I was rather disappointed to find that it does not work with Firefox - you need an Internet Explorer ActiveX control to view the video images. This means it will not work on my Linux computers as supplied by the manufacturer.
What works:
- The camera gets its network configuration by DHCP (despite what the quick start guide says) so by checking the DHCP deamon log you can find its IP address.
- You can access its configuration screen with a web browser (default username admin, password 1234)
- Receive a snapshot picture using http://
/snapshot.jpg - Download a mjpeg video stream using wget http://admin:1234@192.168.1.117/mjpg/video.mjpg. (I don't know how to display this in real time though - mplayer doesn't seem to work).
- Some other things are detailed here.
- Someone has written a tcl application that works with a similar camera, but not this one (see here).
The most up to date information I have on using this camera with linux can be found at http://ic-3010wg.webhop.net.

With 43% using firefox, Edimax should make it possible for the costumer to use their product without having to rely on Microsoft products.
You can use firefox to watch mjpg in realtime ;)
Or vlc, like:
vlc http://admin:1234@192.168.1.X/mjpg/video.mjpg
this camera is continuosly crashing, in detail is the webserver crashing every few hours, exactly like the 1510wg model.
any way to fix this?
thanks
I don't know I'm afraid - I am not using the camera any more - probably worth complaining to the manufacturer - every few hours does not sound right!
I use this webcam from juillet and i have no crash with this device. It's solid like a rock, no probleme for me and th eebcam run 24hours evrey day of the week.
For the crashes it maybe caused by the autonegociation of the ethernet.
Just try to force 100Mb/Full duplex in your switch. For me, it was the pb.
