Wireless security cam

hi,
I am planning to install several wireless security cams at home, and the one from linksys seemed a good choice to me.
I am looking for a specific feature that I am not able to find any explanation on. In the features I see that I am abe to watch live immages remotely, and record those live images. What I am also looking for, is that the system can automatically takes and record immages, even when I am not connected to the cam. assumethat there is a stranger in our house, I wantthose images t be recorded at a later stage so that I can see who has been there.
Is that possible with the linksys cam?
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Koen

Yes,using the motion detection feature on the linksys camera it is possible...Some good linksys camera are WVC54GC,WVC54GCA,WVC80N.

Wireless Security Camera for mobile phone

hi everyone,
i would like to know can we provide wireless security camera for mobile phones. is there any service providers for that.
please clarify me.
thanks in advance

I asked because we do not want to recommend any cams that may confuse you even more. The more details we have on why you are confused the better.
Check out this website which may offer some suggestions: www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage1.html. EZJim's site mostly deals w/iSight and various other video methods. He actually hangs out in the iSight forums which is where you can possibly post to him. He's there quite regularly. He's the most likely person here who can perhaps offer you many suggestions.

Wireless security camera

Is there a wireless security camera that requires no PC, just works directly with my Mac & new Airbase ?

I briefly tested SecuritySpy and it seemed to work pretty well. If that doesn't seem to fit your needs, you search MacUpdate for something like "security camera" you'll find other applications.

110 Wireless Security Camera Solution

Listed below is what we need to quote our end user (school)....if the setup is even possible.
110 Wireless IP Cameras (2.8Gbps)
DVR/Server/Routers
Any other necessary hardware
Does anyone have any insight on this topic? I haven't had the opportunity to quote any surveillance systems this large before.
Thanks!

There are some challenges in reaching a 110 camera solution. Things you need to plan for with a Cisco Small Business solution:
* You have two options for the wireless camera. WVC210 & WVC2300. For security applications include low-light & no-light (with IR illuminators) conditions, the best option is the WVC2300. You can also customize the lens on the WVC2300 to match your field of view needs for each individual camera. Both WVC210 and WVC2300 are indoor cameras. If you need cameras outdoors, the PVC2300 and PVC300 are excellent options which support POE.
* For management software, all the cameras come with SWVMS16. This has the ability to manage, view, record, and playback 16 cameras at once. For a 110 camera solution, you'd need to deploy 7 windows computers running SWVMS16. Technically feasible, but managing each application would a burden. If you can break down the monitoring into sections/categories that might make this step easeier. Even the common 3rd party Video Management Software from ONSSI, Nuuo, & Milestone don't scale to 110 cameras without having to buy their enterprise level central management system software.
* Besides the video management software, you'll need enough storage capacity to store the video. This will depend on the complexity of the video stream (how well the codec can compress the data), resolution, and frames per second. If we assume 250Kbps per camera x 110 cameras = 27500 Kbps total. You'd need over 6TB of storage to hold just under 21 days of video. You'll want to make sure the data is protected in a NAS or server with RAID. You'll also need to make sure the NAS or server can handle the incoming bandwidth. If not you'll need multiple storage devices.
* You need wireless access points that can handle the number of clients and bandwidth needed. Will depend on physical layout of the 110 cameras.
* You need switches to connect all the access points to the network.
There is definitely alot to define in a solution this large.

Wrt160n with Axis 207w wireless wifi security camera

I can't see the linksys wrt160n in the setup of my wireless security camera. I have the router in default settings, with ssid broadcast enabled. I have tried the different settings, with Radio Band Standard Channel Network Mode. But never do I see the router in the setup of my camera. I see all the other routers in the street and have used the camera for years with my 3com wireless-access point. Wired the camera works fine with the router.

You should use a unique SSID name do not use Linksys. Lets say you use Canadian as your SSID When you view wireless network Canadian Secured network should appear in wireless network or profiles for your camera.
It does not matter if there is more than one network showing in the list. It matters that you connect to the correct network.

Security Cameras & Bridge Mode

Hello,
I am instaling wireless security cameras in my house and I want to be able to monitor things while I am out of town. Try as I might, I am unable to see the cameras outside of my network. When I try to see the port at my current IP, I will get messages similar to "Connection Timeout"
I have a G90-610015-20 DSL modem using PPP0E Protocol. Would switching the modem to bridge mode help?

Yes that would help, as long as: #1 You have a RJ-45 WAN port router. #2 The RJ-45 WAN port of it is connected to the modem combo. #3 And you know the PPPoE Log-in info (user name and password)

Wireless webcam / security cam for use with Intel iMac

Hi all. I want to set up an outdoor web/security cam and a wireless model would be ideal, as I want to be able to put it in different locations.
There seem to be many PC-compatible wireless cameras, but are there any which are compatible with the Mac OS? I don't really want to get into Boot Camp / Parallels territory if possible.

Wireless IP Security Camera for Mac

We have an unfotrunate situation with a neighbor and need a wireless IP camera to work with our apple airports. Does anyone have any recomendations for a camera we can plug into the usb port in our car and record the video onto our mac? I've looked at many cameras on google but am confused. We need something to record overnight in a lighted parkade from inside our car window. This mightbe another way to put our apple products to good use if it can be done. Thanks, Sue

Secure wireless question - Cam my mac remember settings

Greetings,
I have a G4 powerbook laptop and a Linksys wireless router. I currently have a secure 128bit/hex setting on the router. This works very well. The connection is solid and "not broadcast", so essentially it is invisible.
Each time I use the wireless (if I am in a different room of my house) I have to manually enter my password key and select the type of encryption I am using.
How can I have my Mac "remember" the settings?
The drill is I start up, open "Other" (from the wireless control), type in my Network Name, select WEP 40/128-bit hex for Wireless Security, then enter my password key (originally generated by the Linksys Router). I am then good to go.
I have to do this each time I use the wireless setting. Is there any way I can have all those setting "remembered" and to be enacted automatically when not connected via ethernet cable?
Thank you,
TPK

Your not invisible. Even if you don't broadcast your SSID amateur crackers can sniff out your netwok using simple tools that can be downloaded from the net. So whether you hide or broadcast it make no difference to your level of security.
Your security is determinef by the encryption you use. But a WEP key is easily cracked. So you are not really protected at all.
The only protection you should consider using on your linksys box is WPA-PSK.
You should really broadcast your SSID as this helps your neighbours. As wifi becomes more popular neighbours should be aware of choosing none conflicting wireless channels.
So I would suggest you delete all references to your wireless network in your keychain utility. Then remove all the enteries to your wireless network in your preferred networks on your system preferneces>network>show airport.
Then setup your linksys box to broadcast the SSID, and setup a WPA pre shared key.
Then the first time you connect to it using your mac save the save the password in the keychain.

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...

Port forwarding security cameras WPA2 blocked?

I just bought an Airport Extreme router and set up port forwarding for home security cameras.
When I have no security - I can access the cameras remotely (iPhone) and locally with no problems on my iPhone. However, when I add on WPA2 security everything gets blocked. Is there a firewall or feature inside the AEBS that needs to be modified? Help!

The fact that you can access the cameras remotely verifies that the port settings are correct on your AEBS.
Wireless security does not use ports as it is a local network feature so no additional base station settings should be required.
The issue appears to be with your iPhone Wi-Fi connection when wireless security is enabled. WPA2 is supported with all iPhone models.
I would recommend at this point to change the security password to see if this resolves the problem. Temporarily try the following as the base station's Wireless Security password: 0123456789abcdef0123456789
Note that there are exactly 26 characters. If this works, go ahead and change the password. I would recommend one that contains a combination of 26 letters, numbers, & punctuation marks without using any spaces.

Monitoring a security camera

Have you had experience connecting a security camera at home and monitoring it through Safari? My home configuration is a Mac Pro hard-wired to a router, though the router is also wireless. Ideally the camera would establish a wireless link to the router. While away from home, I'd like to be able to open a browser window into the camera, using my Macbook Pro. I have no iSight camera on the Mac Pro at home. Though less convenient, I could attach a camera to the Mac Pro through some port. Thanks!

(1) If you want to shop for one of the widely available dedicated internet security cameras, be sure that both the hardware and the software that is bundled with it are compatible with your internet service, router, Mac, and Mac OS version. If you ask, the seller should be able to guarantee compatibility or explain exchange privileges before you buy.
(2) If you want to use a webcam operated by your Mac Pro, see this link for camera possibiities:

and this link to find some webcam/surveillance/nanny cam apps that may do what you want:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html
EvoCam is one of the more popular apps that let you monitor security via an internet browser like Safari. Security Spy is another, but it currently has a know issue with the Safari browser when running Snow Leopard. Security Spy's download page lists certain other browsers are compatible now. Regardless of which app offers the features you want, carefully review System Requirements and compatibility info in their web pages for current status.

Accessing Security Cameras Remotely

I have security cameras attached to a DVR. The DVR is plugged into my Airport Extreme. I have a static IP address from my ISP. I am vaguely aware that I need to assign the DVR a local IP address and use port forwarding to access the DVR remotely. However, I have had zero luck getting this to work.
Help!

There are two basic steps for configuring port mapping: 1) Assigning a static (or DHCP-reserved) IP address to the host device ... in this case the security camera, and 2) Configure port mapping on the router.
AEBSn - Port Mapping Setup
To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the camera.
Internet > DHCP tab
o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
o Reserve address by: MAC Address
o Click Continue.
o MAC Address: <enter the MAC hardware address of the camera>
o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address to be reserved for the camera>
o Click Done.
2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
Advanced > Port Mapping tab
o Click the "+" (Add) button
o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
o Public UDP Port(s): <enter the appropriate UDP port values>
o Public TCP Port(s): <enter the appropriate TCP port values>
o Private IP Address: <enter the IP address you reserved in the previous step>
o Private UDP Port(s): <enter the same as Public UDP Ports or your choice>
o Private TCP Port(s): <enter the same as Public TCP Ports or your choice>
o Click "Continue"

Wireless Web Cam

A dilema!!! I have a wireless network using a d-link router. 20 feet out back I have a garage...I want to add a webcam for security. I seem to have a number of choices...
1)Wireless camera...can't seem to find one that mentions 'Mac' in the specs?
2)Ethernet camaera...would have to bury a cable underground...hate using shovels but can if necessary.
3)USB camera with a long buried (see above) USB cord! (can USB cords/cameras have that long a connection?)
The last choice (USB) I assume would be the easiest to hook up...assume the computer will just 'see' it without any set up hassle?
The first two (if any wireless cameras for Macs are available) would have to be 'found' by the computer...can imagine the number of calls to 'help lines' that might involve?
Would like to keep it wireless and was looking today at a Lorex mcam 3151...any other suggestions????
