New Wiser security camera's

Do these support JPEG compression?

I use SecuritySpy. http://www.bensoftware.com/securityspy/index.html

Anybody used them as a camera within SecuritySpy?

Also any plans for an outdoor version?

Thanks

 

Which camera?

 

A camera specifically designed for the Wiser

http://www.wiserhomeautomation.com/wiser-home-automation-IP-web-camera.shtml

It says it supports MJPEG, but I want to be sure...

 

Ok 5200/IP633.
I don't know if it is released yet but that adds a bit of weight to your comment on updating the CIS web site.
This one looks similar but I would make sure it's the same firmware before using it's manual for information.

The wiser site you sent me has the manual.
CBus needs a JPEG image and since they are selling it that should work for CBus.
The software you are looking at says it supports MJPEG so should be fine to manually setup camera.

MJPEG is not what you want if using a web cam with Wiser. You need a camera which can serve up single JPEG images.

 

It's a dedicated camera for the Wiser..so it must work with it...

 

It would be nice to know if it can do JPEG for your Wiser and MJPEG for the recording software at the same time but the manual is a bit light on information.
Your software says it supports single JPEG anyway.

Yeh..but it's a big plus..for me..I might buy a couple now, because it looks like it will work with security spy. I'll report back once I've tested it

 

Ok. I couldn't quite get it working..

Images flashed up in Security Spy, then disappeared..

I would buy these cameras if I new for sure that it could produce a reliable image stream in SS

Could the kind people at CIS or cbus forums please test this for me and report back the Security Spy config settings to make this work..

All you have to do is get a mac, then download the security spy app trial, then give it a whirl..

Thanks

 

That camera seems a bit light on information with regard to multiple streams as far as I could find.
Perhaps you could try to set your software to read the single JPEG when you are loading the settings if you haven't already.

 

How difficult would it be..

Why can't CIS just get a mac laptop (total cost =1K) and download a Secuity Spy trial and test this themselves? Then they can release the camera config's to the software vendor..

I'm unable to properly test this..without buying a camera. And I refuse to do so until I know it will work..so we are at a stalemate, until CIS confirms this funtionality as far as I am concerned..

 

You've lost me completely now.
How did you get an image flash up if you don't have the camera?
If you do have the camera just try and set it up manually as per the Security Spy manual.

 

I was lent one to try..but really only had use of it for under 30 mins..
Sometimes things like camera configs take longer than that..

Actually it's an interesting issue. Maybe CIS should have a 30 day no questions asked money back guarantee on some of this gear (like is common practice in the the US)..so some of us boffins can test it out for them...we might actually be doing them an unpaid favour..

 

Bump...

Bump..

No answer from the forum..?

 

Thanks for your reply.

OK. No problem, If CIS won't help me actually buy one of their own cameras, then I won't. I'll buy some other make.

Seriously. It's like getting blood out of a stone sometimes with these guys. Why don't they offer a 30 day money back guarantee for something like this? I'd be more than happy to test it for them, and provide the info back here on this website for goodness sake. I'd even help promote the camera by emailing the settings to Ben at Security spy. But I'll be darned I will do this at my expense, and time, and find it doesn't work and not be able to return the camera!

The same company in the US would not hesitate to have a 30 day money back trial. Why do we have to plead like little school children to have this sort of support for cbus gear here in Australia? It's not like I haven't spent 20K plus already on other CIS gear....

They want me to buy someone else's gear? Fine. No problem. Could someone please point me to the thread, or detailed information listing ALL compatible cameras with WISER and ALL their appropriate static jpeg URL settings (that you have to set and put into PICED to make the images come up properly)

Just where is that list? On this website? On CIS? on pdf? via phone support? My dealer can't find it. Neither can I.

So I can make an informed choice.

Thanks

 

Motion JPG video stream address for Wiser IP Camera.

The Wiser IP camera image flashes if you access the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/image/jpeg.cgi address path to the single frame jpeg image from video viewing or DVR software, because this software is looking for a motion jpg video stream rather than a single frame jpeg image.

We have discovered that the address path to the motion jpeg video stream on the Wiser IP camera is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/video/mjpg.cgi (it does not seem to be documented anywhere), and that using this address from Mobotix MxCC software (for example) presents a continuous video stream from the Wiser IP camera.

We would imagine that the above video stream address would also work fine with other viewing software like Security Spy, though we have not tested using Security Spy software.
