Cameras in Client Suite 3.0
I purchased a $69 Dlink DCS-930L camera today, got it installed, am able to view it from their apps and my browser but am now trying to configure it to run inside the client app 3.0.
Great App, Dave, BTW. THX
In looking at the other camera configs they have lines like:
http://curtbinder.dyndns.info:8080/nphM ... TP/1.0\r\n
or
http://217.126.89.102:8020/axis-cgi/mjp ... on=320x240
but no where in the DLink dox does it tell me how to write a line like that for this camera. When I just use a browser call of the ip like
http://10.0.0.2:3462
I get an error: the remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized
Anyone got ideas? Thx

Re: Cameras in Client Suite 3.0
This is what I did to find my URL of my camera feed. I viewed the page of the camera through a web browser. Mine has several settings that I can change. I viewed the page source and it shows you the information for the video feed. Now, you may have to view the source on different frames depending on how the page is setup. Also, you may even be able to right click on the video feed itself and open it in its own window. If you can do that, just copy that URL.
If you are still having problems locating the URL, PM me the public URL to the camera and I can look around and see if I can find it for you.

Re: Cameras in Client Suite 3.0
Quick update. I just viewed my ip camera and while inside the browser window, I just right clicked on the video feed and chose "Copy Image URL". Then I pasted that into a separate browser window and it started working just fine.
Secondly, mine has the ability to allow for guest access or require usernames and passwords. I disabled the username and passwords. I also allow for guest access to my camera. That was the only way it worked properly for me (I think). Otherwise, I think the login / security stuff is handled elsewhere. I may be mistaken though.
I also just viewed the manual for your camera. It has a similar layout to my camera's web interface. So you should be able to do what I said about right clicking on the video image and getting the URL.

Re: Cameras in Client Suite 3.0
I attempted to do this, got this value: "http://10.0.0.2:3462/image.jpg?cidx=2033376718." It would only let me do this on the static image of the viewing pane, once I put the video in motion, it would not let me right click. When pasted in a new window it was only the static image, not the video.binder wrote:Quick update.

I attempted to change some of the settings based on your advice and it looks like this now. It was normal, enable, and enable.binder wrote:Secondly, mine has the ability to allow for guest access or require usernames and passwords. I disabled the username and passwords.

It seems better now, I get a different error, anyway. It now says: "invalid content type."

This would be okay if I was only trying to view this tank from a browser but I really want it embedded in Dave's client app. I want to combine this feature with my 3 reefangel in the same house w 4 300g tanks question from another section. This guy recently contracted MS and can no longer care for this tanks and I am trying to design something to help him view the tanks, monitor them, still enjoy them from his chair.
My outside address is HTTP://69.250.225.122:3462 if you'd like to take a look. I'd appreciate any help you could provide. I do admit buying a cheap camera, willing to buy a better one if I have too. Thx in advance to all concerned.

Re: Cameras in Client Suite 3.0
I viewed the page to see what all I could do. One suggestion is going to be reduce the resolution down to the smallest (or smaller) size. Often times, the motion jpeg stuff works better that way. You could possibly choose how often to update/refresh the screen so it would update for you. It's probably going to require more experimenting to get it correct. I'll see what else I can find and you can do the same too.
Re: Cameras in Client Suite 3.0
That works good for me to refresh it. Nice job dave.

Client Suite 3.0 - New question
Along the same lines, but to a different point...
Is there an easier way to monitor multiple tanks\RA Units from the client application without running multiple copies? To preserve the logs and history recording it would seem not but wanted to ask.
Again, thx to all. Camera looks great. Has anyone tried any of the Hi-def cameras?
