    I moved this thread from the Website Info area to the appropriate sub-forum.

    See the stickies at the top of this sub-forum for guidance on making your camera visible in the Dashboard. If you find you need further assistance, be sure to let us know the model of the D-Link camera.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    If its the same as mine, it is this. Assuming ip address is 192.168.1.100 and port is 1234

    Http://192.168.1.100:1234/mjpeg.cgi

    If that doesnt work post up the model number and we can help you find it.

    Thats the same as mine. Use what I put above, but change the ip address and port to match what you have set up for yours. Local ip address is the one you use in your house. Remote ip address is you dynamic dns hostname (if you have one) or you can find it using whats my ip.

    For remote use the same ip address you use for the apex to connect outside of your house, but use the port shown on the pic above

    Those URLs are not right - the last part should be /mjpeg.cgi

    Is the IP address of the camera actually 192.168.1.111?

    The IP address you have for the Remote URL is definitely not right. But for now let's focus on getting local access working.

    Post screen shots if you can.

    Post a screenshot of the network setup page for your camera. The remote url is definately not right and the ending part is jmpeg.cgi not mpg.cgi. Check your remote ip by typing whats my ip in google and click the first result. Dont post that number on here since you dont want somebody to be able to access your network that sees this thread.

    Product: DCS-5020L Firmware version: 1.03

    Network Setup

    You can configure your LAN and Internet settings here.
    lan settings

    DHCP Connection Static IP Address PPPoE
    IP Address
    Subnet Mask
    Default Gateway
    User ID
    Password
    Primary DNS
    Secondary DNS

    Port settings

    HTTP Port

    UPnP SETTINGS

    UPnP Enable Disable
    UPnP Port Forwarding Enable Disable

    BONJOUR SETTINGS

    Bonjour Enable Disable
    Bonjour Name (Characters you may use in a Bonjour Name: "upper or lower case letters", "numbers" and "hyphens".)
    Helpful Hints..

    Select "DHCP Connection" if you are running a DHCP server on your network and would like an IP address assigned to your camera automatically. You may choose to manually enter a Static IP Address and all the relevant network information or select PPPoE if you connect your DCS-5020L directly to the Internet that uses a PPPoE service. If you choose PPPoE you must enter the user ID and password that was given by your Internet Service Provider.

    DNS (Domain Name System) server is an Internet service that translates domain names (i.e. www.dlink.com) into IP addresses (i.e. 192.168.0.20). The IP addresses can be obtained from your ISP.
    - Primary DNS: Primary domain name server that translates names to IP addresses.
    - Secondary DNS: Secondary domain name server to backup the primary one.

    Port Settings - Most ISPs do not open port 80 (a DCS-5020L default video transfer port) for their residential customers, the DCS-5020L has the ability to use a different port by enabling the second http port for its video streaming. Any unused ports can be used such as port 800, 801, etc. Remember that if the DCS-5020L is behind a router, you will need to forward that port to the DCS-5020L's IP Address. When accessing the camera, you would need to type the camera's IP Address followed by the colon character and the port number (for example http://192.168.0.20:800).

    UPnP Settings will allow you to configure your camera as an UPnP device in the network.

    Bonjour provides a simple way of discovering various services on your camera.

    Im not seeing a static ip address listed in that page. Is DHCP enabled? If so, check the box that says static ip address. Your ip address needs to have the first 3 sets match your router exactly and the last one can be whatever number you want. In my case since my routers IP was 192.168.1.0, I set an IP address of 192.168.1.111 so it was easy to remember. Your router might use 192.168.0.0, so you could use something like 192.168.0.111 if that is the case. Set the port is this page to something you will remember, but should ideally be a number between 1024 and 8092.

    Make sure the first 3 match the first three of your router. Thats usually the culprit when you router wont let you in.

    Does it work if you access your apex dashboard remotely? Using the same thing you show for outgoing, but with the port you use for the apex.

    I forgot to bring this up earlier, but if you havent done so already, add the camera to your allowed port forwarded devices in your router setup.
