Need help with xx36a Airsight

[gcextreme]

Got my xx36a Airsight IP camera installed.
Trying to get it to send alerts/images to my email, i have a hotmail and a yahoo one, but when i put in all the information, ports, tls, smt info and my username/pass and do a test, it always fails.

also trying to get it so i can view on my smart phone, i guess i need to do some port forwarding or something with my linksys router?
can someone help me please.

Thanks

what kind of router you have?
tell me exactly what's happening i might be able to help...

Its a Linksys Network Everywhere NR041 4 port cable/dsl Ethernet router. Not wireless.
I got my yahoo mail configured but couldn't get it to send to my hotmail account.

I am able to login and view live stream and edit settings from my home PC, but can't do it from another PC or my mobile smart phone, Samsung focus wp7, I need to do something with port forwarding or something?

I spent about 4 hours monkeying around with this software and my router settings, and still haven't got it figured out to login with my smart phone ( Samsung focus wp7).
I have even tried following the port forwarding video that's on the disk. But that TP-Link router software setup is different than my Linksys NR041 set up.
Do I need to go and buy a new router setup?

I don't know what to do.

I know what you mean man okay tell one thing under "device status" (you get this by clicking on system tab once or system +device info)
DDNS
Upnp
does both shows succeed?

under your basic network setting
Obtain IP from DHCP Server    (unchecked)
  IP Addr    (should have one ip address )
  Subnet Mask    225.225.225.X
  Gateway   
  DNS Server   
  Http Port    :XXXX
this same port should be in your router.

Heres what i see:

Device ID   00626E432286
 Device Firmware Version   17.35.2.41
 Device Embedded Web UI Version   20.8.3.81
 Alias   Home
 Alarm Status   None
 DDNS Status   gipcam.com  Succeed  http://xxxx
 UPnP Status   No Action (i am guessing this is an issue?)
 MSN Status   No Action

Under basic network

Obtain IP from DHCP  - UNCHECKED
IP Addr    192.168.1.101
 Subnet Mask    255.255.255.0
 Gateway    192.168.1.1
 DNS Server    66.xxx.112.xx
 Http Port    xxx
not sure which stuff i should or shouldnt post up for security reasons

thanks for the help

your settings are good now... but go into your post erase your port number and gipcam number... not sure if anyone can use that or not but just in case...
okay that mean its your router that blocking it...it could be fix by two things..
1) put your modem into "bridge mode"
than you ppeop(something like this) in your router ...you will need login and passward from your net provider...(since you have dsl you should already have it...i have dsl and i had that with my stuff)
2) than call up your router company tell him that you have port number 165 and want to forward it...it take less to 2 min...but i think once you put your modem into bridge mode will fix this

---- also does ip of your camera changes every time you unplug power cable? if yes than you have to give it static ip address...
...one more thing  Gateway    192.168.1.1
  DNS Server    66.xxx.112.xx
I have these to same in my setting...(dns same as gateway)

I am not sure how to put it in bridged mode.
theres an option : Working mode Gateway or Router.in the Dynamic Routing tab.. its selected Gateway... but when i put it to router, i loose my internet connection and have had to reset the thing to default... i cant get access back to it at 192.168.1.1


also does ip of your camera changes every time you unplug power cable? if yes than you have to give it static ip address..

No i dont think it does.
i have reset it twice now and even had to reinstall the Airsight software, and set up the settings like 3 times.

  DNS Server    66.xxx.112.xx

Are you saying these numbers should be the same?? should they be the 192.168 numbers or the 66.xxx.112.xx numbers?

So from my phone, what address should i be able to login from?
Should it be http://c85xx.gipcam.com:xxx   ??

bridge mode ...your modem have that option...all modems do.. .but if you are losing your internet due that don't change it yet...
1) i would call router and make sure your router isn't blocking your camera...
also in order to try to see if you cam working..you wifi phone can't be on same network...i heard that...but mine works either way
....my brother had this isuue..we called router and the told me to ..type new wirless login and passward...after that it work..

this site has complete instructions

NOTE:...there are 4 steps on the link above.....I didn't do step #4 and every thing works fine....you can always do step 4 later if you want


for the ipcam viewer app you downloaded you need to have the ip address (when you run your camera software it will give you the ip address), I'm using ip cam viewer lite. after I scanned for camera all I had to enter was the ip address, user name and password if applicable
