Estate? I thought you were one of us, not landed gentry. I'll try to be
more respectful.

I bought this wireless vid cam to set up as a monitor on the estate. I
finally got it working on my local network, more or less. The
instructions
were horrible but some web surfing found semi-answers from which my vast
intellect was able to muddle through to getting something other than the
semi-lame windows-based interface it came with to work, by trial and
error
on an address that various things liked. (Using VLC on the mac, and in
Firefox it actually spawns off a Quicktime window that will show the vid,
sometimes, somewhat).
I have not yet done the thing to get a static IP address for it (I did
sign
up to dyndns.com and it shows me my IP address 74.181.162.57 and a name
for my acct that I picked, with a web address that is xxx.dyndns.org, but
nothing that looks like an actual IP address?) to view over a remote
browser. I will have to wrestle with that sometime soon.
I "think" when I put in my network 192.168.0.n address it is only seeing
it
over the local wireless connection. Anyway, with a local network it
should
use as much bandwidth it needs to send a nice clear picture, right? I
have
one stream set for 1mbps (30frames/sec 640x480), one for 256kbps
(30frames/sec 320x240), , and another one it doesn't say but it is only
10
frames/sec 640x480 so it is probably somewhere in the middle. Anyway,
the
stream shows considerable lag in the picture on the screen showing what
it
is seeing, and a lot of motion artifacts that sometimes just break up
totally and the stream is hosed. The 256k stream seems the most stable
but
even it gets motion artifacts and breaks up. The camera is only about
15ft
from the router and it is getting a strong signal.
So what should I tweak here, or is that just sorta the way it is? I
kinda
expected full high-res living color, at least when connecting over my
local
network. I did have it cabled into the router and it seemed a bit more
stable.
