after upgrading to mountain lion, my ip camera video feeds time out

I've been using my iMacs for a few years to monitor six ip Camera video feeds. The cameras I use are both FOSCAM and AXIS brands. I've used a few third party software solutions to do the monitoring, but I could also always use Safari to access a camera at a time by putting that camera's IP address in the address field and logging into the camera.


After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my video feeds started timing out when using DComplex's IP Camera Viewer, so I thought initially it was strictly an issue with that third party app. However, I then logged into my cameras using Safari and they timed out as well. Similarly, when using Axis Camera viewer, my video feeds would time out. It seems as whatever the issue, it does not affect Firefox, because I can still login and monitor 1 feed at a time using that browser without any timeout issues, and for some odd reason, the FOSCAM only program uFoscam works, but the problem for me with that app is that it only works with Foscam, and not the Axis cameras (besides it's an inferior program to IP Camera Viewer in my opinion as well).


Has anyone encountered this problem and come up with a solution? I'm thinking it's some sort of plugin or video codec problem, but it's well above my paygrade to figure it out.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4)

So how long does everyone who doesn't have access to the beta have to wait to get 10.8.2? I'm glad to hear that they seem to have a fix, but it doesn't do most of us any good if we do not have access to this beta. If I understand correctly, betas are only available to those who pay Apple money to be in their developer programs. Am I wrong?

Mac Fanatic, you gotta use quotes if you're gonna quote someone else! 🙂


As for the problem described in this thread, I wanted to chime in and say I've experienced the same problem. Axis camera feeds are INSTANTLY timing out for me in Safari on 10.8. In our business, we have many Axis cameras that we always keep an eye on in FileMaker Web Viewer objects, in their own little dedicated windows (think little tiny camera windows that are always there). The suggestion to "just use Chrome or FireFox" won't work because FileMaker uses the Safari web engine on the Mac with no option to change it. This is definitely a bug that Apple should pay attention to, if they have any pride in their web browser at all.


I'm glad to hear that 10.8.2 will likely fix this problem. Bug fixes are a wonderful thing, amiright?
