I started using a 5009L and was able to pan/tilt with TinyCam on Android. First thing I did with the camera before setting it up was download and install the latest firmware. Then I set it up. Pan/tilt had been working since then but has recently stopped. I get 401 unauthorized with using the guest account in the TinyCam app. When I use the admin account in TinyCam I cannot pan/tilt and I get no message whatsoever. I've tried a myriad of IP cam apps from the store but I just cannot pan/tilt anymore. After installing it and updating the firmware it worked. Weeks later it just stopped inexplicably.

I used to work around this by just accessing my desktop, opening the browser (Firefox) and logging in. NOW Java complains about the certificate and revokes it so Java doesn't even load the applet anymore! WHARRGARBL! xD

Frustrated at this point and am not sure what to do. ;(

What Hardware version is your DCS? A1 (mmmm...)

What Firmware version is currently loaded? 5009L 1.03.01

What region are you located? USA NE

What Mfr and model is the main host router? Linksys E2500, v2.0.00 Firmware

What wireless modes are you using? Was N-Only with Auto Channel Width, set to 11. I just now set it to Mixed with Channel Width auto, channel 11.

I had tried the Java article you linked and at first it appeared to be unsuccessful. However going back now and trying it with the browser it is loading. So at least I have that back. The Pan/Tilt bit is frustrating as I'm not sure where the issue lies. Whether it be the camera or the phone app. None of the apps I have tried can access the Pan/Tilt and it had worked fine when I first set up the camera. :\

Not sure if 3rd party apps are supporting of pan tilt or if D-link allows the use of 3rd party apps to access features on the camera. You'd need to contact the mfr of the 3rd party app for help and information regarding this.

OK. I figure I will give that a try. Another issue cropped up and this one seems unreal. The color quality just took a nose dive. It's all washed out now.

Try a factory reset and set up from scratch...

Sorry for the late response but yeah I've tried that. RMA'ing the camera. Found other threads on the issue. Seems like issues with the IR filter.

Ok. Let us know how the new one works out. Keep us posted. If this is the case for the particular problem, then users will need to contact D-Link and get there cameras RMAd.
