Operating System - Mac OS
Browser - Apple Safari
I guess then you can ask for help from someone who is using Mac OS.
Having once set, should be good to go - via vlc, right?

Yes, I've been through those documents.
But the solution is to get rtsp enabled
in the cameras and that seems to require
a Windows computer. My daughter tried
earlier today from her Mac portable and
gave up. I don't know why but I think it
always comes back to the required plugin
being a Windows .exeand other systems
wont deal with it. I've tried Safari and
Firefox in the iPhone and the response
is the same as from this Fedora desktop,
"what shall we use on this file?"
I probably could set up a Windows
computer using a spare hard drive and
use an XP oem disk for that. But I
really don't want to risk connecting XP
to my LAN, and my Windows user skills
are very poor, it would be a learning
exercise.
I may have to ship them to a friend and
get him to do it on his Windows system,
that or use different cameras, anything
withan ethernet output will work, it
just needs to be accessible as delivered
as were the others I'm using that did
not require the installation of a plugin
to be usable.
Or just continue using the iPhone which
does work. I need more cameras but I
guess they wont be Foscam C1's.
