If I can get this working I'd like to make the camera publicly accessible for passive viewing as from the mountaintop the views are quite picturesque. Here in New Zealand we have a static public IP on our Internet gateway which means that to reach the camera from outside requires two NAtted steps. I hope to get that link fixed this afternoon which might or might not fix the problem - we'll see. I think the problem might be a hardware one - one of the links I connect to the camera through is unstable which might be preventing the video feed establishing. it responds perfectly well when on a local LAN but not when NATted across a network.
Likewise attempts to contact it through vipcam appear to be reaching it but there is no response.Īs I have to go up the mountain again to plug myself into it to make any configuration changes I thought I'd ask if anyone has any ideas what the problem might be before I do so. I can ping it from the second router, to which it is directly connected by wireless, and I can see from the packet counter that attempts to contact it on port 99 are being passed through, but it isn't responding.

However although the unit worked perfectly on my local LAN - or almost perfectly as I couldn't get the lights to work perhaps because the manual is somewhat vague about how you work them - I cannot get any response from it across the network through two natted routers. We're adding a wind turbine to supplement the solar panels on one of our very remote mountaintop wireless relay sites and I bought I Wanscam outdoor camera to monitor it for damage.
