Thanks not sure why I could not find it. I searched on here at least 3 times. Search does not seem to work good on this forum for me.
I'm TRYING to HELP you but you don't give us much to go on.

I had the same issue on the first run, I clicked the update button again and it went through the second time.

My question is in regards to the streaming video for the newfirware.
I have the camera setup on an extra staic IP I have. Its working great both local and on the public web. However I am thinking because I have to put in a password and username its not displaying on my dashboard.
I have messed around with it some more and have it where you can view it without username and password. But video still does not show up on the dashboard.
Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Sorry for typos doing this from my phone.

I purchased the connector and a 50 foot cable (router on another floor) and it worked like a champ! Thanks all! I now have the new software.. Off tomorrow to get a camera now!
Thanks Apex, Russ, Bazineta, and Kenargo!

yeah I tried that, rebooted the controller still getting the same thing. I had this problem the last time I tried updating the firmware. Seems like it has something to do with FIOS if I remember correctly. RussM was able to figure it out.
Russ.....you got pm buddy :lol2:
What is the camera model and what is the URL you are using in the dashboard?
Geesh Steve - that was a long time ago. I can't remember what I did a week ago...
You are using the Apex's actual IP address and port in the updater?

LOL....I know. I remember it was something pretty simple too but cant remember what it was. I am using the actual IP address and port for the Apex. I also tried to do it with windows parallels and got a similar message.

Camera is a D-Link DCS-942L
The URL I was trying to use the IP but guessing that does not work.
I also have a 942L
URL examples for DCS-942L:
Local: http://192.168.1.35/video/mjpg.cgi
Remote: http://seemyreef.dyndns.org:8080/video/mjpg.cgi
In the remote URL, use your router's public IP address or dynamic DNS hostname, and the public port number you used in the router's port forwarding fo the camera.
BTW, if you have not discovered it yet, the 942L with the most current firmware has a known big problem with using night (infrared) mode even when there is plenty of ambient light.... no color, just grayscale video The solution is to disable night mode - at least until D-Link fixes it in a firmware update.

Ok so what is I am doing wrong? Please see below
http://192.168.1.5/video/mjpg.cgi
http://xx.xx.xx.xx/video/mjpg.cgi
I placed X where my public IP would be. Maybe the issue is I am using a public static IP for my Apex and another public static IP for the camera.
As far as port goes the camera is on port 80 which is the same port the apex is on however they are on seperate staic IP's
Does this make sense? If not I will try to explain further.

Oh boy...somethings not right now. Screen is black, amber light is flashing on base unit and I cant connect to it. I had given up on doing the firmware upgrade tonight so when I went to unplug the ethernet cable, I pulled the aquabus cable for the power by mistake. I waited a couple of minutes and plugged it back in and then nothing. Am I toast now?
Ok, with that SonicWALL, you should be fine using 2 unique static IP addresses - I don't think that has anything to do with it; you said that you can access it both internally and externally with a browser without authenticating, so the network side should all be OK. Those URLs appear fine - they should work in the dashboard. If you want to PM me the full remote URL, I'll give it a try here.

Thanks again and PM has been sent
The remote URL works fine in FF and Chrome. It will not work with IE - IE does not support the MJPEG streams of this camera. (if IE works for you when you view the full camera web page, it's because you installed a helper plugin for IE when you installed the camera setup software)

Okthats strange cause I am using Chrome and not IE for that reason.
I looked at what you have posted and its just what I have and it will not work.
