Getting Camera's to work

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   circtsplus,

I didn't setup a local and a remote for each account. I was able to just use my remote ip, and setup port forwarding. Works fine, and I don't have to keep switching between accounts. I guess it may depend on your router and how it's configured.

In the next update, I'm going to increase the number of accounts, so you can do either way.

On your camera problem, I think I found the issue. If you are using a username/password, there is a bug that can cause the crash you're seeing. I fixed it and it will be in the next release. In the mean time, try seeing if you can enable guest access, so it doesn't require the username/password.

	Aaron - I assume the camera problem reference was to me. YES, I am using UN and PW. do you want me to forward my URL, etc. to you or do you believe that this is the issue and I should just wait for the fix/remove UN/PW if I want to view in the meantime? thanks.

	hey gary, I think you both might be having the same problem. If you want, go ahead and PM me the information, and I'll make sure that it works, since Apple will probably take a day or two to approve the update. Aaron

	That's awesome. Thanks for the quick response on that. I assume next release will be soon (a week?) depending on Apple's approval. did you try various resolutions (e.g. 640X480) Many thanks.

	Gary, I tried 320x240 and 640x480. Both seemed to work fine. I've fixed the few little things that have come up, if there is nothing else by the end of today, I'm going to go ahead and submit it to apple. Aaron

	Aaron, I am curious how you are able to use just one account for both local and remote access. I can't seem to make that work when using the local network connection and trying to connect to the system through my dns updater url......wasn't aware that something could be set to allow this to work? Thanks, Dave

	Aaron, I verified that the camera does work when setting up a guest user. Can I only view snapshot images, or can I do live video? Doesn't seem to work unless I enter the url to do a snapshot. Thanks, Dave

	circtsplus, You're right, it is constantly refreshes the snapshot to give the appearance of live motion video. I did find a small bug I just fixed, where sometimes it would get a few frames and stop. I just put in my router's IP address, and setup the port fowarding, and it worked... I'll do some more research into the matter. Aaron Edited by aaron.ard - 30 Jun 2010 at 2:22pm

	I have a KX-HCM110A and I was having the same problem, but enabling the guest account seems to work. I can now view the live video feed. Thanks for all the info!
