In the Server View can Display 6 cam sorted by servers, then On the server list, right-click on a camera to open the menu options to connect all cam,but only can see one cam image to be displayed why ?

Make sure you have the proper username (admin) and password entered when adding the camera. You can go back an edit them if did not enter it when adding the camera.

I sure username (admin) and password can adding the camera and go edit the camera,
In main console server can see all camera image , but in remote live viewere user admin a/c  login to main console server can display 6 cam sorted by servers then connect all cam to see camera image only display one camera1 image,it see camera2 image need disconnect camera1 then connect  camera2.

I am currently looking into this situation. You can connect multiply servers and view 1 camera from each server which make user of the multi channel view, however you can view only one live stream from each server it seems.

I have the same issue, you can only view one camera at a time, in order to see video from a second camera you have to disconnect the first.
thanks for your help

Yes. This is a limitation of the application. One camera stream per connected server.

I registered up just so I could chime in on this... This is by far one of the biggest disappointments I've ever seen in a piece of software...

I mean come on... there should not be this limitation at all and I hope it gets fixed asap.  one camera at a time is just ridiculous...  so until then, I am forced to open up 9 internet explorer's and just go into the web server for each camera and size them all just right so I can remotely watch them all...

come on dlink, deliver and fix this so we can stream more cameras from one server to a remote viewer...

The camera's can be added to the software remotely not using the remote live viewer just when you add the camera to D-VIewCam3.0 use the remote address.

You can watch one camera from each server at a time. You will need to disconnect/connect to see the next one. I have not been able to get the camera-switch-process working from remote...

I registered just so I could comment about this issue:

In the "Remote Live View" you can setup as many cameras as you want.  There is no issue with getting them to be setup.

However, within the boxes, regardless of whether you have 1, 4, 6, 9, 10, 16 or N it will simply only display ONE VIDEO.  Only ONE CAMERA will be connected.  All the other boxes will be BLACK and will not connect.

You have to manually DISCONNECT the active camera and then CONNECT a different one.

THAT TOTALLY DEFEATS THE POINT OF HAVING A 4, 6, 9, 10, 16, N grid.  you might as well just have a "1" because you can't even see a static image of the other ones.

I am pretty sure this WAS NOT INTENDED and is simply a bug with the code that is not allowing > 1 camera to be connected at a time.  Why?  Because the Main console software of course allows you have more than stream, so the web version should be no different.

Hoping dlink support can relay that they understand this issue and advise when they will look into it.  The whole point of a netcam, aside from the positioning, is to allow yourself ability to remotely access via the web.  Yes, you can use the single internally hosted website, but that only lets you view one camera at a time, unless you do what the above person did where they opened a bunch of IE windows and resized them all.

SECONDAY QUESTION - Does Remote Live View simply NOT work at all in firefox?  I can only get it to function in IE.  In Firefox none of the buttons work

[Mackerel]

Noticed the same thing. Must be the way the HTML is generated. IE is specific, and Firefox holds to the standard... So it is a bug in implementation of the generated HTML... As long as it works in IE, we're still having a workable work-around.

In case everyone is still stuck on this, I have a solution that works for me.

If you go into the computer that has live viewer enabled, add multiple IP addresses to the machine. for instance, if you typically connect to 10.10.10.1, then go into that box and also add 10.10.10.2, 10.10.10.3, etc. do this for the number of cameras you have.

Once that is done, when connecting to the live viewer, you can pick one camera from each IP, and the system then thinks you are connecting to different servers when actually you are connecting to the same one multiple times.

THANKS jlandress!!!!!!

You saved me, I've been struggling whit this for days till I saw your post!
That's a very intelligent way to find a workaround and it works 100%. I can't believe Dlink haven't fixed this yet.

I'd just like to add that once you create (on the remote live viewer) as many servers as cameras you have, then you can create a group and add to that group one different camera from each server. That way you only need to connect to the group to see all the cameras at a time!

Anyway, just thank you again.

Bump
Other than the work around motioned about multiple IP address has this been resolved?  How come it works fine locally but not remotely?

[diogomaul]

Same problem here! Any decent solution from DLINK?
