox version 15.0.1 and again with 16.0.1, 16.0.2 and 17.0.1 the browser begins to display the streaming video, but then drops the signal after maybe 20 seconds. Refreshing the page brings back the image for another 20 seconds, and then drops it again.
All previous versions of Firefox before version 15.0.1 worked great. Now I have to use Internet Explorer exclusively. It would be great if you could fix the problem.
Example of viewing the streaming video can be found at www.bandon.tv, which may require installing a plug-in from Panasonic.

I see the same happen, but it takes longer. It is possible that the server gets too many visitors and drops some of them. A right click and "This Frame > Reload This Frame" also works. I also notice that frames get blocked (it skips seconds), so you may need a faster server.

MacBook Pro will not connect to Cisco Wireless Network

I have just bought a brand new MacBook Pro, running Leopard (OSX 10.5.1) and I just cannot get it to connect to the Wireless Network at my workplace.
The MBP connects to wireless network and authenticates just fine, but will not obtain an IP address from the DHCP server.
The wireless network consists of 16 Cisco Aironet 1200 Access Points controlled by a Cisco Wireless Network Controller. It does not broadcast its SSID and is WEP 128-bit hex protected.
Changing the network from WEP to WPA is out of the question for me as this is under the control of my customers IT Department and they do not have any problems with their PCs connecting to the network. It appears to be an Apple issue.
For reference, my old Vaio PC, my Nokia N95 and my iPod Touch ALL connect to the same wireless network without any problems whatsoever, first time, every time!
If I boot into Windows XP from my Boot Camp partition, XP can connect wirelessly to the network without any problems, so it is not MacBook hardware related...
It has to be a bug in Mac OSX... doesn't it?!?
Things I have already tried (following suggestions on many forums):
* Switching Airport off/on
* Deleting various network-related Plist files and rebooting
* Manually assigning an IP Address (not really permitted but doesn't work anyway!)
* Disabling all network adaptors except Airport
AP Grapher shows that the MBP is connected to the wireless network, at good strength, and packets are being sent and received, but Internet Access is not possible as no IP Address has been assigned. Instead, my MBP shows a 169.* IP Address (self-assigned). It should be a 10.1.255.* address.
Can anybody please help? Thank you.

i posted this same reply elsewhere because it worked for me for my Buffalo wireless router: try manually setting your IP address instead of relying on DHCP, which sometimes (I don't know why) doesn't work well with Macs. It's a good get around. I am a happy Mac user but nothing is perfect on earth, and when the Mac gives problems, it does give a lot of frustration. Macs are not as easy to troubleshoot as Win because a Mac is built to be user friendly(and it works most of the time), meaning a lot of the background computing stuff is hidden away from users to avoid user accidentally upsetting some settings.
Unfortunately, the highly automated troubleshooting wizards provided by OS X are not perfect so when these software wizards fail to resolve the problem, like my Network Diagnostics, I have to spend more time tinkering around. There's "Terminal" of course but then most of us, especially PC converts to Macs, don't know how to use it.
You should also try updating your MBP, see if there are any new updates being released.

Why can't I run the latest Java on Firefox to operate my network camera? It does not find Java. Please Help!!

I just installed a network camera in my home correctly and signed in to view what was on the camera. But after logging in , info comes up with" cannot find Java" with an install button. I have the latest update of Java and the Firefox browser. There is no red block in the search bar that asks me to allow the site to use Java nor does it ask me to allow the site. I did uncheck the box in the control panel as it tells me to do in Java so that it asks me to use Java. Nothing works. I am so tired of installing and uninstalling, clearing my cache. Opening and closing my browser and reading info to fix this. I just want to be able to view what my camera films. Nothing on the firefox site answers or solves my problem. And believe me I've tried til my head is spinning. Someone has to have an answer. I need a vacation after this...Lol...
Thanks...

The Java plugin doesn't show in the System Details List.
Is 32 bit Java installed on your computer?
You can find the latest Java version on the Oracle website.<br />
See Java Platform > Java SE 7U45 (JRE Download)
*http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
You need the 32 bit JRE for Firefox.

Wireless Network Cameras

Can anyone explaing to me step-by-step, how to attach a wireless video camera to my network and have my Mac recognize it. I just returned to amazom.com my Linksys wvc54g cause mac won't recognize it. I would like to use Evocam or Security Spy, or IveZeen in order to record wireless video.
Is anyone out there knowledgable about this keeping in mind that most of us are novices at networking. I set up my Linksys router to my Airport extreme card in my G5, and it's working fine. Only, I want to purchase a wireless camera, ( a D-Link 900W I hear works).
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I have been using Macs since 1984 so I am a little familiar with all the other aspects of my G5.
Thanks in advance for your replys.

I googled "wireless network camera for mac" and came up with, among others, this:

You can do the rest...

No sound in OSX for Panasonic BL-C131A Network Camera

I successfully installed a Panasonic BL-C131A Network Camera on my network and can view it on my iPhone or over an internet connection in Safari or Firefox. The only trouble is that I cannot hear the sound output while streaming video from the camera on my iPhone or a compatible OSX browser. The cameras sound codec is apparently not supported in OSX. I have Windows XP running on an iMac using Bootcamp and the sound comes through loud and clear in IE. Is this a problem on Panasonic's end or is it just that Apple refuses to support this product? This would be a really cool camera were it not for the lack of audio on my iPhone and Safari. This is a wireless network camera and can be placed anywhere to remotely monitor my home. it can be remotely tilted, up and down, and left and right and zoomed in and out. But the sound just does not work in OSX! Any suggestions?

The cameras are designed around Microsoft and Internet Explorer. You will not get audio, MPEG-4 video and audible alerts with Firefox and Safari.
In addition, this affects phone viewing. Different phones use different and sometimes proprietary browsers. Not all can view the actual camera page from their phone like the iPhone which uses Safari.
There is a /mobile that can be added to the end of your Viewnetcam.com address and even then depending on the browser software - that may not work. With this one there is no live stream and updating the image is done manually.

How do I grab an image (Jpeg) of a Network camera?

There was a question 3 years ago, which remained unanswered: How do I
grab an image(JPEG) from the Web(http://) using the datasocket in
LabView?(http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=200&message.id=847)
I have the same problem. I would like to capture the image of an AXIS

Cisco Works Network Compliance Manage NCM

I'm working on the Cisco Works Network Compliance Manager.
I would like to add a device which is behind a firewall.
For this I use the option bastion host to authen. on the firewall and
to get access to the device self.
The problem is the firewall is not listing to the port 22/23, it a different port number
like example 1234.
Is it possible to change the port manually in a configfile, as the webinterface has no option for this ?
I use the version 1.7.1 the latest one.

Both Prime and LMS can do baseline compliance, after a fashion. LMS's is much more mature in my estimation. Prime is more around the lines of deploying templates.
The regulatory compliance functions as of now are in only LMS's Compliance and Audit Manager (CAAM) function. It's quite useful, matching the baseline compliance features.
An LMS license is included with PI, but it does need to be on its own server (or separate VM).

Network cameras struggle to update video

I updated Safari to 6.0 a couple of nights ago... I have four house security cameras (panasonic network cameras). I have occasion to move one or more of them quite often so what I discovered tonight is very new, I am guessing since I updated Safari... At first I thought the camera motor signals were messed up but now I've discovered the video update from any and all of the four cameras freezes often but only on Safari... Firefox on the mac works fine and IE over on Windows 7 running under VMware Fusion works fine also... In fact, I move a camera from Safari... I see no change... But I flip over and look at Firefox and the camera has clearly moved...
All the controls on Safari seem to be working fine including commanding the camera motors to move... But it's the video feed from the camera to Safari that is messed up... Any ideas why??? Is anyone else having similar problems with video cameras with the new version 6 of Safari???
Also, I just upgraded to OS X 10.8 last night but since Firefox still works fine with these cameras, I would guess the issue was with the Safari upgrade that I need the night before I upgraded to 10.8... Thoughts????
thanks... bob...

Thanks Jim, always appreciate your quick replies.
I still need a little help.
From the linked document, it would appear that the CPU is more likely to be the problem than the video card. They speak of "video configuration." What do the mean by that?
On the other hand, the forum is full of discussion about video cards and the need for an appropriate one.
One more question. When the video freezes on playback, if I wait for a minute or so, it restarts. What is happening during this minute? (Cleaning the cache doesn't change anything).
Thanks again.
