I have a 1- DCS-3220G and 1 DCS-3420 cameras running through an ASUS RT-N56U wireless router setup as an access point. Both work fine when using the" Playback for IP surveillance" program. The video does no work when connecting with IE8. I am trying to move the "Monitor for IP surveillance" program/recording function to another computer running XP Pro, that will be dedicated to to running "Monitor for IP surveillance". After installing the program from the CD and running the setup wizard, then configuring the Monitor for IP surveillance program with the camera IP's. I cannot get the video to work on the new computer. Monitor for IP surveillance cann connect to the cameras but the video never starts streaming.

Normal 0 Did you install the software with the camera connected tothe computer? Disconnect the camera from the USB port and reinstall thesoftware. When the program asks you to connect the camera, do so, and itshould work. Hope this is of some help. Bud

If you have configured Motion Detection then your problem may be because the camera only turns on when motion is detected. That is why it will seem as if the camera is dropping the connection.

If motion detection is not configured then you may be experiencing the same thing I have experienced. The camera does not record in full real time. It only gets snippets of information so the subject seems to jump from one place to another if they move fast. I guess this is a feature of IP cameras because they need to pass through the network with a lot of overheads. This is where good old CCTV cameras with their coaxial cables are best. They may be more difficult to install because of the cabling but their performance is a lot better

These cameras are touchy. Hold the reset button on the back in for about 20-30 seconds. Bring up the CD software you got with the camera, it should spot the camera right off and you can configure. That seems to be the only way I can communicate with this model. After setup, then browsers, etc seem to work fine. I would also download the latest Firmware and update.
