Viewing WVC210 on cell phone

[tx2tn]

Has anyone been able to view their camera over their cell phone? I am on Sprint and have a Blackberry Curve 8330. I see the welcome screen but when I try to view the video it says it cannot open an xmlhttp session or something like that. Any help?

Enabling the MOBILE STREAMING feature in the AUDIO/VIDEO menu of the WVC210 camera allows you to use your Blackberry Curve 8330 cell phone to log into the live video stream from the camera from anywhere!  RTSP by default uses port 554, so you need to forward port 554 into the static LAN IP of the WVC210 camera...Once you do this, you could type in a the TZO domain name of the camera from your cell phone browser like rtsp://MyName.MyLinksysCamera.com/xxxxx (where xxxxx is the access code you set within the mobile streaming section)...

Peanuts, Thanks for your help. I have went to my linksys router WRT300N, I clicked on Applications and Gaming. I then went to Single Port Forwarding. I typed in Blackberry and then typed 554 on the external port and 554 on the internal port. Protocol is both and I typed in the fixed IP address to my camera. Is there anything I should do? I still cannot get it to work. The error screen on the blackberry says it is "giving up. cannot create an XMLHTTP instance"

I noticed you used rtsp://, should I use that instead of http???

Yes, to view your Camera on your Blackberry Curve 8330 you do not have to use http:// , instead you need to use the TZO domain name of the camera from our cell phone browser like rtsp://MyName.MyLinksysCamera.com/xxxxx (where xxxxx is the access code you set within the mobile streaming section)...

Your Blackberry Curve 8330 does support RTSP streaming...

Also on your router's web interface click on the Security tab and disable 'Block Anonymous Internet Request'.

Also uncheck the Blackberry under Single Port Forwarding and save the changes, goto Port Range Forwarding - 

Application Name : Blackberry

Start : 554

End  : 554

Protocol : Both

To IP Address : Enter the fixed IP address assigned to your camera...

Check the Enable box and save the changes...See if this works...

I'm still having trouble. When I use rtsp:// should it bring up my media player? It does. It doesn't show anything.

hi, sorry you are having trouble, this took me some time to get it working as well but the website myhomeserver.com helped me.  There is a tutorial and there are a few videos on using your linksys camera with RTSP,  I discovered that I had to forward port 5000 (TCP/UDP - aka BOTH) so the RTSP will work

Be sure to set your access code, mine is 12345

then forward port 554 TCP and port 5000 (TCP/UDP) and try that

When you go to the TZO domain using your cell, be sure you use  ---->   RTSP://<your TZO Cam Domain>:554/accesscode

Just you need to Open the Port 554, 8554 and 5000, as 8554 is an alternate port for RTSP. While accessing your camera from your Cell Phone, just you need to follow the instructions mentioned MyHomeServer and you should be able to view your camera on your cell phone.

Wow, I don't know why this has to be so hard. Here is what I have. Under single port forwarding I have forwarded ports 554, 5000, 8554. All of these point to the address of my camera. When I use my cell and go to rtsp......... it brings up my media player. I see a small green box in the corner that says "loading". Then a window pops up that says "the media being played is of an unsupported format". Any ideas? I went to myhomeserver.com and I believe I have everything configured as it says.

And you can play videos just fine from the same phone when you go to http://m.youtube.com?

Yes. I went to youtube and also played some other video from the phones stored files and it works just fine.
