I'm new to this forum and am not sure where this request should be located, so I hope I put it in the right place. I am stuck trying to get my DCS-3420 (wireless mode) camera to show up in a webpage I created. I found a link on DLink's site, http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=3255&question=DCS%2D3420+on+my+webpage, that talks about the script one needs to make this work, but it does not seem to work.
The camera is talking wirelessly to my DIR-625 wireless router just fine. I can type the ip address into an Internet Explorer address field and it streams video just fine. I got this far by assigning a static ip address to the router and putting the camera's router assigned ip address into the DMZ zone of the router enabling everyone from the outside to see the camera. They do this by typing the routers static ip address into the web address field of IE. (does not work yet with MAC, but this is another problem for another day).
I changed the IP address in the script from DLink to the static ip address I assigned to the router. The port number changes every time one accesses the camera or refreshes there webpage. I verified this by talking to my ISP and they were able to tell me that each time the refreshed the IE page it would send data under another port number. To ensure it was the camera resetting the port each time the page was refreshed I assigned the static ip address directly to the camera and plugged the camera directly onto my ISP's network using an ethernet cable (no router involved).
What I want to see on a webpage is just the streaming image and the clock. Nothing else so this way no one can go into any of the configurations.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Pat
