silvertip Posted March 22, 2009 CID Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi i'm new here and glad i found ya. I'm running an I.P webcam showing off my fishtank. This is running via a D-Link router and i'd like to see how many people have visited my webcam. Is there any logging programmes that will keep a list of all these visitors, one that will work on a mac OS? Ta very much. Silvertip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug7272 Posted March 22, 2009 CID Share Posted March 22, 2009 Welcome! Depends on your setup. How is your webcam connected to the net? I mean, if I wanted to look at it where would I go to view your cam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvertip Posted March 22, 2009 Author CID Share Posted March 22, 2009 Well my webcam has it's own ip adress so it just plugs into the router and can be accessed via the web. The address is leicestercity.viewnetcam.com no need for www. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent messed with webcams much, maybe someone will come along with a better answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted March 22, 2009 CID Share Posted March 22, 2009 First, no one will access the cam without the prefix "http://" and "www" then whatever you have named the directory ( camera ) , and you must setup the router to allow it. Even you will not access it from another machine without the proper prefix. example " IP address " or /IP/camera/who knows " see what I mean ? There will be some sort of setup involved within your router, that will be the most important thing. And I'm sure there must be some software that you can configure the cam with. There will also be the firmware the cam uses for internal control. Granted, I'm no camera guru by any means, so maybe you can post which cam you have, and what software your using, and what router you have, so we can see your cool fish tank, I have a fish tank as well, and a cam, maybe I could do the same.

So your telling me that no one needs the location, it will just "be there" ? Look, it does work,(and it's cool) ! The browser will automatically add the prefix, well, nevermind, I was just trying to shed light, I jumped in where I shouldn't have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvertip Posted March 22, 2009 Author CID Share Posted March 22, 2009 I'm not sure why it works for some people and not others? I could see someone was watching the camera as the router light was flickering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
