danone Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 i'd like to install a 7/24 webcam at my second place. there's a high speed internet access around the clock there, but not always a computer. question therefore: is it possible to install a webcam that is directly connected to the LAN-modem? and what about software? and how to host such a webcam? are there free sites? and could such a webcam been operated/controlled from another location? is there any such webcam available at fortune tower or pantip plaza?

Rice_King Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 tks - anybody else might enlighten me with a more specific answer? appreciate. I'll try. Tywais did give you a good page for info. If you had clicked a few links, the answers to your queries are there. is it possible to install a webcam that is directly connected to the LAN-modem? Yes and what about software? The internet enabled cameras have a built-in web server. You access them via a web browser. and how to host such a webcam? are there free sites? Not required. (See previous answer.) and could such a webcam been operated/controlled from another location? Yes, via a web browser. is there any such webcam available at fortune tower or pantip plaza? You're on your own on this one. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 IT city has several D-link models. The top of the line (38.000 Baht ) is wireless so just links up to any accesspoint in the neighborhood, has full pan/tilt, 10X optical zoom, motion detect etc... The cheapest one comes in at 8500 Baht, still has the wireless (although I prefer to use a regular lan cable, less things to go wrong!) and is just a fixed model. Remember, you will need to set up a DynDNS service to accommodate the dynamic IP address your ISP will assign you. The D-links have this built in in the software inside the camera, but be sure to double check if you buy another brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danone Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 tks for all the replies. did some footwork, saw the leading d-link model at pantip. quite a thing! until i found out it only works with windows & explorer (active x control). did some tests with macintosh - none of its browsers works with d-link models: neither with safari nor opera nor firefox browser. humble question though: any network camera that works with macintosh? this seriously is the first time that i dont get on my mac what i want ...

danone Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 looks like there is a way out for mac-ers, but then again, the dyndns setup looks pretty awkward: http://www.evological.com/evocam.html or not?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmo Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Q1: Yes, it's called an IP camera - standalone doesn't need to be connected to a computer. Connects to the network via ethernet or wireless Q2: Usually bundled with the camera Q3: Yes Q4: With bundled software or through a web interface. Q5: Many , popular brands are Dlink and Levelone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q5: Many , popular brands are Dlink and Levelone I haven't looked at the prices of standalones in quite a long time so Im sure they've come down in price but picking up an old almost free computer to run linux on and connect a cheap camera ( with available linux drivers!) could be a solution as well.
