I would like to bypass the login
screen of the camera and embed the live video stream directly into my
web site. How can that be done?
Live Stream
on your web page using ActiveX
Instructions for current camera 550710
For current camera 550710 only!
You can view the live stream of your
Network IP Camera without connecting
to the camera's login page first. That way it is possible
to embed the live video stream directly into your web page.
Basically you can find the solution in the source code of this
very web page. This is the portion of the HTML code which embeds
the live video. Simply copy and paste this code into your own
web page.
The
BLUE parameters have to be
adjusted to your camera. Those values are pretty much self-explanatory.
However, here're some additional comments for better understanding:
CameraIP:
Replace the IP Address by the IP Address of your camera
ImageWidth=320;
Controls the Video Width, needs to be changed in <object>
tag as well.
ImageHeight=240;
Controls the Video Height, needs to be changed
in <object> tag as well.
Id="guest";
Username required to login. If you have disabled the guest account
you will need to adjust the value here.
PassWord="guest"; Password required to
login. If you have disabled or changed the guest account you will
need to adjust the value here.
ImageTransferPort=8080;
Port 8080 is the default value. If you changed the image transfer
port of your camera in the network settings you need to enter
the new port number here. If you haven't changed anything
you must leave the default value.
maxFrameRate=30;
If you want to limit the bandwidth the camera uses you may reduce
the value here. "30" refers to the maximum frame rate
of 30 fps.
If you change that value to "2" then each visitor of
your web page would only receive a maximum of 2 fps (frames per
second).
Value "0.5" means: 1 frame every other second
Value "0.2" means: 1 frame every 5 seconds
Value "0.1" means: 1 frame every 10 seconds (example
above)
TimeStamp=true;
Display the
time top of the live image. "False" = no time.
Do not use Microsoft Frontpage
WebEditor to edit the page as it changes the code which may lead
to unexpected results.
