I bought a linksys wireless video camera, but I cant get it to work wireless. I can log on wired. Anybody got any hints?getting through to their live support has been imposible

Rouselb · 02/21/2009, 03:13 PM

you have to use the forward port option on the router. Set the "Start" and "End" to 1024 and then your "IP address" to the IP of the camera.

Mark I · 02/21/2009, 03:36 PM

I'm not sure how to do that

Rouselb · 02/21/2009, 03:39 PM

Do you know your IP address of the router?? Its usually something like 192.168.1.1?? Can you log into it?

Mark I · 02/21/2009, 03:46 PM

I can log onto the router, and I see port forwarding, but I'm lost on exactly how to do this

Mark I · 02/21/2009, 03:50 PM

Its asking for a service name such as http from a drop down list and the want a number put in at the end of the ip address

Rouselb · 02/21/2009, 04:00 PM

You need to set 3 things:
Start = 1024
End = 1024
IP = 5
Then select commit modifications.

Thanks for trying to help, but this is over my head. I'm taking the camera back

When you post your link post it as follows:

Thats cool, I have to check that out. My camera is also a linksys (webcam user: guest pass: guest) but I would love to embed the video so you don't have to mess with the linksys screen.

You will have to port forward any camera you setup. Its pretty easy on the linksys wireless router. You just have to set the port forwarding. Did you get to the port forwarding page? Did it ask for a range?? Thats where you enter the 1024 to 1024 then it should show your IP address and ask for the last digit. I would set that to 5. Did you get that far?

Rouselb · 02/24/2009, 05:54 PM

I revamped my website where i include streaming video of my tank. I just ordered a new camera this weekend, and i will get some good pictures up later this week. I set the address up so you can click on the little red house or just go here and Check it out.

lvpd186 · 02/24/2009, 07:04 PM

Very nice! Can you explain how you embedded the video? I also use a mac so I should be able to do it the same way.

tinnghe · 02/24/2009, 07:05 PM

If you are not so techie. I just bought a panasonic ip cam all I did was put in the disk click setup and done. Got all the port forwarding stuff done automatically

Rouselb · 02/24/2009, 07:23 PM

lvpd186, There are a few ways to embed it.
1. The easiest way is to use Dreamweaver and set the SCR to your camera address. Mine is
http://24.169.230.100:1024/img/video.mjpeg
2. Use iweb on your mac and create a text string, then make that a hyperlink to your address. Mine is the same as above.
I have dreamweaver, so i used a combination of both. I made the website using iweb, then i opened the page in dreamweaver and set the SCR.

lvpd186 · 02/24/2009, 08:05 PM

Thanks Rouselb, I'll have to figure that out without using dreamweaver.

Rich D · 02/26/2009, 01:48 PM

ok, i got the same web cam for my father that luisgo has (Logitech pro 9000). To set it up, we will either need to get approx. a 16 foot extension usb cord, or buy a usb wireless connecter. Im thinking it would be worth the few extra dollars to get the wireless. Has anybody ever used something like this?http://www.google.com/products/catal...g=p#ps-sellers

luisgo · 02/26/2009, 04:37 PM

bubbles I use an active cable extention, It is necesary because of the distance from my computer to the camera.

Let me know if the Linksys wireless adapter works for you. It sounds like a good idea.

rexdenton · 02/26/2009, 08:31 PM

I actually looked into the extensions earlier today, it seems like it might be better for the price. The fish tank is adjacent to the office so it shouldnt be a problem to drill through the closet wall. We may purchase the linksys wireless in the future if we set up a second webcam.

Rich D · 02/27/2009, 02:05 PM

ooops looks like i forgot to log of my dads account, well that above was me...
