I can't get my IP cams to show in ARC. These are MJPEG cameras so it should work I guess. EZB initializes the parameters but nothing shows in the window. Here are the parameters :
http://192.168.0.177:8081/video.cgi?user=correctuser&pwd=correctpassword
when i type this in Chrome or IE it works.
Any clue ? Someone ?
@Rich: it is indeed savable as jpg. It should work. I also tried from two other computers on which I have EZB.
You will always want to use SNAPSHOT.CGI
As for the error, I'm wondering if there is any message in the debug window? Does the Debug popup and display information about the error?
Because ARC is requesting the image and attempting to process so quickly, I'm also wondering if the image size may be an issue. I don't see why, but it would be worth looking into. Can you try changing the source image to a lower resolution within the camera?
Those are the only two questions I have for now...
PS, empty your garbage
Hello DJ
No error message in the debug, just usual initialization conf. I'll follow your suggestions and I let you know. I already use a low resolution (320x240) on the source, though. It is to save power.
For the PS : it is just to show to the entire world that I recycle !
Haha, thumbs up to the recycling!
We are going to add MJPEG (motion jpeg) to the next release of ARC. If you aren't able to solve the issue with standard snapshot JPEG's, you will be able to use MJPEG soon.
@RICH yes i got my ip cam to work like DJ said
@DJ MJPEG ,that will be great
OK, my IP Camera turned up today and it works in ARC
Use;
Change YourIPAddress to whatever it's set as, i.e. 192.168.0.44 Change admin to your username (if it's not already admin) Change 123456 to your password (if you changed it)
Paste that into the camera selection (red box) Set the resolution to 320x240 (green box) See live image (you won't see me though, yellow box)
Nope... it doesn't work on my side. There must be something wrong with my installation of ARC, definitely... I tried to reinstall, and tried from a new project file, nothing. I tried from two other computers, same... confused
The only thing I can think it may be is incorrect username and/or password since it will throw an error if they are wrong.
There are two ways to do it. One is the way I mentioned above
And the other
Unless you have a weird firmware on the camera (although I've yet to find a reliable source for firmware).
In your browser the snapshot.cgi was a static jpeg wasn't it?
I guess if you can't sort it at least the update will fix that
