Anyone bought DCS 5222LB and having trouble setting up?
Trying ipad app, computer, android but none can detect for remote viewing.
Local viewing is possible but need to connect to lan.

Or anyone has DLINK local support number? Try website but they don't have local number.

Can Sineoji be viewed from computer web browser?

Yes viewing from my web browser in the office. Dean from sineoji came over and set it up from my home for mobile phones and laptop.

Thanks geckosg.

Update on the situation, I called up the helpdesk and did all the necessary steps, hard reset, check router etc etc. When my laptop is scanning for the camera, I did the same thing on my ipad as well. Luck has it, ipad managed to detect the camera while laptop can't detect anything.

Give up on laptop, setup remote camera via ipad and get it working on all my mobiles.
No issue with camera. Only disappointed that it can only detect wireless 2G otherwise a good enough product for me to use.

As for why I didn't get Sineoji, Tampines Challenger doesn't have stock so get the next ip camera suited for my usage.

Cheers.

maybe u may want to manual login to your router and find the ip that connect to your camera...

if you set ur ip to some private (which my bro did), dont think can scan and check for camera ip connection which i use on another brand cam.

and also what type router u using.

Look at Post #9 of this thread, which shows how to set up Dynamic DNS for remote viewing using a free DDNS.

One of the things I realised with my wireless devices (and I have lots of them) is that you need to reset the wireless device once in a while. Don't ask me why. It is as if the wireless signals somehow fail to sync between the device and the wireless router. You can either reboot the wireless device or reboot the wireless router. For me, I sometimes do both.

P.S. This loss of signal happens to everyone of my wireless cameras, plus my wired Trendnet IP camera.

Agree with boss. Sometimes network devices need a reboot to work. But most of the time is the router. If need reboot too frequently, your router need to change

Lao uncle, most camera only on 2.4ghz. 5ghz have but more costly. But you will need clear line of sight for smooth bandwidth at 40-80mhz band with no obstructions in between.

This is because you did not setup your wireless environment well.

For a wired camera to get disconnection, it can only be the camera's fault.

What you are saying is the residential/consumer grade router needs to be replaced by a commercial grade appliance.

Which of my statement relates to that? Lolz. Even commercial ones hangs too once a while.

Whatever I have quoted relates to it.

It is often the user hangs the appliance, be it consumer or commercial products.

I run Router OS and Moca network appliances at home, the only time it fails me is the PSU faulty. Other than that, I never need to touch it for years.

What makes the "off the shelves" IP cameras hang is because the user expected too much out of a "toy".

Nvm, but it till best to restart once a while .
