Generic Ip Camera Software

[Chris]

Templatesare allowed in the URL fields, which can be used to select different images or parameterize the URL depending on the status of sensors. Template validity and network access are checked during the configuration steps.

The URL your camera serves the image on, e.g., :2112/. Can be a template. Usernames and passwords are allowed in the URL, but if none are provided, the Username and Password settings will be used during authentication. At least one of still_image_url or stream_source must be provided.

The URL your camera serves the live stream on, e.g., rtsp://192.168.1.21:554/. Can be a template. Usernames and passwords are allowed in the URL, but if none are provided, the Username and Password settings will be used during authentication. At least one of still_image_url or stream_source must be provided. Note that a stream_source without a still_image_url can only be used if the stream integration is configured.

I got a nice roof mount 360 camera, it has Http snapshot and h264 streams. Mitch mentioned there is a generic / test driver one can manually add the string into for C4 does anyone know the name or have it?

Managed to install and configure the IP Camera (fixed, with H264) Driver (dated 12/18/2014) and am able to get the rtsp stream displaying on Apple IOS Control4 UI for each camera My camera does not support Snapshot URL or HTTP MJPEG Stream - only support RTSP.

However when you use the UI to navigate from Security-->Camera there is a grid of all the cameras but all with a waiting circle spinning round and round. Is there anyway to configure this so that it uses the RTSP stream?

I'm using this generic IP driver for a Bosch Flexidome Camera at a client's house, and I've got the camera working fine, however the snapshot isn't working for the thumbnail when I'm in the cameras page. Any ideas on how to fix this? Or if it is possible? Thanks in advance.

Of course, right after posting this I tried a few more things and was able to get it working. For anyone having issues with the same thing, what I had to do was change the .jpeg snapshot URL to " :80/snap.jpg?"

Please share your experiences using generic batteries? Are they just fine, or will they wreck your camera? I am tempted to by cheap generics, but I do want some input from members on their experiences.

The truth is, some work, some don't and some are dangerous. Some Cameras need to know what the battery is doing and a lot of the off brands don't tell it. If you have a cheap camera, OK, but if you have an expensive camera why risk it? That's your decision.

My only third party battery experience wasn't a Watson but it was highly rated by reviewers. I needed a battery quickly for my 1D Mark II and my regular places were out of OEM battery stock so I took a chance . It charged and seemed to work OK until I tried to shoot some rapid bursts and it would cause the camera to lock up because the battery couldn't maintain required voltage under a sustained current load. Both of the batteries charged fine, held a charge, and would work OK for non-demanding work but since I shoot a lot of sports they weren't acceptable for my use. I can't remember the brand because I gave them away years ago to a friend who wasn't as concerned about camera performance. These were older NiMH batteries instead of the Li-ion batteries used in most cameras now.

Bottom line is I only use Canon batteries in my gear. Building batteries really isn't rocket science and they don't have to cost as much as Canon pricing but Canon does provide batteries which will meet their gear needs and quality standards. Given what I have paid for Canon bodies and glass, I am not going to try to save a little on third party batteries because the potential risk return tradeoff doesn't balance for me.

Although not common, be particularly careful with cheap and potentially poorly constructed lithium ion batteries because they can source incredible amounts of current for a short time which is what happens if they short internally and that results in a battery fire. Their peak power density is pretty amazing, that is why those tiny automotive "jump starters" can claim such high output levels. Generally Li-ion battery fires occur because of charger issues but clearances are tiny in those packs so poor materials or assembly can create big problems.

I've bought a few Wasabi batteries over the years and am pleased with their performance both in my 60D and some older model Canon cameras. But they were not the absolutely cheapest batteries available. I don't feel guilty about saving maybe 25% compared to the OEM batteries. But if they're any cheaper than that I wouldn't even consider them.

The reason someone makes a statement like, I only buy Watson, or, I only purchase from B&H, is because of the likelihood of getting inferior or dangerous batteries. That should be a clue but you do as you see fit.

Hi I read this article with interest, especially as I had alway wondered about buying a generic camera grip. I have purchased generic batteries and have not had your experience with them: I am still using them some 6 years later with no noticeable reduction in power. They were purchased from 7DayShop after recommendation from other photographers ( -compatible-canon-bp-511-bp-511a-bp-512-digital-camera-battery-twin-pack-DB02TWINPACK). Thanks for an informative article.

Thank you for your insight. I wish more than anything my off brand batteries worked. I did get a few years out of them but It was frustrating when I was shooting a timelapse over the weekend. :D And other photographer recommendations are the best.

Great question! I think there are some 3rd party products which are really great, especially when it comes to lenses, where Sigma produces some great quality lenses with their new Art series, better than canon does for the amount of money it is absolutely worth it. Battery grip and batteries for Cameras i had the same experiences. In the beginning you think its good quality but when using this stuff every day it shows some big problems, especially when it comes to batteries. If you buy cheep, you buy twice.
