It;s funny, this morning the power went out, so when it got working
again and everything fired up, the router had reassigned it to
192.168.0.9, and I could see it as a wireless device on the network on
the router page, changed the address I had for VLC and it fired right
up. Then later I am looking at the router page for network details, and
it is not listing the cam as being on the network, though it is
streaming to VLC. Strange.
I will keep twiddling with it as I have time. I do not have an N
wireless router. I have another wireless Linksys router hooked up the
DSL wireless modem/router, the camera would not see the DSL wireless
router but it sees the Linksys. I am not sure why I have both hooked
up, I did it as a hack back some time ago, and just left it. Maybe the
Linksys is confusing things. I guess I should disconnect it and see
what happens.

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
Yes, you are thinking correctly.
use as much bandwidth it needs to send a nice clear picture, right? I have
Yes, but:
- Wireless and multicast do not mix well. If you set it up for
unicast that would be better.
* If you can't it -should- work, but the upstream rate will be
limited by the slowest connection in the network.
* You will also have problems watching it remotely.
- If it's 11g, you have an optimistic total bandwidth of about 24 Mbps
(bits not bytes).
- Since I think you are viewing on your laptop you only get half, a
little more if you are using 11n on the laptop.
- If you have any .11b equipment lying around you should turn it off,
that will really kill you.
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.
VLC should be able to give you detailed statistics about what is
happening - if it's the source, there's nothing you can do, but it
will know if there are drops or sequence errors you can tweak your
AP/router.
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.
Cabled => good tells you the source is probably okay, try it with both
ends cabled if you can for the target result. I would think you
should have a decent view, 640x480 is an okay webcam. I'm sure the
locals can tell you how the optics are bad. :)
Best,
