Wireless Live Internet Camera

I am on a Macintosh (OSX) and recently plugged in my wireless camera again. The both the power and wireless lights are illuminated (green). There is not an installer for this product on the Macintosh. Also, the user guide download does not open fro Creative's site.
Anyone have the first steps they can share for me to start using this?
I presume I reset the device and plug it into an active ethernet connection for me to administer it....
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeffster?

I need a Wireless G Internet Camera for the MAC

I would like to buy a mac compatible Wireless G Internet Camera. Ive found lots of PC/Windoze ones but no mac ones... I would like it to be under $100 street price like all the PC cams...
Any help?
Thanks guys!

The important factor that I found for compatibility is that the camera's web server needs to be Java based, and not rely on any ActiveX Microsoft technologies. It can then be used by any browser in MacOS, Windows, and Linux.
About 4 years ago I bought a D-Link DCS-900W for around $200. It worked well out in the barn while my wife was waiting for a mare to foal. Friends all over the web were able to tune in and check out the situation.
Currently, I've seen that the D-Link DCS-920 Wireless G is available from the usual suspects all over the internet for between $70 to $90.
We found that the camera's work well if they are in a well lighted area. Low light cameras can get pricey. Don't expect real motion high def, especially if you are pushing the wireless distance limit.

Help! looking for internet camera compatible with Mac

I need help! I purchased a Mac recently and so far I am very happy with it. However, we just had a baby and I'd like to see and hear my baby from my computer at work. At work we use PCs and at home we havea iBook G4. I bought a D-link wireless G internet camera, the DCS-950G, but I could not install it because it requires you to have a PC for initial installation. I've looked around the web but I've been unable to find an internet camera that works with the Mac. I am desperate and frustrated! Does aynone know of an wireless internet camera that works with the Mac? I'd greatly appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks.

Hello B Real Brad
You do not say which DV camcorder you have. The exact answers to your questions depend upon your camcorder's features and user guide instructions. If you experience problems when you try your camcorder, check your camcorder's users guide instructions. That having been said, here are the answers to your posted questions:> Do I need to have a firewire cable to successfully use it through iChat ...
Firewire will be easiest. If you have a Firewire cable to download your DV Video to iMovie, that one will work fine.
... or can I use the normal usb cable?
Depending upon your camcorder, that may work with additional software and or hardware, but, if your camcorder offers it, Firewire will me much easier.
.. is the quality ... better using a DV camcorder ... ?
Usually. This depends on which camcorder you compare with which webcam.
Some people like the image quality of their camcorders better. See John Kennedy's "Cameras and Image Quality", the Sat - October 30, 2004, blog for a comparison. (John's is a very high quality camcorder.)
See this link for my reasons for using a webcam when I do not need portability or highest possible quality. Some of the reasons may be of interest to you.For specifics on how to get going, see my recent response to Tony Keogh. Although Tony asks specifically about a particular Sony model, the specific suggestions I made there should apply to your camcorder, too.
If the above do not get you going, I suggest that you start your own topic and give as many specifics as possible about your system, your problem, and what you have already tried. Your questions deserve the individual attention they will get in a separate topic.
Here are a couple of other suggestions for your consideration:
(1) I see from your other posts that you use Miglia TVMini. Be aware that some AV devices and third-party items can cause possible hardware or software conflicts with iChat.
(2) Also, your system info shows that you are using 10.4.4. I suggest that you update to the latest available version of Tiger using the following method:- Repair permissions.
- Then download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update (PPC).
- Finish with another Permissions Repair.The latest Combo Update offers several additions and improvements over the older versions.
Cheers,

Internet Camera

I'm looking for a dependable wireless outdoor Internet camera that works with both Macs and PCs. We intend to setup two in our community. One will be installed on my home pointing towards one area, the second will be installed on my neighbor's home three blocks away. I have a Mac Pro setup with Airport Extreme. My neighbor probably has a PC with Windows. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kelly

These are a bit pricey, but they work REALLY well. We use them in my office.
Figured it's at least worth mentioning.

LAN IP keeps changing on my wireless internet camera using Linksys E1200 router

Although it was working fine for about a month the LAN IP for my wireless internet camera now keeps changing almost on a daily basis for no apparent reason. I am currently away from home and am unable to access the camera for live coverage until I determine and reset the IP. Fortunately the camera is working and still sending emails on motion detection which includes a note with the IP which I then can use remotely access my local computer and then to the camera for live coverage but this is a time consuming method. To be able to get access from my current location I then have to remotely log on to my home E1200 router and change the address in the port forwarding section of the routers setup program in order to use the new IP directly.
I know I could have avoided this problem by seting up the camera with a static IP but for some reason I had a problem doing so and due to time limitation I ended up accepting the dynamic IP assignment.
What could be causing the change and more importantly is there anything I can do to the router setup to minimize the problem?

There hasn't been a power failure at my house in over 3 weeks at least none that my UPS system has sensed but there have been many camera IP changes during that perioid . Perhaps there has been some local power interuption to the camera or the router. I wonder if a local power sag or surge might be sufficient for the camera to restart. I guess further investigation will have to wait til I return and regardless of what I find I'll switch to a static IP for the futrue.

Is it possible to use a Linksys By Cisco Wireless-G Internet Home Monitoring Camera with Labview

I was wondering if it is possible to use a 'Linksys By Cisco Wireless-G Internet Home Monitoring Camera' with Labview

I wan't to be able to get the raw data from the camera and analyse it.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Jam.Hall
I am somewhat hesitant to say you will be able to use this camera with LabVIEW. It all depends on what functionality you are wanting to utilise on the camera, and how much video you want to analyze.
- If you want to use the wireless functionality, I am concered that the on board web server will compress and embed the video stream. I do not beleive this is something we can access in LabVIEW.
- If you wish to use the ethernet connection, if it is Gigabit Ethernet, then you should be able to use our IMAQ for GigE driver to bring in the feed, but looking at the specs for the camera, I'm not sure that this is an option.
- My other suggestion might be to utilise the record video stream function that the camera has. Depending on the format of the video file, you may be able to read in the recorded file and analyse it in LabVIEW.
If you could explain the purpose of your application, and what you would like to achieve with the system, there may be more suitable products that you can use.
Kind regards,

How to install my WVC210 Wireless-G PTZ Internet Camera so I can view it from any where in the world.

Hi guys I just bught a
WVC210 Wireless-G PTZ Internet Camera

I would like if some one can send me a video tutorial on how to do it.
I have a website that I am runing so I guess I can use that if I need something like Hosting and Domain things.
I want to know if it is posible that I can some how configure it so I can view the camera on one of my websites page.
For exaple: www.example.com/mycamera???
If not well I would love to here the options I have.
Thank you very much in advance!

Rogerio,
I have never seen a router like you have and I wouldn't dare advise you about changing the settings. It appears that it is a router/modem that was provided by your ISP. If this is the case, I recommend that you call your ISP and ask them for Port Forwarding assistance. You need to forward port 80 to the LAN IP address of your camera. The LAN IP address of your camera is the IP address that you use to log into the web interface. You should not need to change any settings on the camera. After you have had the ISP help you forward the port to the camera, go to ipchicken.com and you will see your WAN IP address. Write that address down and then go to a remote location and type it into your web browser. You should get the login page of the camera. Note that your WAN IP is subject to change. You can ask your ISP to provide you with a static IP address which will be an additional charge each month but your IP address will not change. Another option is to use a service such as dyndns to create a unique URL that you can use to access the camera remotely even if your WAN IP address changes. We can discuss that after you get access to the camera if you have further questions.

Port fowarding for linksys WVC54GC Wireless G internet video camera

Hi
I have recentlty installed a linksys WVC54GC Wireless G internet video camera. My plan to is to view the video from the internet. As part of the setup, I am using SOLOLINK DDNS service. The set up requires me to do port forwarding for the camera which is part my home network ..
I do not know the values to input for
public port
private port
with in the port mapping environment in the Air port express base stations.
Linksys suggests I open port 1024.. Can any one help me in the setup ..

Thanks,
I have done the changes, It does answer the specific issues i had asked. However I am still unable to view my camera from the the internet.. I did some reading up and I think the problem is due to the IP address..
My AEBS assigns IP which looks like 10.0.1.1 .... In order avoid changing IP, i had assigned the camera with the static IP 10.0.1.252. This is outside the AEBS dynamic range. Hence when i access from internet, i get a message that server is not responding. it looks like this is not a valid IP from an external internet world... I have looked at the AEBS settings and found the actual IP in ther internet tab.. Should I assign the camera with the actual IP ??.. However that is DHCP, so I am a little lost ....

Trying to install internet camera thru Windows XP within Parallels

I recently purchased a Panasonic KX-HCM250 wireless internet camera and am trying to configure it using my Mac Book Pro thru Windows XP running within Parallels. I managed to get the camera to show the video images thru the internet using the provided setup software that came with the camera. However, I can't create a website account for it since the program that came with the Internet Camera is asking for the default gateway, DNS server 1, and DNS server 2 which are all showing as 0.0.0.0. I searched for it in the Network category within the Systems Preference within Mac OSX, but its not showing anything. I got in touch with my ISP (Roadrunner High Speed Online) they tried to help me but was unable to retrieve the DNS & Gateway either. They say it may be because the internet camera is going thru a router first, that's why its not showing the info I need. My network connection is as follows, the airport extreme is attached to the Internet modem. A Lynksys Workgroup Hub is attached to the Airport Extreme. I also have an Airport Express where the Internet Camera is currently hardwired to (it was previously connected to the hub). However, can't get any info on the Gateway & DNS.
Can anyone help me with this. I'm very new to networking and just learning as i go. thx.

Hi Duane,
Thank you for your quick response to my post.
So the WAN side IP address of the AEBS is the same as the Router info, which is the same as the DNS & Gateway info? I went to the Network section in my Systems Preferences, went to TCP/IP for the Airport, and that's where i found the value you mentioned (10.0.1.1) under Router. The IP Address has a different value on it.
Anyway, I tried to enter this value & the IP Address value in the Internet Camera setup software and webpage, it was saying that both attempts were a success, but it still wasn't sending me the info to setup the webpage for the Camera (it mentioned that I will be receiving an introductory email with the instructions to register the camera (if it is able to communicate with my camera.)

Help with internet cam and ports

I have a Linksys WVC54GCA wireless Internet cam. I have set the IP to a static address. Created a DDNs account and have the address. I can see the site/cam on any computer on my network but cant seem to get it to port forward out . Help from anyone would be great. Thanks

That is strange, because.
Earlier when you posted what your domain was, I went to http://network-tools.com/
and entered that domain name, you where ping-able / traceroute-able / I could find out the correct public IP and ISP address behind that domain.
But now, I can not see the correct IP address.
Now I am starting to wonder about what is going on..
I think know what was going on, why you could not connect to your self by public IP.
Auth failed, solve that first. Then I will tell you what to do..
That means...
While I don't use the same DDNS provider: Make sure that, you:
#1 Are not running any DDNS client on the computer too. That, I, suspect will cause that issue.
Run the DDNS client either on the router (if the router supports it) or on a computer behind that router.
#2 You enter in the correct user name and password ( "password" is not the same as "Password" )

Live! Cam Voice won't run on Windows Vista 64-bit OS

I recently upgraded my OS to Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit system. I downloaded the beta softwares (webcam driver & cam center) for my Creative Live! Cam Voice & everything looks fine until I run the Creative Live! Cam Center. Right after running the Cam Center & clicking Start it says initializing then my PC screen turns blue with several error message in it. My webcam also doesn't seems to work.

I am having a problem downloading to a new Windows Vista 64 machine. When I download using either IE or Firefox, the download gets to 14.7 MB and stops. Any ideas on why the download will not work?

Live! Cam Voice problems

Hi I'm using Windows Vista and I got a few problems about the Live! Cam Voice camera.
First I installed it, with the cable in the computer, then I read the cable shouldn't be in the computer so I uninstalled what was possible uninstalling and deleted the "Creative" directory which contained some files still. But now when I'm trying to install it I'm getting either some kind of "Setup.cpp" error, or I'm getting a "Setup.exe has stopped working". I've tried uninstalling it again but I'm still getting errors. How am I supposed to uninstall all of the installation so I can reinstall?
Also I don't get the manual of installing the Vista driver. It says something like "1. Install the package 2. Go to control>sound and change some options there". I didn't know where I should install it, so I installed it in default path and tried to open the .exe files and none of them were working. Are they supposed to be working?

Ok, I waited one day and now the setup is working, so now I inserted the cam when it told me to. But I still need to install the vista drivers, else it's telling me "No supported Live! Cam detected. Please plug in to continue...". How do I run the exe files and where should I extract the exe files? Or do I need to run them at all? Help please:S I'm using Vista 32 bit

Live! Cam Voice Shuts Down When Using Motion Detection Feature

I'm running XP Media Center 2002.
I just installed Live! Cam Voice. Started using it and is was fine out of the box. I updated the drivers and i also decided to update the drivers for my SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS.
The problem only seemed to occur when using the Motion Detection. Shortly after using it, I'd get a Microsoft error prompting the WebCam Center to shut down.
First I uninstalled the software and reinstalled it using the original drivers on the supplied disk. I still had the problem. So i rolled back the drivers on my sound card. That seems to have fixed the problem... Thought you'd want to know.
To be clear the Cam driver I'm using is .0.8.206. I believe this is the one that came w/ the install disk. Hope this helps anyone else who's experienced similar problems.....

I have the same problem. I only get 6-7 fps max. I've never seen anything above 0 fps which is a disgrace. My computer is and Athlon64 X2 4800 with 2GB RAM so it's nothing to do with spec. This behaviour was the same in driver version .0.8 as well as the latest one... .0.02 or something.
Also, since the last driver update, the whitebalance and focus when on automatic is dreadful. I'm not impressed.

Live! Cam Voice - Microphone compatibility w/ Windows Vista Ultimate

I recently got the Live! Cam Voice for my computer with Windows Vista Ultimate. And for some reason the built in microphone won't work at all - even the voice recorder, the Yahoo! Messenger in which it was built for and Windows Live Messenger. However the actual webcam works fine. Is there anyway to get the microphone to be compatible with Ultimate?
