Dlink DCS-933L connecting to roboRealm

[medofbr]

The laptop's ip is 192.168.2.56
should i change both ip's to 10.54.04.2, 10.54.04.5 (or some other #)?

As long as they are compatible then I wouldn't worry too much about the IPs for now, just get things to work. Eventually you'll need to change them for competition.

You should be able to use a web browser to view the camera stream with the camera directly connected to the PC.
I haven't played enough with RoboRealm to be much help debugging that interface, but I'd suggest getting the standard one's to work first.

Using settings in the browser got it to work!

Thanks.

Ben,

If you get the browser to view the video on the same machine then you know that the network connection is good, so that's a first test to check.

Then have a look at the Axis configuration. In more recent years the camera supports more formats. You need to specify MJPEG as the streaming format.

Finally, the authentication also changed. Try switching authentication off (i.e. don't require a username/password) or switch it to a basic authentication scheme (I think the newer models support more sophisticated authentication.)

Once you have made these two changes to the camera, check that the browser connection still works and then try the Axis module set to 900/920. This is an issue one team had last year and with the above changes seemed to fix the issue. Please post here if that doesn't fix the problem.

Thanks,
STeven.
