Network Camera View 4s Download
Shauncey Cedillo
One of the odd things about the IP cam viewer is that the connection to the IP camera is actually initiated directly from the Client itself, it is not relayed through the Gateway. This means that the Clients need network access to the IP camera itself. Could this be the problem in your case?
I am having more problems with the IP viewer as of late. It is now freezing on some clients and is not working at all on clients that it previously worked on. I am able to view the image through an internet browser form the client with no issues. Is there any troubleshooting I can do to find out exactly what is causing this. You mentioned permissions in your previous post but I am an Administrator and it is not working on my client but it did up until recently. There was a recent Java update to 20, I wonder is this causing the problem. I am using Factory PMI version 3.3.3 ( Build 3269)
I have tried a few things today and discovered that if I use Java version 1.6 update 4 the camera will work. Is there something I need to change in my project to use the newer version of Java. I would have developed the project initially on a machine with 1.6 version 4 on it.
I turned on the Console and I did not see any errors when I launched the Camera Viewer.
Here is the print out when the camera viewer is open
Version15.txt (1.51 KB).
I did notice that on the gateway status page it says that the Java version is 1.6_04. would this be what is causing the problem? Is there a way to update this.
I have also discovered that the camera viewer stops working at Java 6 V14. I was thinking about removing version 4 from the server and leaving version 20 only on the server and seeing if it would make any difference. Do you think this is worth while doing.
I have only one camera installed at the moment and it is an AXIS M1011. I Set up the URL following the guide for an AXIS camera in the help for IP Camera Viewer. I have the system up and running for about 5 months now. The camera was working ok on clients up until recently. If I remove all Java versions from a client and install version 1.6u 13 then the camera viewer will work ok but if I install a version above this it will stop working. This morning I did a test on my own desktop and laptop. I Cleared the Java cache, removed all old Java versions and installed the latest version 1.6u20 on both clients. The laptop will display the camera but the desktop will not. I get the following on the desktop in the camera viewer :Exception: Received HTTP 503: Service Unavailable. There would only be at maximum 3 clients accessing the camera at any one time. I am at a loss as to why this is happening. Thanks for the guidance on this problem.
I tested the camera today by opening it on 4 clients at the same time with no problems. I also opened the camera up on a web browser on each client at the same time to add more load to the camera with no issues. The clients were all running a Java version less than update 14 apart from my laptop which seems to handle the update 20 ok. I am at a loss as to what to do next. I will be updating to Ignition in the next few weeks so I will wait and see what happens then. This is a bit of a nuisance for me as I had planned to install a few more cameras in the production area. All I can do for now is to stop the automatic updates of Java and keep the version below 14 to guarantee it will work.
Hey there I am looking for an application to view our IP camera. We have a web interface, but it sucks and takes forever to load. I know there are several Windows options available, many of them even free. I have not had any luck finding one for Ubuntu though.
VLC has been the easiest way I've found for my super-cheap noname camera. I use the option to view a "Network Stream" and enter the feed URL for my camera. NOTE: This is NOT the web interface page to your camera.
different camera vendors have different formats for the rtsp links. There is no common format for the rtsp link and depends on your hardware manufacturers. But the basic requirements remains the same
Camera IP address
Username
Password
Note: The steps below assume you already have your IP camera installed and connected to a router with Internet access. HTTP://192.168.1.101 represents the IP address of the camera being accessed.
After you change the port, you will need to reboot the camera in order to save the changes. You can do that by going to SETTING > BASIC > System > Initialize and clicking Reboot.
This issue we are having is that the smartphones and tablets that use apps to view the security camera images have to be set for 192.168.2.199 when connected to the local network When we are not on the local network, they need to be changed to the IP address provided by the cable modem or the dyndns address that is assigned to that ip address. When they are connected to the local network, leaving them set to the cable modems address or the dyndns address results in a connection failure.
Some of the looking we have done says that this is caused by a NAT loopback issue and others say that this is normal and has to be changed each time. I am lost at this point since others i have spoken to about this problem do not have the issue with their equipment. They are able to leave the smartphones and tablets set for the external DNS or ip address and it resolves regardless of being on or off they wireless network.
I have port 554 open and forwarded to the camera I want to connect to. When I enter the RTSP address in VLC without the login credentials, I am prompted for them, so I know it is connecting on some level. However, once I enter the credentials, I receive no error, but also no video. I know the camera is working, because I can log into Zoneminder and see it.
Based on heavyd's response, I Googled RTSP streams to learn more about how they work. As far as I can tell, he is correct, the video comes back over UDP, but not over predictable ports. That explains why the client can receive RTSP video streams on the same local network, but not remotely. The control channel (port 554) connects, but the returned video packets were being dropped by the router.
My work-around was to install OpenVPN, using the Zoneminder box as the VPN server and the Raspberry Pi as the VPN client. Once that was setup and the VPN tunnel was established they were essentially on the same network again, eliminating my port problem.
I also had a similar problem in using a Chinese IP camera with Zoneminder.I have overcome the problem by using Xeoma app to find the correct streaming address.Sometimes my findings may be useful for you .The details are in this link here
TRENDnet's Indoor/Outdoor 4MP H.265 WDR PoE IR Bullet Network Camera, model TV-IP314PI, provides day and night surveillance with a night vision range of up to 30 meters (98 ft.). This network camera delivers year-round surveillance with an IP67 weather rated housing to withstand outdoor environments. Record up to 4MP HD video at 30 fps in a space saving H.265 compression format. View live video with included complimentary software and mobile apps.
Try out the Rapid Ring app, designed for the quickest access to live view. Please also ensure there are no VPNs enabled on the mobile device. As other neighbors suggested prior, testing wifi versus cellular data connection is another great step. I hope this helps!
Try accessing your camera from the web at ring.com. In my case, the floodlight cam works PERFECTLY on ring.com - Live View, recorded videos, you name it. The hardware is fine, the connection to the wifi is fine, and nothing changed from over the summer when everything worked fine.
Hi All- Ran into this same issue. Live view worked on my phone but not my pc. I chased it down endlessly with above suggestions. Turns out somehow my browser had lost permission to the mic and this prevents Live View from connecting. Cleared my browser settings, allowed it permission when it asked and fine since. SO. DUMB.
Sometimes you need something larger than a smartphone for watching security camera footage. Fortunately, it's easy to set up shortcuts on your smart TV and voice controls on your smart display. Here's a quick guide to watching security cameras on smart home displays.
Whether your security camera works with a smart display depends on the smart home platforms it supports. Most security camera brands work with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, but some are compatible with Apple and Samsung smart home gear. Here are some common smart displays and the smart home platform they're part of:
A brand listing compatibility for one model doesn't always translate to other models. Always check the manufacturer's product listing or app for your camera model to verify smart home compatibility (especially for older cameras).
Smart displays mainly use voice commands to show camera feeds but sometimes offer touchscreen controls. Activating a feed shows on your display for a limited time (a few minutes at most) before your smart display returns to standby mode.
Voice commands: It's easy to ask the smart display to show a video feed as long as you know the camera's name or location. For example, Arlo offers several ways to do this depending on the platform:
Don't expect the same functionality from the smart display as the camera's mobile app. While you should be fine viewing live video footage on most compatible devices, features like two-way audio, answering video doorbells, and watching recorded clips aren't always available.
If you have a compatible streaming device like an Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Google Chromecast, or Samsung Smart TV, you can use the remote or voice control to view your camera. Here's a quick rundown of things to keep in mind:
To pair the discovered network camera, use the DeviceInformation instance returned by the DeviceWatcher. Windows supports the following pairing ceremonies: Basic and Custom, as documented in the pair-devices documentation. To briefly summarize, Basic Pairing provides a simple method for pairing to cameras that do not require authentication to access the stream. The Custom Pairing mode should be used when more advanced control over the pairing is needed or if a camera will require authentication.
