Title: My D-Link & Static IPs
Post by: dpetherton on September 06, 2011, 03:47:46 PM

I am a novice at this, so please bear with me.  I had a problem with my DCS 930 L cameras falling off of my network and not being able to view/record with the D-View Cam Software.  Assigning static IPs solved the problem, but now all 4 of my cameras show "off-line" on My D-link page and also cannot be viewed using the D-Link Lite App on my smart phone.  How can I have the best of both worlds?

Thanks for your help!

Have you tried removing the camera from mydlink and relacing it?
I had to do that when I made some changes.

Yep,  Removed and re-installed.  The funny thing is that as soon as I change the parameters back to DHCP, I can see the camera just fine on the MyDlink page and the iPhone app.  If the computer restarts, my cameras will get dropped from the monitoring software because they have been assigned a new IP Address and D-View Cam can't find them.  What a pain, I lknow it's something simple, but I'm still a novice at this and can't quite figure it out.

It sounds like you are not allocating the fixed IP in your router - I went through a similar issue, found the router has priority over the camera. What kind of router?

It's a Linksys E3000.
