- I have the same issue described here - MobilincHD v4.4.1, trying to use an Insteon 2864-22x HD IP cam. Performance is very inconsistent - using a browser (Mac or Windows), I can wirelessly (computer and cam) connect to cam and receive HD video and audio.
- I have two Insteon cameras at a remote location along with several insteon devices and a 2412n. The cameras are set up to send motion-activated snapshots. I can access them with my Mac and with my iPhone using MobiLinc Pro.
The Camera tool in Excel 2011 for Mac creates a “picture” of a range of cells. “Picture” is in quotation marks because these pictures aren’t static; they’re dynamic— they change. Pictures are linked to the range you select, and they update when the range changes.
Access the camera through the IP Camera Tool, Internet Explorer (IE), Firefox, Chrome, Safari or the INSTEON iOS/Android smartphone and tablet app (requires SmartLinc Hub, sold separately). 1) Double-click the camera’s IP address. Insteon cameras require an additional product called the Insteon Hub. For the newest model cameras, you need model 2242-222 or 2245-222. The Hub works together with your router and your mobile app, acting like a central controller that lets you control all of your Insteon devices via the internet or the mobile app.
You can use Excel’s Camera command in a variety of ways:
Display the calculation results of numbers or charts when the calculations and charts are on hidden worksheets (but not hidden rows or columns), other worksheets, or cell ranges that are off-screen. You can keep your formulas out of sight so unwanted visitors are less likely to tamper with them. Because the result is a linked picture, updated results are displayed automatically.
Precisely size and position the picture of the cell range. The Camera command creates an object that you can size and format like a picture. You can position the Camera picture anywhere on a worksheet.
Position live snapshots of various ranges from distant places in a workbook. You can make them fit close together on a worksheet.
Customizing to get the Camera tool in Excel 2011 for Mac
Before you can use this magical tool, you have to turn it on.
Choose View→Toolbars→Customize Menus and Toolbars.
Click the Commands tab.
Drag the Camera command to any toolbar (or menu) and click OK.
Using the Camera tool in Excel 2011 for Mac
To use the Camera tool, take these steps:
Drag over a range of cells and then release the mouse button.
Everything within the selection range becomes part of a Camera picture. Objects (such as graphs or PivotTables) completely within the selection area are included in the resulting Camera picture.
Click the Camera button on the toolbar (or select Camera from the menu if you put the command on a menu).
The cursor changes to a plus sign (+).
Move the mouse cursor to a new location and then drag the mouse to create a Camera picture.
The new location can be on the same worksheet, on another worksheet in the same workbook, or a worksheet in another open workbook (which creates a link).
When using the Camera option, the camera’s linked picture location shouldn’t overlap the original selection range.
I have many IP cameras on the same LAN network. I want to get MAC address and port number of each camera, although I don't know ip address of them. Furthermore, if the ip and port of a camera is changed, how to detect it?
I've also searched on internet about this problem. Most of people responded using some of the Window functions such as SendARP () or using command line 'arp -a'. But if do it, then get all MAC address of the LAN network that regardless of the camera's or the computer's.
Please help me!

I would start with a port scanner such as nmap and look for information that will identify your IP cameras.
If all of your cameras are the same, you may be able to detect them by the OS information returned.
You might also be able to do a banner grab to determine the port:
Use C++ to parse the nmap output. Change the network address range to fit your network.
Do your IP cameras broadcast any identifying information, e.g with mDNS packets? Maybe you can catch these broadcasts. Google for 'mDNS' or 'Zeroconf'.

Are all of the cameras you are looking for made by the same company? If so, the MAC addresses may all share a common prefix that was assigned to that company, or do they support HTTP or some other protocol you could use to probe the camera to identify it as well?
If they don't share similar MAC addresses, you can still use other methods to find all the cameras.
One way I might approach the problem:
You may find that the cameras support some SNMP commands that you could use as an identifying factor. In the worst case, you could send an HTTP packet to the IP address and see if the host responds with the webpage for the camera assuming each one has an embedded web server. Chances are, there is at least one protocol you could use to identify the cameras out of all of your network devices.
