The last such ethernet cameras I used also provided images via ftp. I think it was that if you read a file called fullsize.jpg via ftp you got the most recent such image. They also had an HTTP interface, but the ftp one was easier. Any chance of an ftp interface as well?
I doubt it, it's not mentioned in the manual. TCP, UDP, uPnP. It's worth a try - I don't know what the UDP-port is for either.
This camera also supplies the video as a series of JPEG (Motion-JPEG) - you just keep requesting the next one, and the effect is video :-)
I've now looked at the datastreams with tcpdump/windump, and they are _exactly_ the same. The output from the camera looks good. I've tried several different openSUSE desktops, from my old 10.3 to the shiny new 12.3. No luck.
I've set up external access (for a few hours):

I've just tried with wget from an external address - it works fine!!
If anyone tries the link above, I'd appreciate a short email off-line with the results.
I've switched off the port forwarding again. Many thanks to those who took the time to test this - much appreciated. I know now that my ip camera video can be seen in Denmark, in the UK and in Australia, but not on my laptop here in the office :-(
If anyone has been following this - I still don't know why the web-access only works from some places and not from others. I know the problem is truncation of the HTTP header, but I have not been able to find out why. Instead I wrote a tiny utility that is largely unconcerned with the correctness of the HTTP header, and with that I can now retrieve jpegs (Motion JPEG) from the camera at about 12fps at 640x320. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
