Hi,

I have an issue Snapshot from my DS-2CD2132F-IWS.
When I connect to http:// -ip address- /Streaming/channels/1/picture I have the following result:
Code:
<ResponseStatus version="1.0"><requestURL>/Streaming/channels/1/picture</requestURL><statusCode>2</statusCode><statusString>Device Busy</statusString></ResponseStatus>

What does it mean?
What can I do?
 
Did you port forward the camera's ports?
 
Pretty much just turn the power off to it, leave it off for a little bit and then turn it back on.

Are you having issues accessing this on the local network or are you trying to access it over the internet?
 
I have restart camera and now I can see the snapshot.
But I do not understand what happened.
Thanks.
 
In my experience, the camera will only send snapshots to one client at a time, and anyone else who requests snapshots gets that error message instead until the first client has stopped requesting snapshots for a second or two. It is probably some primitive form of request throttling to compensate for inefficient snapshot creation.
