i know last year i had problems my ip address change for my web cam . could this be my problem again ?
www.tristateweather.net
<img src=“http://74.137.145.87:8080/SnapshotJPEG?Resolution=640x480” alt=“webcam”
this is my web cam address ? correct

is it an IP camera you mean?

Yes . Ip address . I guess first I need to get WD to load cam picture .

The setup window at the top of the thread is missing the IP address for the camera, hence webcamcapture can’t find the camera.
You need to tell it where to look. :wink:

yes
you need to enter the correct IP address and set to use an IP camera
(in the IP camera tab)
then click on start now

OK , the IP address on my web page is this at www.tristateweather.net
<img src=“http://74.137.145.87:8080/SnapshotJPEG?Resolution=640x480” alt=“webcam” .I’m not sure what this is. A web cam or is this my router address ? update this is my router address http://192.168.1.1/
I’m lost on what this address is here. Unless my IP address has changed again . Thats what happen about year or two ago .
here is a copy of my web cam page .


See where it says “Camera IP Address” in the settings window you posted above, take the top IP address and put that into the box in webcamcapture that says "URL of the IP camera (MJPG or JPG). If that doesn’t work then click on the tag in the IP cam setup window that says “Buffered Image” and see if you can find a URL in there that finishes with MJPG or JPG.

If WD and the webcam are both inside the router then use the webcams 192.x.x.x address in WD.

Sorry everyone . been working all weekend .
Now I can’t get web cam capture to start up . What can i do ?

double click on wdwebcamcapture.exe where you have WD installed

found it .
thank you

Is this what I need for wd url = http://192.168.1.253:8080
correct web cam address


Yes, that’s the address that’s indicated.

what address is this ? Off my web site . Or has my address change again ?

It did not work .


In that screen cap it looks to me like there might be a comma rather than dot between the 1 and the 253?
