Asus WL-500g and WebCam

Is it possible to view webcam pictures from WAN site without admin login and activex or not?

With the newest Asus Firmware you can access the Cam on its own Port without Passwort, right. Just set it all in the web interface.

What do you setup as ip address ?

the routers ip or your internet ip address (as assigned by the provider) ?
so 192.168.1.1:7776 or 83.118.x.x:7776

I have no idea what you exactly mean by wireless camera and the wl500g

if you use a -standalone- wireless IP camera, you don't need the wl500g for the camera functions

i've no idea about the UK market...

but a Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 would do fine..
allthough with current 1.8.x.x there are still issues with webcam but this is not related to the logitech

more webcams on 500g

should work 500g with more webcams connected throught usb hub to one 500g?
13-11-2004, 20:54

USB 1.1 bandwidth is too low to handle more than one webcam.

i don't think so. there is high compression and small images. ok. 500gx has usb 2.0 ports. will it be possible use more webcams on one 500g(x)?

webcam not working on memory stick boot

we have installed the latest firmware(1.9.2.7-1) of oleg.

attached usb stick (EXT3); booted from usb stick.
Our Philips Vesta Pro 680 dont function aynmore after boot via usb.
On boot via embedded memory it functions again.

After further investigations we found out that (via /tmp/syslog) no pwc
module is loaded if booted via usb stick. so we ran a 'insmod pwc.o' and
the module was loaded - but no function of the webcam website. however syslog said it was loaded properly, and also a 'lsmod'. memory stick was in readwrite mode as well.

whats the problem here? is there a webcam daemon which we can start or something similiar?

best regards,
midgard

When rootfs is enabled, hotplug events occures before their processing is started, so you've either to replug your cam, or start things manually.
25-12-2004, 18:00
midgard

thanks oleg... you are right. while the router was running we reconnected the webcam and it was working. however this is not what we want... i then added the line for loading the pwc module to the post-init script in /usr/local/sbin.

Now i think that i only have to start the rcamd. Do you know the exact command what hotplug runs on device plugin? i then would add this command (after checking that the camera is there) to the post-inst script.

thanks in advance

try launching rcamd_main, it should load modules and launch rcamd with correct args.
25-12-2004, 20:47
midgard

thanks oleg... i tried... but it dont works. tried with/without loading pwc. the program i loaded was rcamdmain and it does nothing. it should spawn an httpd process and 3 additional rcamd on start (this happens if i do a reconnect of the cam). i now try to download the source to figure out the best way. it will take a while now, but i hope i figure out the way how to do it....

best regards,

USB Webcam DLink DRU350C

Hi,

i have connect this Cam on my 500g. Mode acticex&refresh, OV511 2.10 and 320x240. When i hit Preview, a new Broqserwidow is open, but no picture is shown. "Image is not ready"

Is this Cam compatible to my router? What can i do?

Thanxx
02-01-2005, 19:42
Oleg

It looks like this is not an OV51x based cam, nor PWC. So it's not supported.

24-03-2005, 18:27
hezik

Did you plug in an external harddrive as well? Was that connected before as well?

If you connect just the cam, no usb hub or drive, does it work then?
24-03-2005, 18:32
Pirat

*shame*

without HUB it works.
Thanks!

edit:
the cam is not mine and at last testing I use 1.7.9.6 and a other HUB. :D
24-03-2005, 19:11
hezik

No problem, glad to be of service :)

The issue probably is that you're using a passive hub now (without power supply) and that the sum of the cam+hub+drive asks to much power. If you replace it with a powered hub there shouldn't be a problem AFAIK.
24-03-2005, 19:14
Pirat

The funny think is that the other HUB (previous uses) is also passiv. :D

Webcam Sugestion

Hello,

I would like to buy a webcam to interface with a WL500g.
From what I've seen the imagem quality on most (usb) webcams is quite low..

So, do you have any sugestions for a webcam that has a good image quality?

thanks.

ps: if you can, please post a sample shot from your webcam... :)

It's all about price vs performance :) I use Phillips ToUCam (do not remember exact model number) together with pwc drivers version 9 - this allows 640x480 resolution. framerate is set to 2 fps, since I use it with motion software as motion detector. FW used is Oleg's 1.9.2.7 CR4.
Known problems with this set:
- Spurious changes in camera brightness set on very bright scene.
- Sometimes driver cannot init camera - I had to program reboot to avoid it.
- Images are horisontally mirrored - I have to use flip option in my mencoder setup
- If antifliicker mode is switched on on this cam, it becomes unusable on bright light - had to switch it off, using PC software

Attached is yesterdays shot with my cat's motion detected in lower left corner :)

Thanks for your reply!

today I went shopping to a outlet shop and found some cheap (and old!) webcams from intel at only 9,99eur... (did't buy it... )
It was a Intel® Play™ Me2Cam* Computer Video Camera

http://support.intel.com/support/intelplay/me2cam/
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=294

apparently it should work in linux with the ov511 linux driver...

webcam works... but with "noise"...

I,

I bought a webcam (Intel® Play™ Me2Cam) and it is working in the WL500g with both drivers (at 320x200 only), but the image has some small black lines in it. please take a look at the sample:
(If I connect the webcam to a pc, I get clean image without any of these lines )

what's wrong?

thanks.

help with webcam ...

Hi,
I've try a webcam on my wl500g , it's work fine with lan , but through WAN it's don't work

does in need to redirect the port 7776 and the 7777 ?

I use the 1.9.3.5 firmware maybe i need downgrade the firmware ?

Thanks for help

Have you made the webcam visible on the WAN? Because it's not by default.

I have the exact same problem.

My webcam is philips pcvc840k, works perfectly in lan/wlan.
But from wan, it's not working. Using the same PC / Client, I get a black videoimage and the errormessage "Cannot connect to server". If I press the option "refresh" I get still pictures from the webcam that refreshes every 3 seconds, but only in black/white and not streaming video.

I have tried to searched the forum, but it seems that there is no spesific answer to solve this problem.

firmware: 1.9.2.7

is trying to log on from wan by:
http://externalip:7776/ShowWebCam.asp
http://externalip/Advanced_ShowTime_Widzard.asp

i have these settings
lan/wan
activex only (have tried activex and refresh) didn't help.
pwc 8.8
320x240
httport: 7776
activex port: 7777

I'm not an expert on this. But is there any better firmware to solve this?

Webcam + 500g+ 500gx via WDS

Hello,

after reading almost all articles I think I still don't know how to do this.
To my configuration:

At DSL, I have a Netgear Router (not WLAN) which routes from 192.168.0.1 to two Asus WLan router: a 500g (192.168.0.11 -> 192.168.10.1) and a 500gx (192.168.0.22 -> 192.168.30.1).

The interesting part ist the 500gx. I there have already sucessfully connected a Linksys Printer router via WDS (192.168.30.56).

What I now wanted to do is connecting a separate ASUS 500g via WDS to the 500gx and connect it with a webcam, so this webcam can be available with in the LAN but also probable from outside.

I use the latest firmware from Oleg (thanks!) and have switched (unfortunately) from WPA to WEP encryption.

But the word is HOW ?

How can I connect this new 500g to the 500gx and what parameters do I have to set where ????

I would be very grateful if anybody has an idea and can help somehow !!!

Thanks,
Matthias

did you already consult the manual for WDS configuration? if so, what did you already configure
