IP Vision Config
Camera settings is a URL:
http://userid:password@host:port/path/file?param1=value¶m2=value
rtsp://userid:password@host:port/path/file?param1=value¶m2=value
Since the entire URL string can be quite long, it is broken in separate components in IP Vision.
- Protocol: rtsp or http
- Host: ip address or fqdn
- Port: port number
- Userid: userid
- Password: password
- Path: /path/file?param1=value¶m2=value
Each camera manufacturer uses a different URL for video streams or still images access. There may be variations among different models from the same manufacturer.
IP Vision has pre-defined path/file/params for most common models of the following cameras vendors: Airlink101, Axis, Cannon, D-Link, Edimax, Mobotix, Linksys, Panasonic, Sharx, StarDot, Toshiba, Trendnet, Vivotek, Y-cam
Motion JPEG (mjpeg) and MPEG4 are the video stream formats
supported by IP Vision.
Check your camera documentation
to find out if mjpeg/mpeg4 is supported and the URL to
access it.
Some cameras support multiple streams formats simultaneously, others don't and you have to configure the format you want using the camera configuration utility.
If you have a webcam connected to a Windows computer, you can use webcamXP video server to stream mjpeg video to your iPhone/iPod.
