Solved - TrendNET TV-IP252P settings

[martinezjr]

I am lost. Really lost. I have been over this site a hundred times, and I can not make this camera(s) work. What am I doing wrong?

PS: I also have some TrendNET IP410W, that based on other posts will work, but I don't know how to make them work.

Update: I searched for more answers and still no luck, but did find that most people install from source and not via their system package manager. So, downloaded source, configured, check, make install, not check

Could anybody help me with this?

[martinezjr]

Anybody please????

Give us specifics on what your issue are. Even though you have one of the supported resolution it still could be the issue. You need to play around with different settings like

352x240
352x288

It say in the specs that these are the supported resolution but from my experience it may require trying different resolution until you get video.

You also may need to configure your SHMMAX and SHMALL after you get video to have some stability.

I am looking to purchase these cameras and wanted your feedback when we get this resolved.

[martinezjr]

I have not been able to get these cameras working, but I have been able to use the internal program that came with the cameras to do what I want it to do.

The cameras have an internal webserver that has all the functions that you neeed. I searched on this forum and found a different solution to what I need. I built my own LAMP to host multiple camera (no more that 4 viewing at one time, copied the applet from their home page) and with the internal setting of the camera, I am able to save events to either FTP or Samba share.

[metallica1973]

Can you tell me everything that you did. I am in the process of purchasing 4 of those cameras and wanted to know what roadblocks I may come up against. All your advice will be appreciated. thanks

[martinezjr]

On a windows machine, I set up a shared folder with only administrator privileges.
On each camera, in order:
1. set up the event server:network storage setting on the camera to that share, with appropriate user/pass and folder
2. set the motion detect settings ( have to use internet exploder for active x)
3. set the event trigger:motion detect to save to the network storage

Then coded for the web page on the LAMP server.
I will be setting up a way for my manager to select which camera(s) he want to view a thru php script, as I will have 20 cameras installed.
Max based on what your LAMP can hold, ex: mine is 4 at a time with 2GB RAM and 2.8Ghz
