Wireless Camera

  • Koch asked me to try to setup the new Canon wireless camera that we had no luck with last week
  • I installed the program into Larry's computer (with some difficulty) and was able to setup the camera to connect to Kochlab network
    • It gives me a connection error 5, which means that either the UPnP is disabled or its not getting a good signal
      • Since I saw Brigette use her laptop, it might be the UPnP
    • Koch and Ant enabled the UnUP for the wireless router last week (and it is still enabled since I tried to do it today)
    • I also enabled the UnUP on the other Linksys router from Larry's computer
  • I may want to try the wireless router by itself (something that I think they tried last week)
  • May want to try to connect to the D-Link router and see if there is a setting for UPnP
  • I went and connected our wireless router straight to Larry's computer
    • The camera still gives me the connection 5 error
      • I tried disabling certain security features of the router and the computer and it still does not want to connect
  • Ant was supposed to take the camera home and try it there, I don't know how that worked out
  • Koch also mentioned he got it to work once in his office, but then the batteries died and it was not reproducible
  • One interesting note: I was trying to mess with some of the features of the camera and software. I was able to upload a photo without problem, but when asked to dump the photos off the camera onto the computer, it doesnt seem to work
    • Fixed that problem. It wanted to dump the photos onto the "my documents" which lives on the \\controller
      • I set the destination folder to the C: drive and it worked just fine
