Problems with BL-C230A under UI5

After moving from UI4 to UI5 with a Vera2, setting up my BL-C230A camera to work with Vera has not been successful. It works fine with the Panasonic software that came with the camera, however, when I attempt to add the 230A to the Vera, I’m told the camera can’t display an image. I’ve also attempted setting up the camera using the ‘manual …’ button in UI5 to no avail.

Is there a current set of instructions under UI5 that can successfully install this camera?

Thanks!

I can not set it up my BL-C230A camera to work with Vera using UI4 Vera2

I have one of these running in UI5 (and UI4 a while back) and it works fine.

Were you trying to configure this remotely, or locally?

Also, what do you get from your camera if you type the following URL in a browser:

http://yourip/SnapshotJPEG?Resolution=640x480&Quality=Standard

I’m having the exact same problem with my Panasonic BL-C30 camera.

When I type http://[mycameraIP:port]/SnapshotJPEG?Resolution=640x480&Quality=Standard into the browser, I see a proper still image. In the Vera 3 setup, I get a red X. Login and password are set to the ones MCV has suggested on this forum.

The camera was setup with the Panasonic CD using Automatic Settings (as opposed to static or DCHP). Refresh rate is set to 3 seconds. I have DSL on an Linksys router.

I am able to login and control the camera locally and thru the viewnetcam service. But Vera 3 doesn’t even detect it on my network.

Thoughts?

The login and password should be either the default ones or whatever you changed them to be.

Yes, they are the default login/password combination. I have eight Panasonic cameras now. Vera 3 has not recognized any of them, even with the installed app; I have to try to manually add them, but each time, it fails. The cameras worked well with Vera 2. I’ m sure it’s something simple that I’m missing. Let’s start with my the MiOS app doesn’t see the cameras on the network?
