How can you tell if port 80 is blocked on my computer? What is the workaround, if it is? How intuitive is it to set the system up to be able to monitor from a smartphone? Can the unit be set up to record only with motion, rather than continuously?

Talk to your service provider regarding Internet ip if real and options for port blocked or not. (Canyouseeme.org) open port check tool. The way it's set up is continuing recording with pictures taking images when motion occurs. My opinion keep as originally set up works out fine. Image quality good for amount spent also lighting use yellow led or yellow type bulbs not white best for night vision image quality.

I ask that question too to the Zmodo tech support when I was trying to resolve my issue with one port in my NVR not working. The answer was NO and he said probably in the future.

CAUTION: telnet is open but ONLY for remote access by Wanscam personell to update the firmware.. User's admin userid & password won't open a session.. Hummm? Block ports 32099 and 32100 outgoing from your ipcams to the internet.. The cams visiciously try to make 6 individual internet connections.. The clincher.. After some allotted time has passed where the cams actually do communicate with the 6 internet addresses they then start their underhanded action.. Apparently they receive a list of IPS to call out to.. Why..?? Don't know know..! Some are valid IPS and others are bogus.. Wanscam is pulling a fast one.! I have repeatedly documented this fact many times.. Each time a new list of IPS is sent to the ipcam.. And who's hosting this blantant spying act..? None other than amazon itself at amazonaws.. I don't know if they have knowledge of this..!

It is supposed to work over WiFi, so you theoretically can view it anywhere. In practice, I had two different units and both were defective --- neither one was ever able to connect to a WiFi network, despite multiple conversations with tech support. So, at least in my experience, the answer is that you cannot monitor it at all unless you connect directly to the unit.

I have 3 cameras and I haven't seen any issues. I only look at my cameras 3-5 times per day so I may have just missed the issue. Are you using different port numbers for each camera? Are you using myfoscam.org as your host? Did you add the IP address of your cameras to your router manually?

Gadgetjq: Great post... but my problem is that I disabled my webcam (thinking to save HD space from something I wouldn't use) and now want it back (now I'm a grandmother going on a trip!) It doesn't appear under My Computer at all. Can I get it back??Thank you for any help!

Here are some ideas:1.Your unit is not working. Replace.2. Device is not configured for DHCP.3. You are connected through local router/firewall, that blocks the port that device is using. Try to Disable firewall, or connect to cable modem directly. (Nowadays, cable modems also have firewalls. Check it as well.4. Your provider's DHCP settings somehow different from your devices? (never seen before, but possible)

Hi Omar, Nice to hear from you. Yes, you are right, the network streaming feature from PC and Mobile, it needs the ActiveX and you could use browser and CMS to realize remote real time monitor, the advised browser is IE explorer. Pls kindly contact me if any question. Best regards! Security Sannce

I don't know, James, because we sent the camera back! Something that only records for 10 seconds when it activates was not what we needed. We got a netcam instead! Goggling the camera model doesn't turn up anything?

I will have to check on that. I don't believe my tv has any widgets. Looks like the LAN port is just for firmware updates. Thanks for the reply.

Sorry if this doesn't answer your question, but it is a true port through camera with it's own network address. The camera is also given a true static IP address on the company's server, which means it can be given a dedicated address that you share or not share as you choose, so any smart phone can access the camera from anywhere. The motion notification appears to be on the firmware setup and according to the manual it has an app for a smart phone, but that is as far as I can go to answer your question. I use the camera with the record feature and I love it. Even the night vision quality is great. The resolution is better than cameras that cost thousands more.

You can.That's basically how I set mine up.Call foscam support if you get stuck anywhere.Some find the portforwarding settings a bit confusing. Just fyi. Support is very helpful, they can remote access your pc if need be.

Hmm that is strange, as I have mine set up and it runs without a hitch! I do have it set to record upon motion detected, and it has caught most everything, even squirrels and cats walking by. I have not used the timed hours feature, I should try it to see if it works correctly. You might double check the clock it is going by, to ensure it has the correct time. I am sorry to hear that there is no support, I guess I will just cross my fingers and hope that mine continues to work as it has so far - perfectly. I have experienced the fact that when it is recording, the viewpoint defaults to the camera with which it is recording with, and you cannot see the other camera(s) while it is recording. I just have the 2 cameras, and when I have it in quad mode, it does warn me that scheduled recording cannot begin as long as it is in quad mode; I just get seasick watching it constantly switch back and forth between the cameras, and I want to see both of them at once, all the time, hence the quad mode viewing. I have been very happy with this product. I hope you are able to get your issues resolved.

Hi. Bought one a few weeks ago, here is what I learned. Yes, the monitor needs to be mounted in the base and hooked with network cable into your router (A short cable was included). guessing it will work with Vista, and Win 7 32 bit appears the better choice to capture photo or video. Other comments on this site look like 64 bit does not record. I have experinced that. I did get the ipod app to work but not the ipad. Yes, needs to be plugged in only for power. Wireless worked fine for me. They can work indoors. The 500 foot is line of sight. If you have walls, etc, it will reduce the distance. The Uniden web site to view video has been down a couple of time when trying to access. The ipod app still worked when the PC site was down. You will want to confrim, but I think PC mean IE Browser and a windows computer. I have not spent much time with the record or email alerts so can't help you there. Over all it isn't perfect but was easier than buying a web cam and trying to modify router settings. Long term there is risk on how long Uniden will want to provide internet access as a free service. Overall set up to monitor my remote site went well. Hope that helps

I cannot answer this because none of my computers have windows 8, most of mine are in windows 7 and once the port that was being used is closed down (pulling the cable out of the port) for any reason the port cannot be reopened. OS not recognizing the cable that is being used and now denies and further useage of that port with that cable.(this is basically what I remember from the IO tech assistant's conversation)

I need to be able to monitor packets traveling through all ports on the switch. My understanding is I would need a switch that does port duplication? For example, using a PC running WireShark on port1, I need to see what's traveling between the devices on port2 and port3.This is my first time doing this, so I want to make sure I can do this with this switch.Anyone have the answer?Thanks in advance,A

It will mark on the video feed sections where it sensed motion, and you can set the sensitivity. It also lets you send a email, but I have never tired that. Unfortunately my motion capture seems to be having issues. Where it would normally mark the video in red where it sees motion I get sections of video that are missing, I have tried replacing the main DVR (NVR) but I still have the issue. The issue was not happening when I first got my unit, so not sure what caused it to start happening and others do not seem to have this issue.
