sweex ip camera help please

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.webcam (More info?)

Works right now... at about one frame per second .
Which may be good enough for visitors . Is for me.
What is your Internet connection upload speed..
that may be the limiting factor.

I'm not familiar with sweex ip cams but have seen what appears to be
identical cam on many ip cams listed on ebay/us under various names.
Can't access admin to see what configs are ;( but can speculate ...if
you have not already done so, you might try setting the cam to a 'fixed ip'
and also set the first cam dns to your routers lan ip# and second cam dns to
routers second or third default www dns ip. Make sure the cam gateway mask
matches the routers lan mask.

Most routers are pretty good on handling time requests - above should put
time in good shape , If the cam has ip setting for time server you might
try using the router lan ip ....... not all time servers are reliable..
it's sounding like it is asking for time from an iffy time server at each
cam reboot. Might have to change your routers time server ip. I dunno,
I'm just rambling.
