Webcam Setup

I'm trying to setup my quickcam Pro webcam but the systems returns the following error message "Cannot Find Server".
How can i find which is the correct IP address and port that is being used by the webcam?

Best regards from Lisbon

you can find or change the port on the web cam setting page, by default i thik is 7777, the ip is the same of your AP

probably your usbcam is NOT supported, although it could be on the list.. but logitech uses different chips in the same products

How can i get the correct webcam server IP address?
I've changed the webcam and i still have the same message "Can't connect to server"

PS:I don't have any firewall activated

Seems like Tugas are everywhere :)

Well, i tried Trust, Genius and Logitech Quickcam messenger.
Not a single one worked!!

I am not going to buy Quickcam pro 4000, it's very expensive and probably doesn't work...

I'm stuck here! I think the problem is configuration and not incompatibility issues but info is scarse.
Asus hasn't reply yet and i'm hoping someone on this forum figure it out...

If you have any luck please post the solution here!

Try running the dmesg using
http://192.168.1.1/Main_AdmStatus_Content.asp and post the output for all cams you've tried. That's the only way to figure out which are supported.

I didn't get any information on that window after doing that command :(

You will have to press the refresh button, and not just <enter> in order to make the command work

What's the purpose of that page on Asus Router?
What commands can we enter?

Sorry for us poorer souls, but we're trying hard. :))

I positively sure that sooner or later we will get those camera running :)

Please check if your webcam controllers fits the one supported by asus firmware.

I just wonder why ASUS don't allow the user to load his/her own camera controllers.

I had a look at the list of OV511(+) webcams and bought the Terracam on eBay to use it together with the WL500g, however I didn't succeed with that yet. The system log outputs the following:

My question: should I give up trying to use that camera with the WL500g or should I maybe buy an USB hub with an own DC adapter, because maybe the WL500g isn't strong enough to power the webcam and therefore fails to use it?

it worked on local computer?

only to proove if its workin

Well, in case that camera does not violate the USB specification (max. current 0.5A), there should not be any problem with the power. I think it's unlikely the external hub will help you - of course you can try it anyway but... Perhaps there will be a newer OV511 driver available in future (current one - 1.61 - seems a bit obsolete to me) so maybe it could be a solution. Otherwise I would get the camera replaced with some working type (see RCH forum).
