In search of ... someone who wants a wireless camera (DCS-930L) & mini-rant
barney:
Picked up a D-Link DCS-930L wireless Internet capable camera a few weeks ago. Just spent an hour trying to install it. The only method that apparently will work requires a registration with D-Link's MyLink service. I have no desire to access this camera via the Web :down:. I have no desire to subscribe to a D-Link service - or anyone else's, for that matter :down:, on order to get the camera to work.
I'm certain there's nothing wrong with the camera :huh:. I'm equally certain, some personal reservations aside, that the D-Link service is OK :huh:. But I don't have time to mess with a piece of hardware that tries to dictate my actions before it's even fully installed >:(! OK, if time were not my enemy, I could prolly bypass this, but ...
So ...
Anyone want a camera :-\? PM me with an address, first response gets it. I'll ship it to ya within a day or two (2). No cost, not even postage. I don't wanna throw it away :-\, but I'm sure as Hell's back yard is hot not gonna keep it ;). It simply does not fit my standards for hardware :mad:.
barney:
Well, that didn't take long :P. It's wrapped, packed, and waiting to ship.
Innuendo:
Glad you found someone who could make good use of it, Barney. Hopefully, your good deed will be repaid soon.
barney:
Thanks, but I'd hardly call it a good deed :P, just a dislike of wasting good hardware even if it doesn't suit my needs.
No one local had a use for it, so I thought of DC - one (1) of the very few non-RTFM :Thmbsup: forae I've ever found.
And, apparently, it's going to be used to view a new grandchild - can't think of a better use :-*.
Now I just have to find a wireless camera that I can use intranet. Maybe Radio Shack? Oh, well, the search is on ;).
Deozaan:
I bought D-Link once before. I learned my lesson. Never again.
Sorry you had to learn your lesson, too. :(
