Haha, nice work Mathchris. These cameras are really nice once you get over the initial hurdles of setting them up. I had mine running four over three months straight and it never skipped a beat!

Got it working. I disabled the internet view, gave it a custom IP & port, then manually configured it for the internets.

I just can’t seem to get this BL-C1A working while setting up on a Mac. After a reset to factory defaults I find the camera at http://192.168.1.253?mode=local > login/password > Enable internet > register at viewcam.com, yes > camera configuring using uPnP and then I never hear from it again, how do I find it? I can get it through the “disable internet” setup but it seems I’ll still have to do the same auto setup if I want the viewmynetcam.com address.

I’m glad you got some use out of the article, Deuce. Sorry to hear you’re a Mac user though (just kidding)! Yes, you’re absolutely correct about each camera needing its own individual port. Good call!
