Title: New with this camera : don't work on D-Link View Cam
Post by: tafkap95 on April 07, 2014, 04:57:37 AM: Hi all,

i bought recently this camera (pack of two cameras), the installation of camera went well, i have a IP address and ping command works fine, but in software D-Link ViewCam when i want to connect the camera, i get the following status : 'Connecting' and 'Disconnected', it should take about 2 seconds, no error, no explanation. I have the same behavior with 'Surveillance Station' on my Synology NAS.

Thanks for your help.

Post by: tafkap95 on April 07, 2014, 08:47:02 AM: But i think it's not a problem of D-ViewCam because i have the same issue on Surveillance Station, a software of my Synology NAS.

Post by: tafkap95 on April 08, 2014, 12:46:04 AM: Hi,

i downloaded the latest version and new bundle, i desinstalled all software and made a new installation. I still have the same problem, i use DHCP protocol, i have the address 192.168.1.13 on port 80 (this port is open i checked). Same problem with Surveillance Station of my Synology NAS. :-[

But how i check the new version firmware ?

It's really frustrating and incomprehensible.

Post by: JavaLawyer on April 08, 2014, 04:52:26 AM: You can check the firmware version by logging into the DCS-5222L web UI by entering the camera IP address in a browser on a PC on the same LAN as the camera. After logging in, the firmware version should be listed on the top corner of the screen. Alternatively, you can navigate to STATUS > Device Info

Is your IP address 192.168.1.13 in the range you established for your router? Are you 100% sure there are no other devices with a static IP address set to x.x.x.13 that may be trying to steal the IP from the camera? It wouldn't hurt to try another IP address to be sure.

Post by: tafkap95 on April 08, 2014, 10:43:50 AM: Well it's a crazy story...

i can't log me into the DCS-5222L web UI.

First step, i create an user account with privilege on my camera. In browser i enter the camera IP address, i put the login/password and the web site tell me "Please enter correct account/password.". I tried with admin account and it's not work.

I deleted the camera and had a new installation of camera by Search, the system found my camera, good, when i select it the system tell me "Can't connect to IP camera. Please check the network setting", well probably my problem, so what can i check ? I don't understand this message... Notice that i can ping the camera by IP address it's work fine.

Thanks a lot lot for your help.

Post by: JavaLawyer on April 12, 2014, 09:50:02 AM: Does the password use special chararacters? You may want to try only using alphanumeric characters and see if that helps.
