The Siemens gigaset WLAN camera and its hidden features.
This is not in the manual.

This IP WLAN camera comes with Windows software and can be viewed with internet explorer together with active X.

If you need to the stream can be picked up by any application that can handle .ASF streams.
The stream is found at:
http://-your url-/img/video.asf
With this URL you can watch the camera with many mediaplayers that can open the .ASF format like WinAmp and Windows Media Player even if you are not using Windows.

To make the stream available over the internet and inside the LAN via a router, use an extra port besides port 80. For instance use extra port 1080.
In the router add a port foreward from 1080 to -IP-camera-:1080.


Inside the LAN look at port 80, outside the LAN via the internet, look at port 1080.
