Background


These pages summarise the information I have collected together regarding the use of Edimax IP Cameras with the Linux operating system.
It has been written because the Edimax software only works on Microsoft Windows, so alternative software is needed to use the cameras from Linux.

In writing these notes I have used an Edimax IC-3010wg wireless IP camera, but I think that their other cameras are similar, although I have not tested any others.  See also http://ic1500.wikispaces.com/ which includes some similar information on another IP Camera.

The most relevant pages for an end-user are Receiving Images and VIdeo and Network Ports & Commands.

There is also some information that will be useful for anyone wanting to hack the device to add custom firmware - See Hardware & System Software if you would like to try.
