    getting started

    in BroadCam

    Posted

    I've figured it out, it's quite simple really, but it took me a Dummy's age! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

     

    Your Windows 2003 network MUST have a public IP, i.e., you have a fixed Internet address, or, like me, you use a Dynamic DNS address,

    e.g., http://bugalugs.getmyip.com, from ZoneEdit, or dynDNS, etc.,

     

    Then, BEHIND your IP Adress;

     

    1. Make sure the PC you're setting up Broadcam on, has a fixed internal network address, like 192.168.0.23. This allows you to tell the 2003 server which PC to route the incoming Internet request for Broadcam to.

    2. Set up your Broadcam on your PC with the fixed IP address, set outgoing to Port 86.

    3. Check that Broadcam is functioning on your PC, by opening Internet Explorer on your PC and typing your PC's address, e.g., 192.168.0.23:86 and see what you're Broadcam is broadcasting.

     

    Once it is working and you can see the camera's view.....

     

    4. Go to your Windows 2003 Server and open Routing and Remote Access

    5. Go to IP Routing

    6. Go to NAT/Basic Firewall

    7. In the right hand panel, find your Internet interface and right click to "Properties"

    8. Click on "Services and Ports" you'll see a list of pre-prepared Services but no Broadcam, yet.

    9. Click on "Add"

    10. Fill in the Dialogue box with "Description - 'BroadCam'", Public Address - 'On this interface', Protocol - 'TCP'

    then, Incoming Port - '1234', Private Address - '192.168.0.23', Outgoing Port - '86'. Click on "OK".

    That's it.

    11. Click on make sure the new BroadCam service is checked, click "Apply" and OK and that's the end of it.

     

    If you're network is like mine, you cannot view yourself over the internet from behind your Windows 2003 server, so you'll have to view it on

    an outside PC, or get a friend to check out your public URL and tell you it's working! e.g., http:\\bugalugs.getmyip.com:1234

     

    I haven't figured out how to do that, but if you can see your BroadCam by looking at your internal address (e.g., 192.168.0.23:86) then so can those outside who have your Internet address.

     

    Greetings!

    I suspect that all the information I need is included somewhere in these posts but I am so confused.

     

    I installed the Broadcam software on my webcam PC. I believe the webcam and Broadcam are installed correctly.

    My firewall port 86 was already open with Broadcam listed as the service.

     

    I am trying to add streaming video to my website http://www.fortheloveoflabradors.com

     

    I had to manually forward port 86 in my router to my webcam pc, which I did like this:

     

    Service = http://nn.nn.nnn.nnn:86 [this is the IP address for my website where I want the video to play]

     

    Start port and ending port are both 8686

     

    Server IP address - 10.0.0.3 which is a static IP to my webcam pc.

     

    If I load "http://localhost/broadcamauto.html?src=1&speed=1" on my webcam pc it works.

     

    But if I use my other pc and load the same using the IP address of my webcam pc in place of "localhost", I get a 'file does not exist" message.

     

    If anyone can help I sure would appreciate it!!
