Title: FTP and e-mail suddenly stopped working
Post by: AndreasElin on November 06, 2012, 11:19:39 AM

I have had a setup in which my four DCS-930Ls transfer picture every 15 minutes over a Dovado-router connected to a mobile broadband modem. This has worked perfectly until this last night. No pictures are transferred and upon using the test FTP function the status page just says "Testing ...." forever. I've also tested e-mailing picture without success.

I've tried accessing the ftp-server from my computer (not using the broadband modem), and it works. I can access the cameras over mydlink, it just emailing and FTP that doesn't work.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it my mobile broadband operator that's blocking or is it something with mydlink?

Experiencing the same with a DCS-2121 and a Dovado tiny.
Only way to get it up and running again is to reboot the camera.
I am now looking for a way to do that automagically.
Any suggestions?

Highly unlikely.  How would the camera know?  Are there error messages in the log?

There are devices for sale at Best Buy that allow you to control 'lights' or device power remotely.  You could reboot the camera that way if you suspect email is broke..
