Q: Best pan/tilt/zoom IP cam for Time Capsule Router?
Hi all, I have a new APple Time Capsule router for home network. Previously a non-apple router was used and I have multiple Foscam IP cameras. New Time Capsule Router does not recognize the multiple cameras and I can only set up one of the Foscam's out of the 6 I have. Any thoughts on best IP Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras to use for Apple Time Capsule Router? Please help. thank you,
null, Windows XP, Apple Time Capsule Router

What was the exact issue that you were not able to set up your current Foscam IP cameras with the Time Capsule (TC)?
Was it because you need to configure each camera to use the same port for remote access? If so, then you will not be able to do so with any consumer-grade router. You must use a different port for each camera for them to be accessible "simultaneously" from the Internet.
The Foscam software should allow you to assign different TCP/UDP ports and local static IP addresses for each camera. Then you would just need to configure port mapping for each camera on the TC.
