Re: Can't Connect to IP camera and weather station
Hey David and all, Was able to change the IP of the camera and it worked fine thru the day. But my software stops processing the camera around 9pm each evening. That's by my choice, as I don't have much need for a webcam at night. Comes back on a little ahead of sunrise each morning. Well, during the sleep mode, my non cooperating camera switched back to the old IP and I lost connection again. As far as the Davis software, from conversations I had yesterday on a couple of forums, a few folks said sure, no problem, change the IP and things will be fine. But more than a handful stated do it a my own peril as they tried it, and tech support from Davis couldn't even help restore it back to old IP. Needless to say, I held off on that. Anyways, will spend some more time later today with my friend google and see if anything else comes up. If you want to see why I'm doing all of this, click to McKeanWeather.com as the majority of the data on the front page is from the Davis/Cumulus combination, and the webcam shows up about half way down the main page. Thx, Brad9.2KViews3likes3CommentsRe: Can't Connect to IP camera and weather station
Hey Mark, Thanks for your reply. I was just getting ready to reply when David came up with a direction of sorts for me to take. Both the IP address for the camera and the Davis console end in .1.4 or .1.1 respectfully. He mentioned that the range for IP in hughes is .42.xxx So now I'm looking to see if I have to change them in the camera/Davis or just find a work around thru the Hughesnet modem, possibly using the Mac address. Any thoughts? Brad9.2KViews0likes1CommentRe: Can't Connect to IP camera and weather station
Hey David, Was just getting ready to reply to Mark when you posted, and I was going to ask him about that. Do I have to go into the camera and davis unit to physically change the IP, or can I use the MacAddress and give it a new IP addy in HughesNet configuration. Seems I saw some sort of an option to use the mac and add a new IP in that range Thanks, Brad9.2KViews0likes6CommentsRe: Can't Connect to IP camera and weather station
Yeah, both pieces of software have forums, but no one seems to running with the HT2010, and very few on HughesNet. Seems like the static IP addresses for each of my units should make it easy to get hooked up. *shrug* Plan on trying again later this afternoon until the teeth grinding and hair pulling sends me into Beer30 Brad9.2KViews0likes12CommentsCan't Connect to IP camera and weather station
Hi All, If I'm posting this in the wrong sub section of the community, please let me know, and I'll move it. For six or seven years I've had what I'm about to describe set up on a Verizon DSL modem, and still working ok today. I'm trying to switch it over to a HT2010w modem and having some fits. I have a Hikvison IP camera as a WebCam and to process I use Sebectec Ip Time Lapse Software I have a Davis Pro II Weather Station and to process I use Cumulus Weather Software The way I have it hooked up with the Verizon, both the camera and the Davis are hardwired to the back of the modem. To process the pair of them, I do this on a separate laptop that only runs those two items and the two pieces of software. So I wire the laptop to the back of the HughesNet modem and connect to the internet, no limitations that I know of. Works fine. I plug the camera and the Davis connections in the back of the unit, but can't connect to either thru my software. Now, when everything is plugged in, I can see the static IP addresses for the camera and the Davis using a network sniffer installed on the laptop. Both read active. But the software, with those IP addresses configured, can't 'connect' with the camera nor the Davis. Again, nothing else attached to the HT2010w. If someone could kindly point me in the right direction to solve this puppy, it would be appreciated. Brad9.3KViews0likes16Comments
