Can not get the above cam working with ZM current version. The cam is connected to the router and shows an image in 192.168.1.65 as well as sending video clips and jpeg's via e-mail but I can't get it to activate in ZM (works in D-link web browser page only). I have the settings as "remote" plus I have follwed the wiki config for IP addy password etc etc but still no registration / image in zm. The cam shows on my network system as there as well. I'm sure it's a path issue or some thing like that which I'm doing wrong but I've tried every combination I can think of in setup both on the cam side and zm side but still no joy. Any thoughts? Years ago I had the same cam set up in ZM so I know it's worked in the past. Thank-you.

Look at the logs. They will often tell you things. It's why they exist.

Thanx for the wiki info but as mentioned i went through that used the input they sugest and still nothing. Here's the log output. Not sure if it says anything helpful.

You have configured it as a local camera, not as a remote camera.
