804281 2009-08-25 22:03:00 Am wanting to ftp a camera to a site without going through a PC if possible. Anyone any suggestions on a small network device for doing this (yeah know you can get IP cameras that do this but this is an ordinary video cam).
Thanks

804282 2009-08-26 00:10:00 Not easily. The price of buying a converter you might as well just get an IP Camera. Agent_24 (57)
804283 2009-08-26 00:17:00 Convertor? Where can get one do you know?
Thanks

804284 2009-08-26 00:21:00 iPhone 3GS + FTP-on-the-Go app ;) Chilling_Silence (9)
804285 2009-08-26 00:28:00 There's a few Asus routers that can do this.

WL500W and WL500gP

Both allow you to connect a webcam and ftp via its USB port

The default firmware is a bit buggy though, so suggest you run custom linux firmware on it, but it will require a bit more tech knowledge;)

804287 2009-08-26 01:03:00 In that case, ask one of them to get FTP-on-the-Go app and try uploading their videos via FTP - The functionality to do so was only just added in the latest release of the app :) Chilling_Silence (9)

How would a laptop with Video In (or a USB dongle) work? Should be able to get one for about $200……………
