I’m finally setting my camera back up after it’s been sitting in a box for a couple of months after a move.
Anyway, my question is that I can’t seem to stream from the ‘guest’ account. When I log in as admistrator, the viewnetcam page streams the camera just fine with mpeg-4. When I view the page as a guest, I only get a refresh rate of 3 seconds. I swore that I had this working in the past, but can’t seem to find any settings to allow streaming on the web for guests. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh

I have connected a canon laser LBP 2900 with the rt n16 with Tomato USB firmware and the router recognizes it under host Ip0. I have added to the tcp/ip port 9100 as you have said. But it gives a ” Incorrect port error” & says that ” The port to which the printer is connected is not supported. Check the port. ” But I have tried with a Canon IP 1200 inkjet printer & it prints fine. I feel that it might be a CAPT driver problem which doesn’t support tcp/ip port 9100. Can u please help. I need the printing feature badly.

Thanx for any help.

Hi everyone. Ok, so I’ve got the cam setup and working. Now comes the newb question. How do I configure the notify by email setting? I already got the FTP setup working, but the notify just won’t seem to go through. I’ve tried many different setups so far, no good. What I would like it to do is text my phone to notify of any alarms. I’m with verizon and if you send a text to ##########@vtext.com your phone should receive it. Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks for the help!

I setup about 50 of this cameras and do not have any complain son far. Lot of factors affects the performance and stability of the cameras. The web server inside the camera is one of the best ones out there, out-perform even more expesive cameras like AXIS and other recognized brands.

This camera is definitely High-end.

If you need to call Panasonic Tech support too often and have issues, please update your firmware, request a refund or locate professional tech service.

Resseting the router by a friend of you do not indicates you are making a professional job in the troubleshooting guide. The local access of the camera is just for troubleshooting purposes.

In 90% of situations, the problem is in the router or the ISP itself. Normally this cameras are very flexible and trouble free.

Regards!

Whatever else can be said of them, these cameras very definitely do not work “24/7 without fail.” I’ve spent many hours configuring them precisely according to Panasonic support advice, and they invariably go down when I’m depending on them — and always to Panasonic’s utter mystification.

I very much appreciate your advice. As far as I can determine from your tips and from talks with Panasonic and my router maker, I’ve done as much as I can remotely. I also had a petsitter reset the router, and unplug and plug in both cams (the status lights are green on both) — all at tech support’s suggestion and all without result.

(If I could try the other options, which require connecting to the camera locally, I would have no need for the cameras in the first place.)

Edc —

This cameras are designed to work 24/7 for years and never fail. You may be facing a couple of issues:

- issues with your internet provider
– power issues (I recommend to connect this cameras to a UPS)
– issues with viewnetcamsetup or port forward.

The first thing you need to check is you need to confirm and write down ip address of each camera and the ports in use.

Try to connect to the camera locally and check if you have video.

check your public ip address (www.whatismyip.com)from a computer located in the same network

from a computer located outside of your network, try to access your camera by using: http://publicipaddress:port1 and http:publicipaddress:port2

where port1 is port configured for camera 1 and port2 is port configured for camera 2

perhaps will be a good idea to focus first on the wired camera and solve the issue and then focus on the wifi camera.

where public ip address is the ip
