There is some type of error on quicktime that needs a change to the configuration because the camera needs an HTTP format, but the current version of quicktime does not seem to allow an easy re-set. It also has problems hitting the wifi router since the software that comes with the camera does not work with apple equipment (apple router). We may have found a solution on line, but wondered if anyone else experienced the same challenges and had other solutions.

Any advice/direction would be appreciated.
I don't use Apple so I am not in the same situation. I have 2 Foscam wireless IP cameras and they both work fine for me. The only challange I had was getting them to work remotely over the internet, once I figured out the port forwarding everything fell into place. You need to access your router to change these settings. I used the software that comes with the camera to login from a PC and IP Cam Viewer on my Android phone.
