Active X fails to install during my mydlink camera setup. How do I configure my camera's wireless settings? What should I do if I have installation issues in Windows? What should I do if I have installation issues in Mac OS? How to setup email notifications on my mydlink camera? Dec 08, 2011 D-Link DCS-930L:: Can't Setup New 930L With Mac OS X Beta Utility Mar 29, 2011. I'm using a Verizon DSL router, Mac D-Link Camera Setup Utility (BETA), and Mac OS X 10.6.7. Configuration of camera is as recommended in manual with CAT-5 cable. Green light blinks irregularly in a communicating-with-router manner.

I am able to access 930L (2 cams) from wifi be it laptop,iphone or ipad but I am not able to see it through 3g.I have Huawei fibre optics broadband reuter from Starhub.Starhub is running away if ask them to fix it. Huawei never takes the call.I tried atleast 3 times 10 minutes each at 8006011450.It goes to disconnect. The lot talked about UPNP is enable in reuter but it does not work.
Now i talked to Dlink support with ticket DCX36811.They advised to load the firmware.I did it still the connection timeout is there. we have baby to monitor through iphone/android 3g.

The DCS-930L is a decent little camera and only $79.99 from Amazon right now. The instructions say you need a PC to set it up, but that’s not quite true. You can skip the install of the setup CD and just connect to the camera directly with your browser. In this blog post I’ll show you how to set up the camera without using the installed software.

I’ll also show you how to configure the camera to push images to the sensr.net site so you can take advantage of all the cool sensr.net features like archiving, sharing, and alerting that our site provides.

This blog will show you how to get it up and running with Sensr.net or any other service that supports FTP uploads of JPEGs.

Overview

Dcs-932l Setup Utility For Mac Os X Update

  1. Connect the camera to power and ethernet
  2. Go to your router and find the IP address for the camera
  3. Point your browser at the camera’s IP address and configure it
  4. Tell Sensr.net about your camera
  5. Tell your camera about Sensr.net

Step 2 means you’re going to need to know how to log into your router. You can find this from your computer’s settings. On a Mac you go to Network Settings > Advanced > TCP/IP. For my computer it looks like this:

This means my network router is at the IP address 10.1.1.1. A more common setting is 192.168.1.1. Once you find this, you can go to your browser and log into your router’s web page. For me this is http://10.1.1.1 but you should use the router setting from your control panel. You will probably need to log into your router. Routers differ widely.

Once you log into your router, look for a page that shows the attached devices. Here’s that page from my router. I clicked on “Attached Devices” in the left hand column to get this view:

Attached Devices Page

You can see from the above page that my DCS-930L has the IP address 10.1.1.20. Now you can simply point your browser to that address, http://10.1.1.20 and configure your camera. You’ll need to log in with the user name “admin” and leave the password blank. You should see a page like this:

You can now make changes to your camera’s config through your browser. You don’t need to do anything else if you just want to view the camera from inside your home. However, if you want to view it from outside, you can setup the camera to work with sensr.net. (There are other configs like wireless and image size, all of which you can get to through the web interface, I’m not going to cover them here.)

Add a New Camera to your Sensr.net Account

Login to Sensr.net using your Facebook username and password. Select the “add a camera” link at the top of the page next to your picture.

Click 'add a camera' to get started with Sensr.net

Select the “Add New Camera” button on the “My Cameras” Page

On the “Camera Info” page you can give your camera a name that you like. Select an appropriate timezone. When you are done, click the “Add Camera” button at the bottom.

“Add New Camera” Setup Page

Setup
The “Add Camera” step allocates a new Camera Server on Sensr.net to watch your DCS-930L. As part of creating a server, Sensr.net has created a new FTP account for your DCS-930L to use for uploading images. The FTP credentials are displayed on the following page. The important bits of information are
  1. FTP server,
  2. FTP Username, and
  3. FTP Password.

Save these three items of information for later, they need to be entered into the camera.

Tell your Camera about Sensr.net

Now you need to configure your camera so it will send images to sensr.net. Go back to the page for your DCS-930L, this is the IP address we found at the beginning, http://10.1.1.20 in our example above. Click on “SETUP” on the top menu and then “FTP” on the side. You’ll then be at a page that looks like this:

The red arrows above show the settings you need to configure. Under Host Name add the FTP server name you got from the add camera page on sensr.net. Copy the user name and password as well. Make sure to select “Passive Mode”, we only support passive FTP on Sensr.net.

You also need to tell your camera to send images to Sensr.net on a schedule. You do this by selecting the check box “Enable uploading to the FTP server” and confirm that “Always” and “1 Frames/Second”
are selected. These are the defaults and seem to work well. The other default’s for the file name are also well supported, so no reason to change them.

Make sure to click the “Save Settings” button at the top of the page. Once you’ve done this, your DCS-930L should be sending images to sensr.net.

At this point you are done. You can close the browser window pointed at your camera and go back to Sensr.net. Click on the “Take Me To My Camera” button to see the Gallery view of images coming from your camera.

Now you can share your camera and its images with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
