OK, I got it to work.... sort of
Let me begin by saying that if you want an easy to use webcam and you DO NOT want to use MyDlink, then the 936L is not for you. It is specifically designed to function with MyDlink to the point where it's very difficult to use as a regular webcam.
First off, the setup function will push you to register the camera with MyDlink. Don't do it, that will misconfigure several camera settings. Instead, skip MyDlink and finish connecting to the local wifi. After that, get into the camera's webpage and change the network parameters to hard code the IP. BTW, having a webpage that only works in Internet Explorer is about the dumbest thing I can imagine. IE is the least stable browser platform and most people don't even use it. I have IE on my Windows phone and the camera's webpage still shows "unsupported browser". This is another example of pushing the user towards only using MyDlink.
After you register the camera correctly to your network, you should be able to open the correct ports to push streaming to the Internet. If you have a DLink router, then uPnP will do it for you. Too bad 99% of us use our ISP's routers. Getting good video on the other end is also tough, since the camera uses 3 channels and high end video. The default channel (1) is high def, so you may want to change it to the smaller size of channel two (2). This will stop the high def channel from timing out on most webcam apps. If the app can select camera channels, then use channel two (2), and you should be ok.
Honestly, DLink has a really good camera in the 936L if they would just stop cramming MyDlink down our throats. At $30 USD, it's a good deal. It has awesome video, good security features and I really like the mounting bracket. By shaving down the plastic hinge stop, I was able to convert the base into a window mount. Using poster putty, I mount the ring base to the window; then swing the camera down 180 degrees to face outside. This is where the horizontal adjustment ring really shines. I just rotate the ring so the camera is now rightside up. Infrared has to be shutdown, because it just bounces off the glass and blinds the camera. Still, for the money, it's a well made camera. DLink, please stop trying to push your MyDlink site unless you plan to allow people to register non Dlink products. I like your cameras, but I like Foscam as well.
