I have a Gadspot N1250 IP camera which is directly connected to my local network.
My HTC is also connected to the same network which means there is no firewall between 2 devices.
I am trying to access the camera's video stream through my HTC Hermes.
I can access the administration web page of the camera with URL :
http://192.168.254.25
I can login through that page but the camera view does not show up.
On PC, after logging in I can see the Video stream with an ActiveX component which is directly installed to my IE over the cam's web page.
I can also reach the IP cam video stream using VLC player with a URL like:
rtsp://192.168.254.25:554/video.mp4
But neither with Pocket IE , nor with Pocket Media Player I couldn't reach following urls:
rtsp://192.168.254.25:554/video.mp4
http://192.168.254.25
I am looking for any solution (new software, URL) to reach the IP cam.
Can anyone advise me what to do ?
Thanks.
It also works through Windows Media Player with URL:
rtsp://192.168.254.25:554/video.3gp
But I still could not find a URL for WM6.
Any guess ?
Hi!
I have a N1250 wireless IP Camera, however after installing it, I have a black screen when running it with IE6 (Win XP ScePK2) and typing the Cam IP address on the address bar.
I allowed/enabled all the active x scripts on Tools/Options IE, but it is still a very nice black screen!!. I'm using a wireless router Linksys.
As a note the active x that came with the cd was already installed.
I tried FireFox and Netscape, but they seem to be worse: there is no camera screen at all! all the page is white.
So what to do next??
Anyone has an idea??
do you see it on PC ?
I mean where is the blank scren problem ?
On PC or on HTC ?
HTC Video Ip cameras
Mrmrmrmr,
Had the same issue a while years back. We internally needed to see different cameras , behind firewalls , multiple locations, password protected,corporate VPN's, PTZ etc. So we built it into a product that did more than just cameras, but it was for internal use only.
We have finally recieved the ok to release the camera only version. The geeks in this group get to help this community out.
This release will always have a free IP camera input. One to see your favorite petcam, your childs daycare center, your favorite beach cam, your home/office security IP cam etc.

Please let us know if this helps. Also which phones you had good success with or tested it with.
Thx
Thanks; I will try this asap.
Hi L4z3r,
I'e tried your software but it seems that it does not have support for my camera.
I use a Gadspot N1250 which supports mjpeg but I couldn't connect to the camera neither by http://192.168.254.25 nor http://192.168.254.25/index2.htm
I also tried rtsp link to the cam but nothing happened.
interestingly, the software does not pop up any error messages.
Just nothing.
On HTC P3450 doesn't work and with the complete url too

The URL needs to be the full URL to the image location itself and not the page that it appears on, sorry for any confusion. The README should contain the appropriate steps, but basically go to the page on your computer where the JPG or MJPEG stream is viewable, right click the image and select properties. This should bring up a information box with the full url of the image (should in .jpg, .mjpg, or something similar; although I have seen it as a .cgi but I had to view the page source to find that one, .cgi usually lets you pass parameters such as video size you want it). But if it's not a Axis or Panasonic, you will need to enter the full URL of the image location, select "Other" for camera manufacture, and make sure it's the appropriate stream type (MJPEG is handled differently than JPEG). If it is an Axis or Panasonic, please do not enter the image location, just do the IP or DNS name (192.168.0.100 or yourdnsname.com:8080 (this is how you do a camera who is set up on a different port than the standard 80)).
I have seen a problem with larger images, like ones that are ~640x480 or larger. rollins2, if you could let me know what type of camera you are using, I can try to help more. Plus if we see a lot of demand for a type of camera, we may be able to add support for it.
Hope this helps, and please do read the README, it has some helpful tips on getting started with the app.
In case anyone is still interested, I also have a gadspot camera N1250 and was trying to figure out running it on my cell phone for years. I had a second kid born this week and put up the camera in his room and finally was able to stream it and view still images from my nokia phone. The still images are ran with the standard phone web browser. However, the streaming is running via realplayer that was included with the phone, using your method similar to rtsp://192.168.254.25:554/video.3gp.
I think any phone with a realplayer will be able to play the streaming video since it usually works with windows.
That being said, the above method does not work on Windows Media Player for some reason, however, I am fine streaming with EI.
Moved you over from rom dev to software.
Peace

I have a Nokia E71. How do you call that URL from the phone ?
what about user authentication ?
I was wondering if anyone here knows of an app that will take pictures with the camera at set intervals? Preferably while running in the background...
I'm going to use my HD2 for navigation in my car tomorrow, and my car holder has a hole for the camera.
Just thought it'd be nice to capture the road/scenery every X minutes.
Extra bonus if it could auto-upload via FTP...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7256072#post7256072
It can store locally, or send the pics to an ftp server.
Thats a good use for it actually!
Also there is an app called camera timer it does exactly what you ask
here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=787225&postcount=2
sorry not the one i was thinking of i will search my pc later as a app exists
Thanks
but tinyCAM won'r run on (all?) HD2.
Do you still have that app you were going to search your PC for?
Apparently Hulu would come out with an app. Can a hack be developed so that people outside of US can view stuff on the app, somewhat on the lines of Market Enabler?
that would be really cool!
i assume hulu simply checks your IP address server side? if that's the case you're SOL. unless you find a good proxy maybe? a very good one
i know orbot works for pandora, i figure it could be the same deal with hulu? i might try it out
Not sure if this solution will work on Android lower than Android 2.3.3 as not tested.
As you know, the Linksys WVC54GC uses a Microsoft mp4 video stream not supported in apps such as the great IP Cam viewer.
But if you are a cheapskate like me, and you dont want to just throw it away, here is a simple solution to use it...
Set up your camera on your network without user access passwords (admin passwords still OK)
Install MoboPlayer (may work with other players such as RockPlayer lite but again not tested... Try it and Report in this thread!!)
Go to Internet Browser and type in (your.cam.address/img/video.asf)
You will get a pop-up asking to play online or download, select Play online, then another may come up asking which program to use if you have more than one video player installed, select MoboPlayer (or the one you want to try). If you get the working image, the next time you select the video player, you can tick the bottom box to use this by default.
If you save the initial address as a bookmark in the Internet Explorer (long press on it in history), you can even put a shortcut on your home screen to give a direct connection to the camera from now on...
Enjoy.
Linksys WVC54GC camera on iphone solution found!
I've been able to successfully use my two old wvc54gc cams using an app called "Oplayer" by Jonathan Young.
I simply typed in the url _ttp://X.X.X.X/img/video.asf or _ttp://username[email protected]:1024/img/video.asf and it will buffer to almost 100% percent before it starts viewing, takes me about 10-15 seconds to load, and can live with it.
I found another solution using an app called "orb live" but is a bit teadous and prefer using Oplayer.
Hope it helps those still hanging on to those devices are wish to pull them out of the closet .
I would like to create an Android app that can view the stream from an IP camera. Basically all it will need is a settings screen where you can set the IP address for the stream that you'd like to view and another screen that shows the camera stream. I won't need to worry about any pan/tilt/zoom functionality.
I'm quite new to all this and I was just wondering what resources I'd need to look for? I've had a play with the App Inventor tutorial but I'm not sure if I can get it to do what I want without further knowledge.
Is there anyone that could give me a nudge in the right direction?
Thanks in advance for your help.

personally i use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rcreations.ipcamviewer&feature=search_result for all my cameras at my house. not sure if this is what you were looking for or if you wanted to have an app built that does the same thing?

It's for the company I work for, we'd want an app that would show the stream from our camera. I said I'd look into creating a simple app that would have the company logo and info in it. I've looked at IP Cam Viewer and other apps for an idea of what you can get done.
I don't suppose anyone is able to help me with this? I thought it might be a long shot!
