Hi folks: Just bought one of these cameras to try and so far it seems great - much better image quality than the wirless X-10 cameras I had been using. One issue has occurred. When using the active X over the internet to view the video the video seems to freeze about every 5 to 10 seconds - it usually comes back after another few seconds. (Freezing does not occur on my local network)
Would I be correct to assume that this is an uplink problem? - i.e. upload capacity of my DSL line is not fast enough to accomodate the streaming video? I set the image to be 160 x 120, 15 fps and very high compresion - this seemed to help a bit. Is there anything else I should be doing (firmware version is 3.00 2005-11-16)
Best regards, thanks for any suggestions you can offer...
Dave, While of course it may be a capacity issue. Is the video smoother at different times of the day? or is it every 5-10 seconds no matter what time of day. It may be security software checking the stream. How is your firewall/router set? Do you have a designated port for the camera?
Let me know if that helps at all.
Good Luck,
Tim

I'm having the same problem except ten times worse. I am positive it has to do with the router, because I had to mess with it to get my Windows Live messenger to work...

Setting up 4 cameras. Have added them in IPView SE, and they are monitoring/recording. However, I need to set up for remote access, also. Whenever I attempt to "Add Camera" in Admin app I get an error message that tells me I am entering an incorrect MAC address. I know the MAC addresses are correct. I got them off the cameras and compared them with info in IPView SE. What am I doing wrong? And do I even Need to set up the cameras in Admin app to gain remote access?
