how to set TRENDnet SecurView Wireless Internet Surveillance Camera TV-IP110W up

My first suggestion; leave yourself plenty of time. This will not be accomplished in five minutes. However, I would suspect many of you reading this column are mighty frustrated by now, and are looking to the reviews for assistance. Fact is you will learn more from these reviews than from tech support! Here's how to set these cameras up (I have four!) TRENDnet Wireless Internet Camera Server (TV-IP110W)

Step 1. Lose the disk and the instruction manual. They are of little use.
Step 2. Enter the [...] website, find your camera in download section.
Step 3. Download and install SecureView and IPSetup.
Step 4. Power up the security camera and install the ethernet cable to your router.
Step 5. Load IPSetup and find your camera, double click and enter the setup program.
Step 6. Select static IP and record the camera number, configure your settings.
Step 7. Hint! for email notification, ping your mail server and enter the numeric IP.
Step 8. Hint! select this NTP time server for your security camera <64.90.182.55> otherwise the camera will forget the time each time you unplug it. This is a pain to reset! Make sure you enter your correct timezone, e.g. GMT -5:00 for Eastern US Time Zone
Step. 9 Port forward your router using the router setup routine. Just do a google on port forwarding!
Step 10. If port forwarding doesn't work, select another port, e.g. default port '80' did not work for me!
Step 11. Hint! You don't need SecureView to capture and email images! Just enable motion detect on the setup screen.
Step 12. To make sure you can view cameras from a remote location, use a laptop and connect to an unsecured wireless connection, enter "[...]" and record your IP address. Now enter your IP address e.g. [...] where the numeric string is your IP and :80 is the port you forwarded under steps 10 and 11.
Step 13. Hint! Do not try to view camera images on your desktop and wireless laptop at the same time! You will lose connectivity to your IP Camera! Each Camera must have a unique port!
Step 15: Sit back and enjoy the view!

PS. Trendnet offers Excellent technical support. They are open on New Year's Day and were extremely polite and helpful. Unfortunately, and all too often, you need to figure things out for yourself!
