    Help! Two cameras no longer receiving signals

    Yes, as I indicated, I added the port in the url with no connection for both a working and non-working camera. I'm unfamiliar with the Foscam Scan Tool. Is it downloadable? I use the Foscam Pro app for my iPad and iPhone and I just discovered I can view the cameras on it. THe wife uses the...

    Help! Two cameras no longer receiving signals

    I assume you mean input the IP address into the URL bar? I did so with and without the port and it states webpage not available. But I also tried again with a working camera and received the same message. Therefore, I'm not sure I'm doing it right. Amazing how I set these things up a few years...

    Help! Two cameras no longer receiving signals

    I have 6 Foscam FI8910W cams using Blue Iris, of course, for a few years now with very little problem. All of a sudden (since this morning) 2 cameras are blank with a message "No Signal". A smaller message below indicates: ERROR: 8000274c (timeout; check IP address and port) 0. The other camera...

    Outdoor Wifi Camera

    One reason I'm now staying away from Hikvision is based on the information from their tech support. I asked several questions about their WiFi cameras and advice for my needs. The tech indicated their WiFi cameras are 802.11g max. I have an AC router and was hoping there would be newer cameras...

    Outdoor Wifi Camera

    I'm at a tossup between these two Dahua cameras. Can anyone tell me what an advantage one would have over the other? http://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/ipc-hdbw1200e-w-832.html http://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/ipc-hfw1200s-w-920.html Thank you

    Camera Input and silly question....I think.

    Thanks for that input. I'm always open to other ideas and suggestions. I viewed the Hikvision site and searched the Network cam products which led me to my question of wireless because I didn't see any of them state "wireless". When I viewed the specs, I still saw nothing of wireless and viewed...

    Camera Input and silly question....I think.

    The wireless question wasn't specific about this item, it was a question in the general sense.

    Camera Input and silly question....I think.

    Anyone have personal experience with the Foscam model Fi9826P? The silly question is even though a camera is an IP camera, that doesn't mean it's a wireless camera.......correct? If I want a wireless camera, it would need to state "wireless IP camera".....again, correct? Thanks for the help.

    Motion Detection

    I'm searching for an affordable smaller or hidden camera with a few features, one being motion activated to alert and start recording. I have viewed some cameras I like which are affordable but not always motion activated. Therefore, I was thinking and I think I recall reading somewhere before...

    Hidden/Nanny cam

    Not sure what you're referring as hard wired but I have several cameras in my home which are wireless. If you're referring to the power as wired, then I see your point, but when I state wireless, I mean no Ethernet cable hookup. I do expect a power cord to power the device. See my reply above...

    Hidden/Nanny cam

    I asked her the same question. She doesn't want the person to see it then run. She wants to see who it is and why they are there or what they are doing. That camera appears to be hardwired connected. Am I wrong?

    Hidden/Nanny cam

    My sister suspects an intruder in her apt while she is away at work. She would like an affordable hidden IP camera which allows remote access with motion activation when detected to allow viewing on her phone and/or PC. I searched spy shops, Amazon, etc. and learned that hidden IP cams with with...

    Warning Icon

    Currently, I have 5 cameras up and running using BI version 3. Lately, I noticed the triangular warning icon displaying on the camera pane of all cameras but more so on two of them. Reading the description in the help section indicates the warning can be No signal, FPS mismatch or webcasting...

    Remote Viewing

    Ok, I believe the problem lies within the router and it's support, or lack thereof, of VPN on the smartphone. After contacting Netgear, who has been no help, the decision has been made to return the router which we purchased Dec. 30 and I purchased an Asus model which clearly indicates VPN...

    Is there a better option? I thought that was the only option because that is what is in the router set up. Even reading through the support notes on the Netgear website they don't talk about a user name or password for the VPN sever or network.

    Yes, I turned off wifi on my phone to try through LTE. I am wondering if it is the iPhone. Everything on Netgear says that it is not compatible with iOS or Android devices.

    By the way, the OpenVPN app says that I need a .ovpn file, but the group of files that were exported from the router did not include a .opvn file. here are the files it included: ca.crt client.crt client.key client2.conf I think I was able to copy these files to my phone, but even when I...

    I tried a different port and was still able to get connected on the network, but still can't get connected on the Internet. I am still wondering about the VPN. I never set up a user name or password for the VPN when I set it up on the router, I think there is a step missing. in the process.

    Even if I can get the port forwarding to work I would really like to get the VPN to work and disconnect the port forwarding. I will have to test the port forwarding from my computer when I am at the office tomorrow, but so far it hasn't worked on my phone, but that might just be because I can't...

    Not sure what you mean ... make sure to redact only your external ip address...? - - - Updated - - - I am not using the port forwarding on the network, I am just going right to the Blue Iris Server that I set up on the Web server tab.

    by the way, I have also tried the port forwarding option. I am able to log on via the local network, but still can't log on using the port forwarding.

    I just read that you can't try to connect with a device that is on the network, so I tried from my phone, with wifi off, but I am unsure how to get the .ovpn file on the phone

    Just to be clear I think I am having trouble with the Open VPN server. I don't see where there was information to install the server. We don't have a server on our home network. I have followed the instruction both in the video and on the router page, and everything was fine, but how do I...

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. Life got in the way. I have gotten to this point, but I am still unsure how to connect via the iPhone or iPad. I have download the Open VPN on the iPhone, but it is requiring some sort of login, but I haven't set one up yet.
