problems with adding Dlink IPcam

I have a Dlink DCS 932L IPcam that I have some problems with adding to Vera.
It never comes up as an icon when i’m trying to add i to Vera,
I’ve tried to type the cams IP adr and add i manually with no results.
The Dlink is on the list of supportet devices so it should’t be any problems.

Any idea?

Hi,

I just added both DCS-932L and DCS-942L IP cameras to my Vera. There is a trick I found in doing it.

  1. Use the following URL ----> /image/jpeg.cgi

Test it in a browser directly by entering the IP address of the camera with that URL tacked on the end… (ie. http://192.168.2.202/image/jpeg.cgi <---- Change IP to match your IP camera address.

  1. When adding the cameras select the “Generic IP Camera” option. This will stuff up the URL you entered for the D-Link camera. Don’t worry about that issue right now - just add the camera save the changes and then head to the all devices menu.

  2. Select your newly added (but probably broken) IP camera module using the “Spanner” icon to get to the configuration. Now you need to make the real changes. Add it to the room you want. Scroll down the “Settings” tab screen and delete all the string / text you find in the URL field (arrow left and right to be sure all the offending text is gone - this box must be empty before you paste the next text in) and replace it with the correct string ----> /image/jpeg.cgi

  3. Select the “Advanced” tab and rename the camera to something unique (ie. IP_Cam01).

  4. Exit the module and save the changes.

Now sit back and watch the thumb nail update.

That should be it.

Regards,

D.

Hi, thank you.

I did get it work, but when my router changed IP I lost the picture again.
So i guess I have to look in to it again.
