This is a utility for easier installation of cameras from a DVR.
Installation
On UI5 install it from the marketplace.
On UI4: see here.
How to use
In the Advanced tab of the plugin:
[ol][li]set the ip of the DVR;[/li]
[li]set the Ports of the cameras as a comma separated list;[/li]
[li]set the relative URL to get a Jpeg snaphot from a camera;[/li]
[li]set the Username and Password required to connect to the cameras.[/li][/ol]
Example: For a DVR with 3 cameras on ports 8081, 8082 and respectively 8083, the IP address 192.168.8.10, and the URL for a snapshot /img/snapshot.cgi, the parameters will be:
[ul][li]ip is 192.168.8.10[/li]
[li]Ports is 8081,8082,8083[/li]
[li]URL is /img/snapshot.cgi[/li][/ul]
The plugin will create a camera for each port in the list with the appropriate IP:Port pair and will use the parameters you set for this device.
Thank you mcv for your great effort!! You’ve been very helpful!
Unfortunately it seems that every step we give we find a problem…
So I’ve checked with the dvr and the snaps are indeed saved as *.BMP.
Started FF with firebug to find out that the dvr works with activex, meaning it only works with IE?
Tried to get the activex working with FF and installed a plug-in called IEtab (or something similar). It works but it seems to work like a IE windows inside FF. ??? I think firebug can’t capture the urls like this… but I might be wrong!
[quote=“garrettwp, post:9, topic:171507”]I can not find a manual for the dvr. You will need to try and find the image url for the cameras. Is there nothing in the manual?
Since I don’t wont to give up so easy I’ve been trying to find the url… ;D
And here what I’ve been getting: using the ip address of my DVR + port number + /cgi/jpg/image.cgi I get a white page (FF or IE) simply showing 3 letters - GEÿ
Anyone knows what’s the meaning of this? ??? Please ignore what it might sound… :
This plugin only makes installation of multiple cameras (that belong to a DVR) easier, it doesn’t offer support for DVRs. That being said, if you know the URL for a camera snapshot, then it’s possible the cameras will work. You could try installing a camera using these instructions and see if it works.
Dear,
I live in a condominium apartments and access the DVR laser areas of web-building. I can visualize the images of the DVR in your plugin?
