Creative webcam instant settings

Unfortunately due to the limitation created by DLink you cannot set up your camera's Motion Detection feature through the MyDlink Application. (I suspect you are going to myDlink and trying the advanced setttings)

Instead you have to access through your internal netwok. Try access the devices webpage by going to windows explorer (my computer) and select the network drop down in the left hand window to display your network devices, Find which camera your wanting to set motion detection and double click it to connect to the devices webpage, same user/pw you used before, except this time it will display the main image under Java and also the motion detection grid

Hi! Welcome to www.fixya.com.
Watching live video from a remote location
All you need to view the live video broadcast is a web browser and an Internet connection.
Open the web browser. Type the address shown in the WebCam Monitor Log, including the port number. Press Enter. The media player will be launched and you will start receiving a live feed. There will be some delay for buffering. To have your family and friends watch the live feed, just tell them the address and port number. As mentioned above, you may have to configure your Internet router to make your video broadcast available outside your local network.
Upload Video/ Audio and photos to an FTP Server:
With the Upload feature, WebCam Monitor can send video recordings and photos to an FTP server whenever noise or motion is detected, or at regular intervals. Storing files on a server makes for easy storage, maintenance and analysis. Storing recordings and photos on a remote server also provides extra security, since the files are safe even if the computer running WebCam Monitor is stolen.
To upload recordings and photos to an FTP server:
If Monitoring is in progress, click Monitor >> Stop Monitoring. Click Tools >> Options. On the Options window, select the Remote Monitoring tab, and click the Configure button for Upload.

Enter the name and login information for the FTP server. Check Enable Automatic Upload. Select the type of files you want to upload from Upload What. If you select Overwrite Photo Files, every photo uploaded will replace the previous one, using the same name. This feature can be used to create a web page that shows a constantly-updated image from your camera. This option is available only when Photos is selected from Upload What. Click OK, then OK again to close the Options window. Receive email notification:
The E-mail Notification alert sends e-mail with a photo as an attachment, either when Motion and Noise is detected, or at regular intervals.
To configure email notification:
If you would like to receive email at regular intervals, click Tools >> Options >> Monitoring and select After Every n. If you would like to be sent email when motion or noise is detected, click Tools >> Options >> Monitoring and select When motion or noise is detected. Check E-mail Notification. Click Configure to open the E-mail Notification Settings window. Specify an e-mail address in the From field. This is the address the messages will be sent from. Specify the e-mail address of the recipient in the To field. You can list multiple addresses here, separated by commas. If you want to include a photo with the e-mail, check the Include JPEG photos with email option. If you don't choose to include photos, you will be simply notified via email that an alert was triggered. Click OK. You can start monitoring by clicking Start Monitoring with Alerts on the main screen.
Hope this resolution fix the problem on your computer. Thanks for contacting Fixya. Bye for now.

Yawcam (Yet Another Webcam Software) allows you to stream a live broadcast from your webcam or DV camera. In addition to streaming video, the program can also save captured snapshots to a local file, upload them to a remote FTP server or serve them via the built-in web server. Furthermore, a motion detection feature allows you to automatically start capturing snapshots or perform other actions whenever the software detects any motion within the monitored area. Other features include optional text overlays, timestamps, motion detection mode, a built-in scheduling engine, password protection, image-to-movie conversion and more. Yawcam can optionally run as Windows service. hope this helps

Please intall my creative web cam in my computer right now

You don't specify what software you are using, but you can download a fully functional demo surveillance software here:

I would hook it up to a different Monitor to see if your monitor is broken.

If you mean you set the screensaver in the software and it keeps turning your monitor back on, then yes, its becuase you have it set to motion detection. Thats usually called an event & systems usually come out of screensaver mode & to display the event.

there is usually much more to this depending on your ISP and your network.

You have to verify that perhaps even your regular computer can send an email over port 25.

if you are using an actual email client such as Thunderbird or Outlook, copy your outgoing smtp settings to the camera and check if that works.

I received my web cam second hand, need software infor to down it for free Please Help!

Need installation cd to install vf-0500 creative webcam

My wife has a new computer with Vista on it.  I tried to plug in my Creative Webcam Instant into it, thinking there would be no problems.  Turns out that Creative doesn't support Vista for a couple of its webcams.  I fixed it, though, and now there's no problems.  What you have to do is take advantage of a couple of Vista's less-obvious features.  Put the Creative CD in.  On the CD (not in a folder on the CD), there's a setup.exe.  Right-click it and select "Properties".  On the "Compatibility" tab, enable the option to run it in compatibility mode for XP SP2.  Then also check the "run as administrator" option, just for good measure.  After that, it will install just fine (otherwise, the Creative installer tells you that it doesn't support your version of Windows).  Then, after it installs, find the program's executable.  It should be in the relevant program files folder (if you're not sure, hover over the webcam center shortcut in the start menu, and see where the program is actually located).  Do the same thing for the program executable (right-click, compatibility tab, enable compatibility mode for XP SP2, enable running as admin for good measure).  If it doesn't work for you after all that, I don't know what to tell you.  It works just fine for me now (it didn't want to otherwise).
