<div>My MiCasaVerde setup experience.<br />
<br />
I already have my network setup with a firewall and wireless router. I read the instructions and it specified that the device will auto detect your network and adjust it's settings. It did this just fine but it didn't turn on the wireless. I couldn't access the device using the instructions in the package which is why I'm writing this setup synopsis.<br />
<br />
How I accessed my device: <br />
I ran an IP scan and recorded all the live IPs. I then connected the device and ran it again and saw which was the new IP.<br />
<br />
I put that IP into the browser and was able to access and configure the device. After doing this I thought that it might be easier to have created a MAC address/IP reservation on my router for the device. Even plugging directly into the device didn't help, findvera.com was not able to locate the device even though I was getting a good IP and internet access. <br />
<br />
Are there firewall rules that need to be put into place first or does the device need to be the DNS server?<br />
<br />
Anyone else have issues setting up the device initially?<br />
<br />
Also, is the findvera.com service up and running yet? On the findvera tab all I get is instructions and this in red at the bottom:<br />
<br />
FindVera remote server not assigned.<br />
<br />
<br />
------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
This is a bit dis-heartening to me. I am awaiting the arrival of my Vera, but I also have a network already set up with a static internet IP and static local IPs for most of my devices. <br />
<br />
I tried to play with the test-vera a little today as well, but the response time is excruciatingly slow, and I was never able to get the camera(s?) to display any live images, though I did find some archived pictures. Is this response time going to be what can be expected, I mean it was the middle of the night so I don't imagine it was due to unexpectedly high server loads. <br />
<br />
I am very excited to get my Vera and get it up and running, and will report on the entire process.</div>JesseBurton
