WVC200 1.2.0 firmware - or is it?

Hmm, perhaps I should have left well enough alone. I've had my WVC200 working fine for a while - it emails on motion detection, and saves pics via FTP. But I moved it and thought I should check the web for updates.
I got to the UK Linksys page at:
http://www-uk.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_CASupport_C2&childpagename=UK%2FLayout&cid=1175234040971&packedargs=sku%3DWVC200&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=4097140971B01&displaypage=download#versiondetail
and it showed
"Web UI 1.2.0 7/03/2007"
in the Firmware section.
It downloaded as a 4MB bin file, and on a quick look through this forum I saw 1.2.0 mentioned a few time. Fired up IE, did the update, seemed to go OK... but after a restart I got that sinking feeling.
The display on the WVC200 comes up OK with the correct LAN or WLAN IP. And I still get my photos and vidclips. But, when I run IE and go to the camera's webpage I get the login prompt (seems to work) but no text or buttons!
It's like the normal blue/black template page, but all the text and buttons are gone. There's a Linksys logo at top left, a Cisco one at bottom right, and "WVC200" at top right. Oh, and a zero and a copyright symbol at bottom left. But no buttons, and the pic in the middle is a red cross (not found in other words).
I've rebooted the WVC200 a few times with no change. Tried a different PC in case it was a cache problem. But still no buttons!
It seems to just be the Web UI since the PVC2300 app on my laptop still operates the camera as normal.
My big problem is that sometimes I use the camera on a different LAN, so I need to be able to change its IP address occasionally.
Help! Is it worth me trying the reset procedure? (Haven't tried that 'cos at least I have *some* functionality at the moment.)
Or is there another way to reflash the camera with an earlier firmware? Like a TFTP app or something? I have both the v1.0.1r00 and v1.1.0.r03 BIN files.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks for the idea helm, I've just tried it... but no luck. The tftp app just gives "Unable to get responses from the server.".
I'm trying this from a laptop connected to the WVC200 with a crossover Cat5.
From the same laptop I can ping the camera OK, and the linksysOne app works as well: I can see the camera's video, PTZ works OK, scheduled recording, etc. And I see the camera returns to its motion-detection position after 1min - which is what I had it set at.
But when I use IE, I get the logon prompt and then the empty page with no controls.
What's really infuriating is that I had a look through the source code to find the name of the firmware upgrade page:
http://192.168.9.6/adm/file.cgi?next_file=upg_fw.htm
in the case of my particular camera.
The page comes up like the home page... just a blue template, although there's a Browse... that lets me select a BIN file, there's no "Start Upgrade" control. :-(
The camera seems to be completely OK except for the web front-end. Surely there's some way I can force it to accept and flash the correct BIN file?! I mean, linksysOne has the PTZ etc controls built into an app... it seems very likely to me that the Linksys dev people have an app with the firmware-burning bit in it. But, apart from that TFTP app you spotted, I don't see anything else on the Linksys FTP site that looks likely to help.
I feel really stupid for flashing the camera with what I *guessed* was a new firmware in the absence of a readme... but what the heck is the BIN and why has Linksys put it in the firmware download section for the WVC200?!

WVC200 v1.2 - Successful Wireless & DynDNS Setup with WRT54G v.6 Router

I would just like to report that after hours of tinkering, I managed to configure the camera to run wireless as well as link up with the dynDNS service. I thought I would post the method which worked for my WRT54g/WVC200 combo. Hopefully this will help anyone still stuck on setting it up.
You want to set everything up using wired connections exclusively until everything is working and you are ready to jump to wireless.
Reset your WRT54G router to factory default settings. If you can't access the admin page simply press the reset button on the back of the router and hold it down for about a minute (should reset to factory spec). I am using the latest firmware for each device (linksys phone support can help you with firmware if you don't have the latest stuff, or you can look for other threads on the topic).
Now that your router has a fresh install, unplug its power supply for now. Turn your attention to wiring. Make sure you have a powered-off PC connected to one of the ethernet ports on the router.
Power up your router first, giving it time to boot (usually under 30 seconds). Then power up your PC and pay a visit to your blank router at http://192.168.1.1 user:admin password:admin and leave your internet settings alone for now (they shouldnt affect your camera setup later as long as you have a typical dynamic IP internet connection)
In the first page for the router setup, make sure you use DHCP for the local network (I believe this is the default setting) and set a healthy DHCP user limit. *Apply/Save Settings*
In the wireless menu, broadcast on G-only, channel 6, assign an easy to remember SSID ("smithnetwork" etc) *Apply/Save Settings* . In the wireless security tab, choose WPA, TKIP, and type in a good passcode (strongest passwords are 10 or more randomly typed letters and numbers) *Apply/Save Settings*
Click on the Administration tab, set an equally strong password to access the router setup (can be the same as your wireless encryption passcode if its strong). Additionally, make sure UPnP and Remote Management are disabled, Wireless Management enabled. *Apply/Save Settings* (this should now prompt you for the password you just created in order to return to the router setup)
Go ahead and connect to your newly broadcasting network from a laptop wireless card etc. (which should still give you limited connectivity even if you haven't configured your internet settings yet) by going to http://192.168.1.1 in your browser like I said earlier. If you manage to get to the router menu then you know your wireless network is functioning at least to a certain degree. If you are stuck here, its probably not too complex of a problem for linksys phone tech support to get you back on track.
Note: If you have been tweaking camera settings prior to this attempt, you might want to turn it on without any network cables hooked up and try holding the reset button down (like we did to restore the router's factory settings earlier).
Now get your WVC200 camera and hook up the ethernet cable to one of the open ethernet ports on your router and the port on the camera. Plug in the camera's power supply. At this point, the camera should boot up, calibrate the servo motors, and attempt to join your router's LAN. If your camera does ANYTHING but connect to the network successfully and give you a local IP, you have a problem I haven't encountered and you should re-read the instructions or consider an RMA.
Default Local IPs (assuming each device joined the network in proper order)
Router: 192.168.1.1
Your ethernet-wired PC: 192.168.1.2
Your wirelessly connected laptop: 192.168.1.3
Your camera: 192.168.1.4 (this is what your camera should display on the LCD)
At this point you can confirm your camera is properly placed on the DHCP client table by getting into your router setup and clicking the status tab > local network > DHCP clients table. You should find your 3 devices connected, assigned the above IPs, and you should see the camera (named "WVC200" on the list). Again, if this is not the case for you using factory settings, I reccomend talking to linksys phone support or RMA the item.
Now close all your browsers and load a fresh internet explorer, navigating to the camera's local IP address (should be http://192.168.1.4 or whatever your client table listed). This is basically how you configured your WRT54g router earlier (even uses the same admin/admin login).
Once you're in the camera management page, click on the setup tab. Note the sub-menu that appears on the left side, click on "basic" and make sure camera name is WVC200, LCD/LED enabled, Daylight savings checked, NTP automatic server un-checked, make sure Automatic (DHCP) is set.
Wireless SSID "smithnetwork" or whatever you assigned it earlier in the router wireless setup, network type: infrastructure. *Apply/Save Settings*
In the same Setup > Basic menu, at the very bottom of the page should be the wireless security settings ( default should be "disabled" ). Click the "edit security settings" button, select WPA Personal, it should be on the TKIP algorithm, and don't forget to enter the wireless WPA password you created earlier on the router. *Apply/Save Settings* also: click *Apply/Save Settings* on the main page again too just to be sure it applied. The security settings should now display when you reload the page.
While we are in setup, click on the "users" link to the left, replace the default administrator login with your own custom one, making sure to check the "enable authentication" box. *Apply/Save Settings*
At this point, you should have your WVC200 fully configured and broadcasting video on the wired LAN, if this is not the case, I would have no clue why it wouldn't work with the same equipment and method and you are out of luck.
Now, for the moment of truth! You should have your router right next to you with wireless ready to go (you tested this earlier) and the camera antenna installed on your WVC200. Unplug the power from the camera, unplug the ethernet cable that connects the router and camera to one another, and plug the power back into the camera. After the lens calibrates and stops moving, the wireless LED should light up and probably start flickering as it negotiates a connection with your router. It should find your network and display an IP fairly quick (probably 192.168.1.4 default). If it takes longer than 15 seconds youre probably out of luck and should double-check everything in this post and move on to a different post if it still doesn't work.
I used to spend hours at this point, wondering why it wouldn't join my perfectly functional wireless network. It would try to connect to the wireless network for about 5 minutes, it would appear to successfully connect sometimes, but it would display the incorrect local IP address and would refuse to function regardless of its self-proclaimed connectivity. I learned that the router's WPA2 encryption was overpowering the puny WPA + TKIP on the camera even though I was using AES/TKIP combo on the router (which was supposed to make the router compatible with original WPA + TKIP devices while still letting you use WPA2). Maybe Linksys can include a fix for this in future router/camera firmware.
To make sure the wireless is functioning properly, open up an internet explorer window and try connecting to camera management page again (http://192.168.1.4 by default) while your camera still has no ethernet cable hooked up to it. Check to make sure you can see video etc. I never experienced signal problems like other users did. This combination of router/camera worked well (-21 dB with it sitting next to the router, -39dB in the other room)
DynDNS Service setup:
I basically figured out that while the DNS features on the camera might be useful to some, its still buggy and there is a MUCH more powerful dynDNS feature on the WRT54g router itself. Navigate to your router (default: http://192.168.1.1 ) like you did earlier and get into the setup page. Click the "DDNS" menu and select the dyndns.org, enter your username, password, and domain name. I am assuming you already have a free dyndns account created or would otherwise have no issue setting up an account with them, so I won't cover that in my post. By clicking *Apply/Save Settings* assuming you configured your internet access through the router like you always did, the router should ask your cable/DSL modem what its WAN IP is and display it (the dynamic internet IP address that was making life difficult for you). What's nice about the router handling this task is that the router is usually first to know when the modem changes the IP (therefore it will immediately log in for you and update the dynDNS).
**Important** This camera uses port 80 by default, so while youre still logged into the router managment page, click on the "Applications & Gaming" menu and type an application name like "linksys" , start port 80, end port 80, TCP only, specify the camera's local DHCP address (default: 192.168.1.4) and don't forget to enable it by checking the box then *Apply/Save Settings*
I would allow at least several hours for the dynDNS servers to apply the changes before becoming concerned, but who knows maybe it will work right away for you. At this point, you should have plenty of functionality to play with the rest of the features of the camera, enjoy! I will post any additions/revisions if need be.

Hello -sloth !
Very easy understanding guide !
I have made all what you suggested.
But now I cannot add the camera in the monitor > setup page.
I can see the camera in the camera list WVC200.
IP 192.168.15.101
port 80
But when I press add, I get "connection fail".
Is the port still 80 - since the Channel is set to 6
I have done no port forwarding as other has suggested.
Checking with the browser at : 192.168.15.101
Page can't be found .....
The router says:
WVC200 192.168.15.101 LAN 00:18:39:35:6A:13 23:24:26
The camera displays the same ip .......
The router setup page : Local IP 192.168.15.1
IP Address Range : 192.168.15. 100 to 149
I have made a system restore, and installed the camera sw again.
If I unplug the lan and turn to wireless the camera LCD display: 192.168.1.115 DHCP
But that page cannot be found ......

Yes, I posted this same information in the Video Surveillance section a few weeks ago. it was actually a Partner on the
community who found this and brought it to our attention and we fixed it.
Thanks for cross posting here, since you are right in it also effected this router.
And a big thank you for taking the time to collaborate some very useful information with the community. I have noticed your recent posts and I think they are well writen, helpful, and well organized. I also like your idea of turning some threads into solutions documents and resource labs perhaps.
If you would ever like to post something of that natire, you may also. Just creat a document with your findings.

WVC54GC UK Download firmware 1.21 is in German. Help!

Hi,
I just bought some software to view my camera on my phone and although my WVC200 cameras work fine, the WVC54GC reports incompatible so I went to this Linksys website and downloaded the latest firmware available to the UK which is 1.21
Firmware loaded fine but I now find that language is set to German!
There seems to be no way to set the language in the device so I used the Live Chat facility and explained my problem to "Princess" who was totally unable to help but gave me a support phone number to call at 10 pence per minute.
I called the number and was told that 1.21 was the latest version available to me and that if I reset the camera the language should reset to English.
Of course it didn't, and examining the UK downloaded firmware file I see that the filename contains a nice big "DE" which means it is German.
This is supposed to be Cisco for goodness sakes. And people ask me why I sopped selling Cisco equipment 2 years ago!
Can anyone help me with this? I'd love a link to an English version of 1.25 but all I can find by Googling downloads is 1.26 (available only to the USA for some reason) which apparently would mean I have to change my PC software and I don't hold up much hope for that. It would probably end up being in Swahili or Chinese or something else I cannot read!
Version 1.25 would mean I can at least burn the firmware and use it with my existing viewer software but I can't find anywhere to download it. I can't revert to my previous version because I don't have the .bin file and anyway the support person told me that you cannot load earlier versions of the firmware. Great!
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
David

I just checked the UK page and found out that there are two versions for firmware 1.21. The one below (1.83 MB) is the English version of the firmware and the one on top is German. Try if you can upgrade the firmware using the English version (the 1.83 MB) and see if that will work for you. I checked the release notes for the 1.83 MB and that is how I found it out.

Changing WVC200 from Sololink to TZO (or other DDNS) so that is viewable from the internet

I am currently a Sololink user and I am trying to set up my WVC200 web cam with TZO (or other DDNS) but their website says that “We are sorry to say that this camera is not compatible with our TZO DDNS service. If you have a Linksys router, you can try our DDNS service in your router instead of your camera.” I do not have a Linksys router I have an Actiontec MI424-WR router provided by Verizon and it was working with Sololink. Can anyone help me move the service to TZO or other DDNS? Please let me know and thanks.

We have not tested the WVC200 with TZO, but if the TZO DDNS service is located in the camera after you update to the latest firmware, you can try signing up with TZO by selecting the WVC54GC camera and trying it in the WVC200.
If the camera DDNS doesn't seem to work (sometimes the DDNS code is not tested and may not work properly with our service) you can always go buy a Linksys WVC54GCA camera and use the DDNS in that. Once you have the TZO DDNS setup with ONE camera or router, then you can add other camera's and use the same domain, just increment the port for each different camera you wish to reach
If you have a PC that stays up and running 24/7 at your network where the camera is located, you can also run TZO LITE software on that system and that will synch the WAN IP of your network with the domain name. You can then address the cam using the domain, even though the DDNS in the camera is not used.
One last resort is to go buy a LINKSYS WRT54G2 router, this is a low cost wireless router that has the latest and greatest TZO code in there. You can setup DDNS in this WRT54G2 router and then just hang this router off the back of the verizon router and then the WRT54G2 simply becomes a DDNS device, keeping the domain name synched with the WAN IP
There are many tutorials at the TZO site that may help you understand some of the things you can do with the TZO DDNS service

WVC200 DHCP issue (LAN vs Wireless

Hi All,
I have a WRT600N router from Linksys and bought a second WVC200 camera.
While setting up the first camera I had some trouble during set up (now I have the same issue with the second one).
During installation of the first camera while on the ethernet hookup as instructed the DHCP assigned a specifc IP (192.168.1.107). After succesfully finishing the initial set up I detached power and the ethernet and hooked up power alone again to switch to a wireless connection.
For whatever reason the router assigned a different IP (192.168.1.115) or so I thought....
After tinkering for a while I upgraded the Firmware to the last version and the wireless conection suddenly worked (the IP did not change).
Now to the second camera.
Did the same thing but somehow after the upgrade the IP still doesn't remain the same (despite DHCP reservation). Still falls back to the 192.168.1.115.
What I realised after checking the router is that the router doesn't recognize the wlan connection for whatever reason. I do WPA TKIP and it works just fine with the other wireless equipment. I also switched off and on the wireless MAC Filter and added the MAC address of the second camera with the right IP (192.168.1.108) in the DHCP reservation list as a device (same in the wireless filter list). I also checked the MAC address at least 10 times....
What else can I do to trick the router in finding the camera and assigning the right IP address or is the wireless connection just broken?
Thx for any help.
Malte

I have the exact same problem! I have a WVC200 since a couple of years. It have served well but for a while ago it stopped to work properly. I didn't do anything about it right away but today I thought I should set it right.
I did a firmware upgrade, reseted the camera and started all over with the settings. At first I had a TP-cable in it. My router is a Zonet ZSR0140CP that also acts DHCPserver. I have told the DHCP that the MAC-adress of the camera should have a specific IP-adress. In the camera I have set that it should get a IP-adress from DHCP. I have a D-Link DWL-900AP+ that acts wireless AP. It is WEP Encryption with 64 bit HEX. And it doesn't act as a DHCPserver, it's just an AP
Everything went fine until I broke the electricity to the camera unplugged the TP-cable and plugged the elecricity in again.
For a long while it just serched an IP-adress and when it got one it was 192.168.1.115! Thats not much right in that ip adress... Wherever did it got that from??
Please don't tell me to reset everything. I have already done that. And I still have the same problem. I dont think it is the router/switch/AP who is the problem here.

WVC200 remove and replace

Several Linksys parts (ex: WMP54GS and WUSB54GSC) must be uninstalled before they can be installed again on the same machine. The program is usually named Setup.exe and is located in the Utility subdirectory on the installation CD. (This is a different setup.exe program from the main one also on the CD.)
What I'm trying to do is reinstall a WVC200 camera I stopped using over a year ago. All my old settings were lost after doing a reformat and reinstallation of Windows XP-Pro. Everything "seems" to be going along well with the WVC200 installation CD but it suddenly chokes reporting that it can't find my camera!
Is there a utility somewhere for removing my original WVC200 installation (as in the first paragraph)?
I'm able to access the WVC200 user screen and do a camera setup by accessing the camera's fixed IP address using Internet Explorer. I can only do this when the camera is hard-wired and not in wireless mode. After going through the setup option and entering my wireless information, I can't even connect any longer using Internet Explorer with the cable disconnected.
I'm pretty sure I went through this before and someone (Linksys?) provided a utility to remove my original WVC200 so that the installation CD worked once more and recognized the camera existing.
I'd sure appreciate assistance from anyone out there!
Dave

Which firmware you are using on the Camera...?
Try to reflash/upgrade the firmware of the Camera,reset the Camera and re-configure it from scratch.Do not use CD to install the Camera...Open the setup page and configure it manually.

WVC200 sending snapshots

I have a WVC200 camera with firmware version 1.2.1. I have everything setup and working but it will only send a .asf via E-Mail when motion is detected. My issue is that I can't open the video from my iphone. Can I just send a snapshot? Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Chris,
Thank you for posting. You might try an alternate video player for your iPhone:

I do not have an iPhone so I have no way to test but the site advertises .asf compatibilty for some of the players.

WVC200 sending tmp files

I have one WVC200 and two WVC210. The 200 keeps naming the MD-files as .tmp files, allthough the SR-files is named .asf. With the 210's this is no issue. Is it a bad/wrong setting in the setup, or could it be the surveillance program that causes this? I use one of the older versions.

Thank you for the response. That is what I thought, there is actually newer software on the Cisco.com web site for the WVC200. If you go to the link http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/type.html?mdfid=282414031&i=rs this will allow you to download the latest firmware and monitoring software for that camera. Please be careful, the video monitoring software that you want will be version 1.2, anything newer or higher in number will not be for the WVC200 camera.
When you install this version 1.2 please uninstall any previous version to minimize the chances of it installing incorrectly.
Personally, I have always been a believer of if isn't broke don't fix it. So if everything is good, I would just hang on to the link for future reference.
If I can ever help in any way please let me know.

WVC200 capture image by myself

Hi,
I bought a WVC200 as a more expensive web camera (and wireless too).
I didn't do my homework before buying it. I thought it would be easy to make a program to grab a jpg-capture from the camera. But I haven't found out how.
Uploading to an FTP-server is not the perfect option. Windows applications neither.
Anyone knowing how to grab a screenshot?
Regards
Kjell

Yes more documentation would be desirable. The info I gave was published before in this forum (by the name of 'something'-rebel). But you can find a lot by yourself:
First: The source from the View Video html page itself, which you can get with View Source within your browser. A lot cgi commands are in there.
Second: for further investigation:
The most easy way is to use Ethereal (free) to see the communication between your PC and the camera for each button you press on the View Video page. Filter the stream out in order to see the command traffic.
This learned me how to set the camera to FTP an image every minute.
Third: Download the souce codes from Linksys (they are GPL), you can find them on this link:
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1115416836002&....
Note: the compressed source code for the WVC200(fw1.1.0) for instance is 42Mb, consisting of 11901 files!! and then there are also the required tools and build zips (another 80Mbc). So, if you want to build your own firmware go ahead, though I think you loose warrenty with that, but if I was younger ....
There are other sources of information too (hacker sites (thats where I learned that the GPL exists), Google, and others).
Camera direction controls?: http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/print?board.id=Cameras&message.id=971&page=1&format=page. Digging on this board helps. That's what it is for, I suppose.

WVC200 PTZ Camera

I'm moving this message from the linksysbycisco forum to myciscocommunity at the recommendation of another poster on the linksysbycisco forum.
It doesn't look like anyone has posted on the WVC200 PTZ Camera in over a year. I'm hoping there is a resolution to my problem:
After reading an article on what you need to crack a WPA/TKIP passphrase in under 30 seconds, I made the decision to upgrade my router's encryption to WPA2/AES. When I saw no option for WPA2 on the WVC200, I went online and after opening a cisco.com account to download the updates which is separate from my linksysbycisco.com account that I'm using for this forum???, I downloaded and updated my camera. Still no WPA2. Right now, I pulled it down from my little daughter's room where it was invaluable as a method to find out what went "BAM", and as a deterrent. (i.e. I'm watching you, so don't write on the walls!) Now it is just a piece of junk to me, sitting on my desk. I'm tempted to pull my outdoor Panasonic Camera and put it up in her room, but it's an outdoor camera and it was a real paint to get where I wanted it. I've thought about hard-wiring it, but then, why did I go and buy a wireless camera? Plus I hate crawling around in the attic fishing wire.
SINCE THIS IS A BASIC SECURITY CONCERN FOR ALL LINKSYS/CISCO CUSTOMERS WHO'S CAMERAS CAN BE TURNED AGAINST THEM BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF STANDARD 802.11G ENCRYPTION SUPPORT IN THE FORM OF WPA2, I WOULD HOPE THAT CISCO/LINKSYS WOULD FIX THIS RIGHT AWAY SO NO ONE GETS MURDERED OR HAS THEIR HOUSE ROBBED BECAUSE CISCO DID NOT PROVIDE BASIC SECURITY UPDATES AND A SOPHISTICATED THIEF HACKED INTO THEIR CAMERAS. (Opps, did I say that in all caps? Hello Computer...)
Given that I don't expect an immediate solution despite my somewhat ham-handed plea above, is there a NON-CISCO firmware update like they have for many of the linksys routers? Is there a beta update for this camera? As it is, I just have a hunk of plastic and metal on my desk taunting me. Any ideas would be appreciated. I truly think this is a big security concern for Cisco/Linksys customers and should be addressed ASAP.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Appreciate your concerns and understand what your saying. No need for the 'hall of shame' :-)
The WVC210 is a far superior camera to the WVC200 so our thinking was moving customers to the new 210 should not be an issue. WVC210 supports dual streams, better image sensor/lens, 2-way audio, WIFI certified, etc.   Also the new SVWMS16 (free monitoring application) doesnt support the WVC200, so a good motivation to buy the new one exists there too.
But I I went and searched for the official Cisco EOS/EOL announcement.   I found it:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/vpndevc/ps6918/ps9692/ps9944/ps9946/end_of_life_notice_c51-560292.html
In there is a table of key dates.
End of Phone Support:
HW
The last date to phone support as part of the product warranty. After this date, all phone support services for the product are available with additional charges or support fees. In some cases, support may not be available.
December 25, 2010
Last Ship Date:
HW
The last-possible ship date that can be requested of Cisco and/or its contract manufacturers. Actual ship date is dependent on lead time.
March 25, 2010
Last Date of Support:
HW
The last expected date to receive service and support for the product as entitled by warranty terms and conditions **. After this date, all support services for the product are unavailable, and the product becomes obsolete. Warranty duration is based on product ship dates; refer to warranty terms and conditions for details.
December 31, 2012
So the dates are a big more gracious than I initially assumned.   I am happy to provide this too you and hope this helps.

WVC200 PTZ Issues Please help...

Okay, I have a WVC200, I have tried using the webapp in chrome, firefox, internet explorer as well as the monitor utility to pan or tilt any direction, however nothing ever works. The odd thing is, its not the mechanics because the calibrate feature clearly pans and tilts in all directions, i just simply cant get it to do so on command using the single directions, i messed with the settings a bit to see if it had any change on the issue such as changing from mjpeg to mpeg-4, etc... Anyone have a idea? I also reset to defaults and upgraded the firmware.

These products are being handled by the Cisco Small Business Support Community. (URL: https://supportforums.cisco.com/community/netpro/small-business)

WVC200 1.2.0 firmware - or is it?
