IP Camera Plugins?

[glenncol]

Hi all

Have any of you come across a plugin that you can view IP security cameras on the T3?

[BigbobOz]

Nice idea! I'd be keen to have that capability. Will dig around.

I've downloaded the plugin, good question, how do you install them?
Nothing in the manual.

Mine is Plugin/Package Installer
Easy when you look!

Installed OK and it's in English, thought it may be Dutch coming from a Dutch site.
Just have to set up one of the cameras.

Hi guys

I didnt have to go into any menu to install it, I put the file on a USB key and i plugged it in and was asked if i wanted to install it

Working for me with one Foscam camera, I'll try more later.

[Fester1952]

Got another camera going, this is great!
Maybe this should be in the "Plugins" thread.
Good find Bob.

Bastard! I can't work out how to get this working for my camera. Have a Brickcom which has one listed in the list of supported cameras but no idea what to enter in the video field. Any tips?

[Fester1952]

The only fields I had to change was the IP address, port number and username and password. I left all other fields. Mine are all Foscam cameras maybe yours need more info than mine.

[BigbobOz]

Did it have the video field filled in by a preset? What do you have in this field?

[Fester1952]

The only mention of "video" is a field called "video-URL", I left that blank.

[BigbobOz]

I tried that this evening and it worked but just for snap shots, not video. Guess I was being too diligent before!

That'll do. Like that you can quickly bring up the camera is a PIP. Might email my manufacturer and see if they can suggest a string that will feed video.

[Fester1952]

Bob, using Google translate and it seems for your camera you have to enter the RTSP (real time streaming protocol) address in that field.
I went to your cameras website and they say for RTSP "type in the URL rtsp://IP Camera’s IP Address/channel1. Then you can see the video streaming. E.g. rtsp://192.168.1.100/channel1" or channel 2.
Give that a shot.

[glenncol]

Damn guys what if you cameras are not on the list?

It does not seem to have a Onvif compliant selection either

[BigbobOz]

E.g. rtsp://192.168.1.100/channel1" or channel 2.
Give that a shot.

Thanks Fester! That's done the trick. I had tried rtsp://etc but didn't add the channel1 or 2. Channel 1 worked in the app but when using it with the PIP feature, the T3 complained about HD not supported with PIP, so I changed it to channel2 which I have set at VGA and we're cooking with gas!

Interestingly, when I added my second camera with the same settings (except for it's details) and I got an error which I ignored. Saved and it worked. Now going back into the settings and test, the test works.

So message for anyone else, persist with your settings if you think they're right!

Yeah that sucks, I was surprised with I saw my manufacturer in the list. It only has the one camera listed but it seems the details are the same. Or perhaps that's why I get the initial error I mentioned above...

I think pick some at random, well perhaps the better known manufacturers and try your luck. As I mentioned above, if you get an error on test, save anyway and see if it works. I had to use the second Authentication in URL option but enter my username and password when the 1st is selected.

Ignore the video field initially.

They're my tips that I can think of, good luck. It was a great thought you had so a shame you can't get it working. Have to say it is convenient, so try some more.
