pla-14wcam homeplug ip cameras

Post by glum »

Hi,

Just purchased 3 of these cameras for running with zm. They work on the homeplug 1.0 spec so they're 14mbps ethernet over power IP cameras. I've got an 85mbps bridge onto my 200mbps homeplug network which is where the zm server lives.

I can connect to the cameras OK and zm can connect to the cameras as far as I can tell but it times out grabbing images.

A bit of hunting on the internet gives me what I think is the correct path (webcam.jpg) but nada.

The ip is 192.168.1.xx and I assuming port 80. I've tried using the admin user and password in the ip string but not sure if I got that right.

Anybody use these cameras and got it to work or is a return to supplier and buy a better camera?

I've been talking with the suppier of these cams and they're next to useless (the cameras not the suppliers!)

I'm going to return them and get something on the compatible list.


thanks for the offer though
