iCam Support / Re: D-Link DCS-920 OSX Config???

« on: November 30, 2009, 09:22:24 PM »

Hi,

I just bought a D-Link DCS-920 wireless cam to use w/ iCam and I'm having trouble setting it up with OS X. If anybody can help I'd appreciate it! D-Link is clueless!

Thanks,

Jason

Hi, I just picked a DCS-920 up twenty minutes ago and stumbled onto this forum realizing the software provide will not function on OSX. My router is at home, and I need to get this thing online.

Here's what I did;

Once the camera is assembled, hook the ethernet cable between the apple (a mbp) in my case.
Manually set your ip address for the ethernet to be in the same ip range. So:

Configure : Manually
IP address: 192.168.0.100
Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0

I had to run a netstat and compare physical addresses to find out the cameras IP address is 192.168.0.20.

plug 192.168.0.20 into you favourite web browser, and the rest is bacon.


A quick side note, I've noticed a few complaints about the picture quality of this camera. The lens can actually be focused and is free floating (like a monocular). I was a little bit pissed at first, played with the lens and the picture is now very crisp, I can make out the street signs across the way. =)
