IP Cameras / IP Video Servers

That is correct. No PC is required.

It is a good idea to test it from PICED first to make sure it is all OK.

 

Great, Top Idea thanks! But how? I have a spare camera here and have conected it all up and i get no picture on my page I have created for the web cam. Any tips.

cheers.

Will.

 

Check that you can view a static JPEG image from the web cam in a regular web browser.

See the FAQ topic "Problems with Displaying HTML". Many of the same principles apply.

 

Hi Will

In the webcam component setup, the URL should be something like

http://192.168.1.69/Jpeg/CamImg.jpg

where you'll have the IP address that you assigned the server.

You also need to have the HTTP Authentication filled in. The default username and password for that server is:

User: admin
Pwd: 1234

You obviously have to have the colour touchscreen and IP server on your LAN.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Matt

 

Thanks Matt,

Yea It is a CTC.

I have set it up this way:

http://192.168.0.77/Jpeg/CamImg.jpg

Admin
1234

But still does not work, It comes up with

Internet explorer cannot disply the wepage.

I am probably out of my depth here in computer talk but am trying to learn.

I know it must be so simple to set up but, I am missing something someware?

thanks
Will.

 

OK, to go a step further with this topic.

I have installed an Axis 241Q video server on my network and got it displaying the video feed from my security system on my CTC. It works a treat! Now I want to take the functionality a step further.

I want to be able to recall a page on the CTC automatically when an event is triggered on the CBUS network. Is there any way to do this other than in the logic engine? I have a PIR looking down my driveway. When it detects motion I want the page on my CTC that displays that particular camera to be recalled automatically for a preset period.

And to take it a step further again. The Axis 241Q can also be configured for motion detection, and when sensed close a dry contact relay on it's output. I want to connect these dry contact relays to an AUX input unit and get CTC to display any of the 4 video channels automatically when the Axis detects motion in the relevant video frame.

Am I looking at logic here as my only solution, or is something else doable like this in PICED?

 

You could use a button with a page link to select the required page and trigger the button from the C-Bus event (remote control tab in Component Properties). It is much easier in logic though.

As above.
