SanJuanWorm Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 I have a wireless webcam which im trying to set up to view remotely over the internet. I had it working but now its not again and its pissin me off. If anyone knows anything about please lemme know. Dave Quote
PeteZahut Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Where are you trying to view it from? If it is from an external computer off your own network, i.e. a work computer, the ports for the stream may be blocked. Can you see it from another computer on your network? Perhaps a description of the problem you are seeing and the setup you have might help. Quote
dAm Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Also make sure the streaming port is open if you're behind a router. I know you said it was working to begin with but I had one that did the same thing. Worked for weeks then all of a sudden didn't. After some troubleshooting I found I never had the right port open. Not sure how it worked to begin with. What software are you using to stream it? Please don't say it's x10 software. I found the easist to use is Simple Cam but the one I like the best is TinCam. Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted June 9, 2007 Author Posted June 9, 2007 Its a linksys cam. I have it hooked up through my network. I can see it if i type the IP in the browser. Now i set it up for port 1024 and port forwarded 1024 to 1024 and assigned teh camera IP and enabled. Now i dont know wtf is wrong. Quote
bhurt Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Dave, I'll talk to my technition on this I know I sell the camera you got. We tested it out for a couple of weeks last year when we first got it and everything seemed at that time to work fine. Could be that yu just got a dud. Anyways will get bac to you. Quote
dAm Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 are you adding the port number when you try to connect from a browser? ie; http://xxx.xxx.xx.x:1024 I would try using port 8080 Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 Port 8080 worked. Thanks Dam. http://dogshit.dyndns.org Im trying to find out who's dog is crappin on my lawn and who the owner is. Quote
dAm Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 rotflmao, that has to be the best reason for a cam yet. Can't wait until daylight. Does the first person to give you a description of the dog get a free box of flies? Glad my suggestion helped. Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 First person to capture STILLS and sends em to me and I catch the guy i'll make em a box o flies. Quote
Taco Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Port 8080 worked. Thanks Dam. http://dogshit.dyndns.org Im trying to find out who's dog is crappin on my lawn and who the owner is.

flyangler Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Not in Cal, not a wireless expert. But OMG is that funny! I applaud your efforts to apply the hi tech to your, uh, earthly problem. Along those lines, a friend spent weeks landscaping his hilly front yard, setting boulders, hand placing stones, planting shrubs and flowers. Then along comes a thief and starts stealing his stones! Imagine what the local police had to say when he called them about the case of the missing rocks. No time for that. So he bought himself a camera and sure enough he catches the thief. Turns out to be the neighbor directly across the street. Turns out she has mental problems. Kinda took the wind out of the Rock Justice sails, but she gave them all back. Quote
dAm Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 I saw to guys across the street planting a tree. Hope you're not missing one today. Quote
Taco Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Its working now taco. 'K........windy up there today and yer neighbor looks kinda suspicious....... watched it for about 5 minutes..... kinda like fishin chronies or watchin grass grow :wacko: give us 5 minutes warnin before you run around yer lawn nekkid :P Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 Now its set up to see what my dog does during the day. Quote

LynnF Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 I gotta get one of those to spy on my 13 year old. I think DD really got one to spy on Rusty. Or his wife. In which case, that's pretty sick. Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 Hmm maybe i'll point it at Rusty's house. Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 Dude thats my dog. Only good cat is a dead cat. Quote
birchy Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Dude thats my dog. Only good cat is a dead cat. Not sure about that one... don't see any cats sh*ting in your yard! Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted June 12, 2007 Author Posted June 12, 2007 You wont in fact find any cats around my yard Quote
LynnF Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 You wont in fact find any cats around my yard Is that because your camera is outfitted with an AK47? Quote
