To Do
- Mess with the wireless cameras some more

Cameras
- The batteries are all charged, so now I have enough juice to run the cameras
- The new camera was setup last night and upon trying to connect this morning, I got the connection failed 5 message again
- Note: the instructions manual explicitly states that you cannot shoot remotely while the camera is wired
- I am starting to run out of ideas.
- One was to connect the camera to the printer wirelessly, but the printer does not have a USB port
- Another would be to try to connect Ant's laptop to the camera ad-hoc
- Maybe I will try this, I could change ant's password and just safely log him out
- I am able to get Ant's laptop to create a computer to computer network to talk to the camera
- To test it, I disconnect the laptop from the Kochlab server and ask the camera to connect to the p2p network
- When it tries to connect, it makes the laptop connect as well
- I am certain there is a connection between the two, but I still get the failed 5 message
- Yay for Google, i searched the conenction 5 problem and found that all you need is a patch to fix it
- It works just fine on Larry's computer, about to try it with the laptop
- The refurb'd camera now has a setting to connect to Larry's comp and to Ant's laptop
- As of right now, Larry's will dump to the C: Drive
- Koch wants us to be able to dump directly into the server
Networking
- I have setup both Larry's and Ant's computers to display the Z: drive (//controller/pub) and the new Y: drive (//controller/pub/,dropzone/wireless camera)
- From here, I will ask the camera to dump photos straight into the Y drive
- Your photos should be in a folder marked with the date the photo was taken
- hmmm...it seems that the software will not recognize the mapped drives when looking for a place to dump the photos
