Notes for Using D-ViewCam Home Server 1.10 Application:
1. D-ViewCam Home Server and D-ViewCam can not co-exist in one computer. 2. User must set the IGD port mapping to 80, 108(The port : 108 was default value, please open http://yourhomeserver/dvc/bin/scpd.xml with browser and reference the default value of ControlPort) manually when IGD failed to map port automatically. 3. The recorded file listed in the D-ViewCam Home Server main console sometimes may not playback when you click it. Please try it again once this happened. 4. D-ViewCam Home Server uses broadcast to discover IP cameras in your local network. If there is a delay in a cameras response or network traffic jam issue, auto discovery may not find the IP camera. If this happens, please run auto discovery again 5. For cameras determined to be offline, when D-ViewCam Home Server is trying to reconnect, it will display Connecting status during the retry, and if failed to connect, D-ViewCam Home Server will show Disconnected status. 6. The time cursor in video playback is positioned at the nearest complete image (I frame). This behavior will become apparent if the recording length is too short (less than 30 seconds). 7. It is recommended using Admin user name to connect with devices due to some of models having different use behaviors. 8.
