IP Camera on the Joggler?

ddichiera · Post by **ddichiera** » Tue Apr 17, 2012 4:07 pm

Has anyone managed to get an IP camera working on the Joggler?

I have a Dlink DCS-900 IP camera which woks fine to my desktop pc, but I can't get to display a picture or moving images on the Joggler.

The Dlink has a fixed IP which I can navigate to successfully using Opera on the Joggler, but it just displays a blank page (it should display a background, some menu items and a still image with a timestamp at the top) .

If I then put in the address for viewing Java images (192.168.1.XXX/Jview.htm) I can see the background and menu items of the page, but not the image itself.

All of this works fine on my PCs.

Any suggestions?

I don't think it should be any different on a Joggler.

What happens when you use opera on your desktop to access the camera ? It doesn't appear to be an issue with the Joggler seeing the camera, just the capabilities you have through Opera. This could be due to the security settings in Opera and what software your camera depends on (flash, java script etc)

Also, have you considered using one of the alternative OS's for the Joggler and try one of the browsers in there.

I've been using XUbuntu with Chrome and it works very well for the sites I access. As far as I can tell it is the same, if not better, than firefox I use on my desktop.

It has two sub pages, one for ActiveX and another for Java. I'm using the Java page.

Anyone know how to change the security settings for Opera on the Joggler? I've tried all the options I can find.

It sounds like this is more of an Opera issue.

I'm assuming your using the stock os on the Joggler or Plug & Pimp, and that is why you have Opera ?

If you try using one of the alternative OSs for the Joggler, you will have a lot more flexibility and be able to use the same browser as your desktop - so you could use say Chrome or Firefox under a Joggler Ubuntu or IE in a Joggler Windows.

I'm no Opera expert or have I had a lot to do with IP cameras.

Unless your using IE, activex, I think, isn't much use. With Java on your camera, is that full fat Java or Java script ?

Opera supports Java script, but if your camera needs full Java, then that will need to be installed as well on the Joggler and tested to work with Opera.

Well just for laughs, I had a go at playing with Stephen Ford's Ubuntu Netbook on a pen drive.

It has a very slick interface and I managed to get it working with wireless but not wired. It was fun, but not suitable for me.

The screen is just too small for me to be practical with touch.
It doesn't have SqueezePlay (can this be added in somehow?)
It still doesn't view my security camera. I tried adding in Java on both Chrome and Firefox, but that fails.

Yes, I bought three of these with Plug & Pimp already installed.

As far as I can tell, it just uses Java for the actual moving image part - the page appears, but sans video.

From what I can tell, it uses JS. Here's the code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function Init() {
if ((navigator.appName != "Netscape") &&
(navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Opera') == "-1"))
{
window.setInterval("ShowFrameRate()", 1000)
}
}

function ShowFrameRate() {
if (1)
{
var fFrameRate = cvcs.GetFrameRate()
window.status = "Frame:" + fFrameRate.toString() + " fps"
}
cvcs.GetRealTimeData()
CurrentTime.innerHTML = cvcs.GetTimeString()
}
</SCRIPT>

I use the Android OS and load the IP Camera Viewer app. Works great.

I've formatted my usb stick using image writer and the blank image, and put the torrent link into bittorrent, but there don't seem to be any seeders.

I've searched around and can't find a copy of the image anywhere else.

sorry to tell you but that page uses both JavaScript and Java and thats your problem. either ICS (see Jazzmod thread) or ubuntu to get that working

there may be ways around it by directly requesting the latest image etc but thats all very propriatory dependant on the camera

once they are flagged they will be removed as soon as an admin/mod comes on the forum.

unfortunately the cheap human labour that is used to defeat captchas and so forth makes it very hard to avoid such registrations.

Flagged how/by who?

Just next to the "Quote" button on each message there is a triangular icon with an exclamation mark. Clicking on this icon will report the post as dodgy. Buzz will then nuke it.
