Home Security Web Cam With Express?

Hi,
While owning three macs, I just now converted from a Linksys G router to the Airport Extreme. I have long wanted to set up a in-home, perhaps motion-sensitive web security camera. It occurs to me that I might get an Aiport Express and plug an ethernet cord from the Express to a camera (my Extreme is in an inappropriate location for a webcab setup). I do know that there are home security cameras that don't require a computer, but I was wondering if there was a better, Mac-based solution that might involve an Express.
Sorry for the naivete about these issues, and thanks for your responses!
Steve

why not just use a wireless cam? we've used two in the past with success. axis m1011-w (currently in use) and panasonic BL-C20A (a bit harder setup with mac). we use ben bird's security spy as the receiving software (running on our home-teater-mini) and cache the data to a remote HD connected as an air-disk to our AEBS. caching the video to a HD internal to the computer that is running SS is more seamless, but in a robbery situation, the computer would be stolen where as the HD/AEBS tucked away in a wiring closet would be ignored... so it least we'd have webcam video of the theft to enjoy at xmas parties and family reunions. the thing about the video feed is that is needs to be running to a machine that doesn't sleep or turn off. to my knowledge there's no mac webcam-setup that doesn't have to pass through the computer.

  • How do I use a usb web cam with MacBook Pro

    How do I use a web camera with a MacBook Pro?  I want to run it through my laptop so I can project it on a screen for teaching a class.

    You can try it, but probably not. 
    This Apple article http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2134 explains that a Firewire-connected, tape-based camera or camcorder mode will work.
    If you don't have access to one that works, a simple workaround is to record your video with QuickTimeX Player (the v.10.x one from Lion).  You can import that recorded video into iMovie for editing.
    If your Mac OS is earlier than Lion whose QuickTime does not offer movie recording as installed, use QuickTime7 Pro for recording.

  • Virtual Web Camera with JMF

    Hi
    I have tried to use virtual web camera with Java Media Framework.
    And what I wanted to point out why these are important is:
    We can use them as wireless web cameras and use with Java Media Framework
    Here we need two softwares
    1. softwares available to use our mobile phones as a wireless web cameras. ex- http://www.motvik.com/
    2. Softwares which acting as virtual web camera (comes with Windows Driver Model(WDM) driver)
    Once we installed both and completed the rest of the configuration. 1st software acting as a wireless web camera and the 2nd software detects the first software as a web camera. The important thing is it acting as a virtual web camera driver. Some of them even provide SDKs.
    So as they claim their provides WDM driver and supports all the VFW and DirectShow applications,([here is a one|http://www.e2esoft.cn/vcam/]) they must detect as capturing device by the JMF registry.
    But it is not.
    Can anyone please put some attention on this? Can any one please put some light?
    If I am wrong please correct me.
    Thank You
    Edited by: deshan on May 6, 2009 9:41 AM

    Hi captfoss thanx for answering.
    Actually my web camera(real one) is detected by JMF registry as vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32) : 0
    So as u said if it is not a must to detect the all the cameras I have to find the hardware ID of the virtual web cam driver. It is better to ask it from original developers. Also I am interesting to develop windows virtual web cam driver, So we have full access.
    So any body has tried this kind of application?

    If I am remembering correctly, some changes were necessary in order to make this work with 10.1.2.3. So, if you are using the old jar which you used in previous versions, I would recommend obtaining the one specifically updated for 10.1.2.3. Refer back to the OTN page which has the download and choose the link that references the new version:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/techlisting10gR2.html
    Be sure to clear the client Jar cache before re-testing. This is not the same as the browser cache.

  • Security web cam(s)

    Our family needs to "spy?" on a hanicapped mother to insure that she is safe (age 92). She won't accept "live in" help and insists on remaining in her own home until she "leaves us".
    QUESTIONS: Regardless of "privacy" issues, how can we set-up a web cam or several, so that we can check locations from our own computers to insure she's not fallen, is safe, etc. She would be aware of what we're doing. Can I use an old PM6400? An iMac 400 w/airport card? System 9.2? OSX2.8? I do have a basic .mac account. Can the web cam be password protected?
    I'm no "Techi" so if you can direct me to a good website or book, that would also be helpful.(At age 73 it's hard for me to keep up with you folks lately!)

    Your original posting is still here, right above my own.
    Still, the best place to ask is in a forum where people are using video cameras to accomplish things, rather than where people are designing complex web pages.
    Or a forum where people are accomplishing things with OS 9 rather than OS 10.4.
    The problem with using one of your old Mac's is finding the camera and software to work with it and give the kind of results you need. Do you already have a camera that fits your equipment?
    It doesn't matter what kind of machine the family members have if they will be looking at a webpage with the photo on it.
    For some mac programs that are used to send video to a webpage, see the list under Posting on this page:

  • Using web cam with a Mac Pro

    Hey All... Was hoping to get some pointers on get a web cam working on a mac pro so that I can use jabber to video chat from it. Any special brands that I would look at? Today at the local computer store looked like everything said yes to Windows but nothing mentioned OSX compatibility... Thanks for any posters

    I read recently that these USB video class devices now all work with OS X (though perhaps only with 10.4.10 or later) without the need for any software to make them work in iChat and PhotoBooth and apps like that.
    Of those cameras it seemed to me that the Microsoft Xbox Live Vision was both the cheapest and best looking so I bought one.
    It works perfectly and quite surprisingly doesn't look too bad either (the 'XBOX 360' logo is almost invisible). I was hoping to get a real iSight and was even prepared to pay the $300 they seem to go for these days but at the time I decided to get one I couldn't find any on Ebay or Amazon. I'd recommend the Xbox camera, it's easily good enough.
    Having said that, I don't think I've heard of any apps that enable video chat through Jabber with OS X (or any other OS from memory). Which app were you going to use? Please enlighten me...

  • Securing web services with Sun Access Manager

    Hi!
    I have gone through some documentation about Sun Access Manager, and I'm a little bit confused.
    What I want is to secure some web services which are deployed on a BEA WebLogic 9.1 server (WLS). Two solutions are possible: To install some kind of plugin into WLS or to place some kind of proxy in front of WLS. In both cases, the purpose would be to authenticate the caller based on some kind of ticket (SAML or similar) and authorize access to the web service.
    I have read about the "Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 for Weblogic 9.1" (those guys really like long names....), but in this documentation web services aren't mentioned at all. They only seem to care about HTTP requests from a browser.
    I have also read about the Policy Agent 2.2 in the documentation called "Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 Guide for Sun Java System Application Server 9.0/Web Services" (puh...). This document explicitly talks about securing web services the way I want.
    My questions are:
    1) Is it possible to secure WLS based web services in the same way using the Policy Agent for WLS?
    2) Are there any documentation/tutorials/etc?
    Thanks in advance :-)
    Anders

    what you need is a webservices agent that would enable you to "protect" your webservice provider, which I assume is on a BEA weblogic provider.
    the "Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 for Weblogic 9.1" is "NOT" awebservices agent, but a normal J2EE policy agent.
    So.. having said that. here's what I'd recommend.
    1. install the webservices agent on bea weblogic. (note: NOT the J2EE policy agent)
    2. configure it to use your access manager instance for authentication.
    3. configure your webservices client to use the webservice provider. (note: you'd need the webservices APi's available on the client too... so the quick dirty method would be to install the webservices agent on your client too....) you can later bundle the webservices client independently and provide your"customers" with a webservices client bundle...
    4. voila... your webservices are not "protected" by acces manager ;-)

  • Connect to Secure web service with certificate from SAP EP

    Hi Experts,
    Here is the current situation:
    1. Our business requirement is to connect 3rd party RESTful web service which requires secure connection with private client certificate attached
    2. I've tested in my Java test application and successfully attached private certificate to HttpsURLConection request to the web service and made a connection. No problem at all.
    KeyStore keyStore  = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS12");
    InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream("privateKeyCert.p12");
    keyStore.load(inputStream, "myPassword".toCharArray());
    KeyManagerFactory keyManagerFactory = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance(KeyManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm());
    keyManagerFactory.init(keyStore, "myPassword".toCharArray());
    KeyManager[] kms = keyManagerFactory.getKeyManagers();
    SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
    sslContext.init(kms, null, new SecureRandom());
    SSLSocketFactory sockFact = sslContext.getSocketFactory();
    URL url = new URL("https://www.thirdpartywebservice.com/testroot/");
    HttpsURLConnection conn = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
    conn.setSSLSocketFactory(sockFact);
    conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
    conn.setDoOutput(true);
    conn.setDoInput(true);
    conn.setUseCaches(false);
    conn.setDefaultUseCaches (false);
    conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/xml");
    3. Next, I tried to apply my Java application to SAP EP NetWeaver, and found that I have to use SecureConnectionFactory:
    https://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/e2/71c83edf72e16be10000000a114084/content.htm
    4. So, I modified my Java code for SAP EP:
    KeyStore keyStore  = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS12");
    InputStream inputStream = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("privateKeyCert.p12");
    keyStore.load(inputStream, "myPassword".toCharArray());
    SecureConnectionFactory scFactory = new SecureConnectionFactory(keyStore);
    HttpURLConnection conn = scFactory.createURLConnection("https://www.thirdpartywebservice.com/testroot/");
    conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
    conn.setDoOutput(true);
    conn.setDoInput(true);
    conn.setUseCaches(false);
    conn.setDefaultUseCaches (false);
    conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/xml");
    And I'm facing the following error message:
    Exception: java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: ja
    va.security.GeneralSecurityException: Unable to decrypt private key: javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Invalid PKCS#5 padding length: 253
    Could you please help me what this error message means?
    Do you think do I need to to do some other configuration to make connection to web service with client certificate?
    This is our first approach. Please help...
    Thank you in advance.

    SunJSSE implement SSL server CertificateRequest in a strict mode, if client failed to find a proper certificate corresponding the server request, it does not guess what's the proper certificate and send to the server. In your case, because there is no intermediate certificate in the client context, so there is no way to make the decision which certificate would be acceptable by server, so client does not send any cert to server. That's why you got a handshaking error.
    I guess your client key store does not contains a full certificate path from the client end-entity certificate to the root CA. Please import the full certificate path into the key store.
    BTW, these approaches should work, but I found no reason why one does not adopt #1:
    1. import the full certification path of client certificate into client key store.
    2. as a workaround, configure the server to send a list including the intermediate certificates;
    3. as a workaround, you will have to customize the client KeyManager if you don't want to or are not able to configure the server to send a list including the intermediate certificates.

  • How to use same web cams with jmf?

    Hello, I'm doing a project with netbeans 4.1 and I need to use two webcams,the same model web cams.The problem is that jmf only detects one of this. I read that if you open two jmfStudio you can use two cams but I want do this programming in java.
    Somebody have any idea?
    Thanks for all

    Hello,
    Maybe you have already solve your problem...I think you could use something like this:
    Vector deviceListVector;
        deviceListVector = CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(null);
              if (deviceListVector.size() == 0)
                   System.out.println("I can't find devices");
                   System.exit(0);
              if (deviceListVector == null)
                   System.out.println("I can't find devices");
                   System.exit(0);
              for ( int x = 0; x < deviceListVector.size(); x++)
                   CaptureDeviceInfo deviceInfo = (CaptureDeviceInfo) deviceListVector.elementAt(x);
                   String deviceInfoText = deviceInfo.getName();
                   System.out.println(deviceInfoText);
              }In this way you can see which devices are conected. I don�t know if it will be useful. :)

  • Using Web camera with Yahoo

    My granddaughter and her children wants us to get on line with our WEB cameras so that we can talk. She uses Yahoo and sent me an invite to join her group, which I did. Last night we went on line and I could access her on camera, but she could not access me.
    After reading everything, and looking at the FAQ it appears that I must take steps to set up a web camera program. I would like to use the in line sight camera that is part of this computer, also a part of the lap top. I have not been able to find the instructions on how to make the camera active for web chatting with the Yahoo program.
    Can any one help me out???

    Hello Fred,
    Judging by the Yahoo! Messenger for Mac page, it doesn't appear that you can talk and use the video at the same time:
    http://messenger.yahoo.com/features/webcam/
    "A webcam (web camera) allows you to share live video images of yourself (or things near you) while you are instant messaging with a friend..."
    Instant messaging being the same thing as text typing to each other. If you want to have a true video chat with your granddaughter, you would both be best off using [Skype|www.skype.com].

  • Using a web cam with an E-MAC

    I want to buy a web cam for use on my grand kids e-mac with skype. Is it possible and what type should I buy (they have hi-speed DSL access)
    Thanks, Don

    Keep in mind that the 10.4.9 OS X update enabled USB webcams to be used with iChat. However, not any webcam will work. It has to be what's known as a "UVC" webcam, which basically stands for "USB Video Class" Basically a standard for streaming video.

    There's a list of webcams that should work on your Mac. Ironically the XBox 360 Camera is one of them.
    Personally, I've used the Quickcam Fusion before and the quality as at or possibly above what the iSight offered.
