video surveillance

[massimiliano comunale]

Hello everyone

I would like to create my own app to view my cameras that I have installed at home, but since they are all set with passwords, could you kindly tell me how to do it when I open a camera and give the password automatically without having to enter it?

Let's say that I saved the password in TinyDB and extract it from there how do I insert it to make it recognize the camera?

I hope I was the clearest possible.

I thank everyone for the help.

How does the url look like that you have to use? For instance when you view from your browser. 

Sometimes it looks like this:

http://username:pass...@www.my_site.com

If this works in your browser on your pc you can also use this url in a webviewer.

Thanks so much for your reply.
I only enter IP address and http:
192.168.1.16:80
It is when I do it says more that it is protected by username and password.
In the address bar I never noticed but it seems to me that the link you mentioned does not appear.

[Peter Mathijssen]

Your ip address is local so within your own network. Didn't you get information how to access it from the outside? 

You can test it within your own network with 

http://username:pass...@192.168.1.16:80 where you put your username and password in the right places.

[massimiliano comunale]

That is, instead of username, should I put the username and password instead of the password?

[Peter Mathijssen]

Yes.

You are really kind in helping me, I will try as you suggested,
I have to ask you one last thing, is there any way that when you open the app you can find the router's external IP?
Because if the line falls then the IP changes and the ipcamera is no longer reachable

[Peter Mathijssen]

what is the name and model of the ip camera you have? i don't know how it works from the outside. Is there something in the documentation about that?

[TimAI2]

Sounds like you need to manage your dynamic dns

Something like this: https://www.noip.com

[massimiliano comunale]

The brand is sv3c externally it works like all the others.
I already use an XMeye App to see the ipcamera and when the line falls and goes back up by itself it goes to get the cameras without me having to reset the ipcamera and I can't understand how it looks

[massimiliano comunale]

TimAI2 I entered the ipcamera and I have all ddns disabled so I don't think it works with a ddns but now I would like to see in the NVR because the XMeye App connects with it but even on the NVR I never set the Ddns yet outside the home I grant ipcamera quietly

[massimiliano comunale]

Thanks for the help given so far as you advised me I can enter but I would like to ask you one last thing.

Doing so I get the html page of the camera while I would like to see the video of the camera directly how can I do?

[Peter Mathijssen]

How does the sourcecode of the webpage look. Can you post the html? 

[massimiliano comunale]

Then going to the html page where I see the video of the camera and extrapolating the link of the video I have this:

rtmp: //192.168.1.100: xxxx / flash / 12: username: password

Carrying it both on VideoPlayer1 and on Web1 nothing I see nothing web1 gives me a page error

Instead if I link this to vlc I see the camera

[Peter Mathijssen]

I think the rtmp protocol is not something that is recognized by the webviewer of App Inventor. The webviewer is not a full browser. 

[massimiliano comunale]

Ah ... And not even from the VideoPlayer?

Have you tried opening that URL with an Activity Starter?

Open the browser to a Web page

Use these activity starter properties to open a specific web page:

Action: android.intent.action.VIEW
DataUri: http://news.google.com

from https://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/activity-starter.html

Maybe Android will recognize that

rtmp: //192.168.1.100: xxxx / flash / 12: username: password

in the DataUri ?

[massimiliano comunale]

Can you give me a visual example please because with activity starter I am not very practical

[ABG]

For examples, see the Activity Starter section of FAQ

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/mitappinventortest/wqJin0qO8M0/8xUafdROAgAJ

But in DataUri do I have to inherit the rtmp path?

[ABG]

I searched this board for rtmp, and got

https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!searchin/mitappinventortest/rtmp%7Csort:date

The only person who came close to success was Peep Prants, and

he needed an add-on app to be present to service the Activity request.

I guess the link is no longer effective because it doesn't open anything for me
