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 ?

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,

Network Camera D LInk DCS 5220

I am trying to set up this D Link DCS 5220 wired/wireless camera on to my wireless network. The problem seems to be getting the ip adddress. D LInk has a set up wizard but its PC !!! i can access that on a pc but that machine is not part of my mac network !!! I am using Evocam software but it needs the cameras ip address. Any idea how I can assign one?
Is this all even possible?

Hi there,
I've just got the same cam and am having the same problem.
I've found that when the cam is connected directly to the ethernet port, you can look in the System Profiler under "Network" there's an IP address associated with "Built-in Ethernet". I'd guess this is what you're looking for?
This may take us further, but I still can't get Evocam to talk to my cam.
Any further suggestions???
P.

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

D-Link DCS 930L Camera Connection

I have a D-Link DCS-930L Camera that I am trying to hook up to my Verizon Fios Internet Wireless router. Can this be done? I can hook it up with the Ethernet Cable Connection, but I cannot get it hooked up wirelessly. Any help with establishing a Wireless connection? Thank you.

If your cam is showing a green light on the front, and you already have a My Dlink account you are good to go. Type http://192.168.1.1 into your browser, and if you know your router username/pass you can manage your cam from there. If you don't have the router log info it's usually admin/password (make sure you change that if that's it) When you click Access Device under the DCS-932L just enter your D-Link user/Pass to log into your cam. If you going to use an app to view you cam you just need your IP Address, and you D-Link log info.

D-Link DCS 900W - how to get it to work on my Mac?

i'm new to network cameras - but i need to set up a surveillance system in my home to monitor my home while i am away. i recently returned a D-Link DCS 950G because this latest model didn't work with any other browser but IE6. Now i've got a DCS 900W, and ancient model which took me 2 days of frantic phone calls to locate, because this model appears in the list for both Evocam and Security Spy.
i am none the wiser on how to get it set up - i think i need to initialise it right (duh?)? and i am drowning in the sea!
can any hero help this dumb maiden set up the network cameras from step one to hey presto?

i'm a little crazy now... i've got 4 macs..
1) problems setting up camera:
i've tried to set up my camera to work with two of my macs but could only get it running on the powermac g4 (adsl modem Aztech305). i've tried to get it going on my iBook g3 (Linksys routerWRT54G) but to no avail. i tried the same things but still nothing happened in the iBook. i couldn't logon to the IP of my camera to set it up on the iBook but the powermac g4 was ok. my g4 has an adsl modem and uses a different internet service provider from my iBook which is hooked up to a wireless router using a network shared by my 2 other macs. i was hoping to get the camera running wirelessly (hence the 900W).
2) with the camera set up & running on the powermac g4, i can view everything on the g4 of course, buti can't view it remotely from my other macs.
i think i am doing something wrong here but i don't know what?

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...

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:
http://www.google.com/products?client=safari&rls=en&q=wirelessnetwork+cameras+formac.&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=U6SSaWaOorhtgfN0oVR&sa=X&oi=product_resultgroup&resnum=1&ct=title
You can do the rest...

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.

Network Camera in Flash

Hi,
Network camera streams MJPEG which flash cant read.
I tried with socket connection to connect to inbuilt server of the network camera, but no success
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Back in the day you could use an Add-on called iUSBCam for iChat (and other apps)
This had a camera guide as many people started off using USB cameras rather than the Firewire iSight.
Many linked to Drivers at Macam
The other popular one was the IOXperts site that no longer seems to be there.
I also came across this http://foscam.co.uk/blog/foscamipcameras/installing-foscam-ip-cameras-on-an-appl e-mac-macintosh-solution/

Network camera help

I have a Panasonic network camera. I knew when I bought it that the install cd would not work on my Mac. But I did alot of research and found many people that were able to "easily" set up this camera. People referenced how helpful the Panasonic call center was. I did send an e-mail to panasonic and received a reply back, but their suggestions did not work. I then reached out to the call center, and was told that the info I received in the e mail was wrong. They tried to help me, but they do not have any info on the Time capsule whcih woud allow them to assist me.
Does anyone know how I can set this camera up on my iMac?
It's not a life and death situation, but for me it's important; as I will be getting a new puppy next weekend and I want to be able to see him when I go back to work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Shelley

Linc thanks. I did check out your link; maybe I just need to borrow someone's PC. So just for the record, my camera is a Panasonic BL-C230.
I guess a second question may be better.
The call center at Panasonic said I just need to locate in my router and identify the IP address that it finds for the camera. They said to locate the DHCP client, and it will show me the IP address of my camera whcih is hooked up to my Time Capsule. I am using a my Time Capsule as my router, and not my ATT router, having the ATT router only as the modem.
Can anyone describe to me how to see the IP address of my camera within my router settings?
Thanks,
Shelley

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.

Is there anyone who can recommend a network Camera that works with OS X10.9

I just upgraded to Mavericks and love the OS. I just updated my printer to an HP that is compatible with Macericks and it works wonderfully! Now I am looking to add a network camera that allows multi camera viewing and can be viewed on my Iphone or Ipad or Macbook, etc. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on what to try. All the major brands that have high ratings are compatible with 10.6 or 10.7, but I see no mention of 10.9 - any suggestions would be great!

For what it's worth, I purchased the Axis 207W. Indeed it worked with Safari via Bonjour.
The setup took a while to figure out, but wasn't any more difficult than setting up a wireless router.
With things set properly I can view the camera from anywhere on the Internet and get e-mails sent when motion is detected by the camera.
All this and it works well with my Apple set up (laptops and Airports).

Video Streaming from a network camera!

Hi,
Does anybody have an idea how to go about streaming video from a network camera using applets? I know its possible in JMF, but I was wondering if its possible without that because I guess it needs the user to install JMF. Or a way with JMF but total platform independent?
PLZ.

i am not sure about the archive stuff neither am i very good at java. I am just a trainee here and wa given this task. so I went up searching on google, found these sites and then when I wasnt able to run the applet, I researched about running jmf applet. the setting classpath and stuff is given in the jmf website and even an aaplet which tests if jmf is installed on your system. I was just trying to act as one of the users trying to run the application. i was just trying to find an easier way out but guess there isn't.
now if anybody of you would know how go about getting a video steam from the IP camera using JMF?

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.

In XI, None of the links(IB configuration, Integration Repository..) work.

Hi,
This issue was not there just one day back.
Because of this issue, IB is also also not launching.
It says:
An error occurred while launching/running the application.
Title: Integration Builder
Vendor: SAP AG
Category: Download Error;
Unable to load resource: http://host:port/dir/directory/aii_ibdir_client.jar
When FQHN is entered the links work accept Integration builder.
I am sure that issue is not related to JAVA WebStart.
Can anyone tell me from where does these applications fetch their urls<hostname>
Also suggest how I need to proceed so that links start working..
-Anudutt M S

Hi Anudutt,
Incase no changes have been done eversince the problem, you should try disabling the proxy in your browser to see if it helps.
Also, ensure that the local host file is updated with the FQDN and the hostname details.
The following might be helpful.
