sabin Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I put in an IP camera into a demonstration we have set up in our shop, and I wanted to make it so that when they push the doorbell, a notification comes up saying that someone is at the door, and a picture comes up from the camera. The IP of the camera is 192.168.1.187 and the URL to monitor it live is http://192.168.1.187/live/index.html but when you put in an HTML link it gives an error message. is there a way to just get C4 to retrieve one picture and show it, or is there some way to modify the URL to end in .jpeg and get it to just retrieve one picture?

slemay Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 You can't put the URL to page that gives the image - you have to put the entire URL to the jpg!So http://192.168.1.187/live/image.jpg would be what you'd put in your camera driver.Then your announcement agent will just call the camera.If you can't get it working in your camera driver - it won't work in the announcement.

slemay Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 It's best to use Apex or Panasonic IP cameras - as those always work. If you've got something else - it may work - but you have to start digging for that live image url. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFUG Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Axis IP cams like the 213 and 214 work for sure. Very nice but expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slemay Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Yes - sorry... Axis... on the road and reading messages while doing other things all at once - almost like texting while driving... LOL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
