Spoofing the useragent works - looks like bad UA sniffing.

function CheckBrowser()
{
	var userAgent = navigator.userAgent; //Get userAgent
	if(userAgent.indexOf("Windows") > -1)
	{
		var isOpera = userAgent.indexOf("Opera") > -1;
		if (isOpera){return "Opera"}; //Is Opera
		if (userAgent.indexOf("Firefox") > -1){return "FF";} //Is Firefox
		if (userAgent.indexOf("Chrome") > -1){return "Chrome";} //Is Chrome
		if (userAgent.indexOf("Safari") > -1)//Is Safari
		{
			if (userAgent.indexOf("Mobile") > -1) {return "IPhone";} //Is IPhone
			return "Safari";
		} 
		if (userAgent.indexOf("compatible") > -1 && userAgent.indexOf("MSIE") > -1 && !isOpera){return "IE";} ; //Is IE
	}
	else
	{
		if (userAgent.indexOf("Android") > -1)//Is Safari
		{
			if (userAgent.indexOf("Mobile") > -1) {return "Android";} //Is IPhone
			return "MJPEG";
		}
		else if (userAgent.indexOf("Safari") > -1)//Is Safari
		{
			if (userAgent.indexOf("Mobile") > -1) {return "IPhone";} //Is IPhone
			return "MJPEG";
		}
		else
		{
			return "MJPEG";
		} 	
	}
} //myBrowser() end

Well, i have set up a plugin called "User Agent switcher 0.73"
when i set my ID to "google bot" it works :) but this is somehow
a workaround, and firefox at its default setup is not working...
The problem is that plugin do not save its last settings, and each time I restart
Firefox, i will need to seto new browser ID again.
At the recent firefox update, 4.0.1 the issue was not fixed.
I see the status is "UNCO" which means unconfirmed, does this
means the IP cameraswork for somebody with default setup?
The issue is with the camera manufacturer - feel free to contact them and reference this bug.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
so Eugene: who made this camera and do you think this is still an issue? If not, I'll happily close it for you ;-)

You may close it, its right in time I guess.
