Outdoor security camera system Ipad?

I'm looking for a fairly cheap outdoor secuirty camera system with (1) camera that I could add additional cameras to later? Can anyone recommend one that is Ipad, Iphone compatiable and I can buy locally? I'm looking for one that will record somehow and I can also look on my Ipad and watch the camera? Thanks!

We're just users here, so I'm not sure if you thought you were writing Apple directly, but since we're not, I don't have a clue where you are and would have no idea what you can buy locally.
I did find this link in Google and thought it might help you...........

Video Surveillance - Security Camera System

Hi,
Wondering if anyone knows of a MAC compatible system or option... I have searched the forums but can't find anything specific to what I want. I have found capture cards and software for my PC... but I want it for my MAC, mainly because I like the stability of my G5 over my PC...
thanks in advance for any help!

Hi jagered-
I've actually been pondering putting my dp2.7 G5 to work as the security monitor. There are some folks that claim to have fairly elaborate systems set up this way.
Depending upon the interface of the camera, you can get USB and FireWire PCI cards with 4-6 ports on each card. If the cameras are wireless that can work as well. There are also wired and wireless internet cameras that might fit the bill.
I have this Windows program that came with a DLink camera I bought that monitors up to 4 wireless cameras. I've used it with two cameras myself. Most of the little web-cams on the market have some kind of built-in web-server that makes for far simpler video uploads to a networked Mac.
My experience with any setup is that wireless is an overrated feature for a camera and going with something wired, if possible, is always preferred.

TS3798 Using the iphone 4s i am using safari to try to open a web address for a security cam system and it says server not found. Using wifi at home....what does this mean??

Iphone4S - trying to connect to a webpage via safari and it says cannot find server. Help.

I have noticed this. One time it crashed when using a video app such as VLC, and another time when changing desktops between an app playing a video and say Skype or Google Chrome (I can't be sure which).
Here's some more information about my Mac if it helps:
Operating System: OS X 10.9.2 (Mavericks) 13C64
Model: Apple Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro 15"
Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16GB 1600MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel Iris Pro 1024MB
I've noticed that my case is similar to some people's in this thread.

Can't watch security camera feeds in Safari

I got a Security Camera system, I can watch the video feeds from the computer just fine (thru Safari), but when I try to check it in the iPhone, using Safari, I can see the interface (it's a website) but none of the videos show up.
The videos are in Quicktime, which is weird, I should be able to see them in the iPhone. What could be wrong?

First: Settings>Safari>Plug-Ins, are yours on?

Re: Lorex Security Camera with Linksys WRT320n Setup Help

I setup a Lorex security camera system that allows for to view them via remote acces. I am able to view them through the local network but not via outside network connection. I believe lies within the network settings that i have in place. I have tried to apply the port forwarding settings but still not able to. If someone has this type of system setup or know where to point me I would appreciate the help. The default web port is 80 and the TCP port 6100.

1) I assume that you have set your security camera to a fixed (static) LAN IP address -- is this correct?
2) And that you are forwarding the appropriate port to that address -- is that correct?
Rules for using fixed LAN IP addresses on Linksys routers:
With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer , printer, or camera, not in the router. This is the best way to assign a fixed LAN IP address. In your WRT320N, there is an alternative method --- you could use the "DHCP reservation" method to assign your camera the same fixed LAN IP address each time you boot up your network.
When using a Linksys router, normally, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255. However, if you are using "DHCP reservation" your camera's address should be within the DHCP server range.
Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would normally need to be in the range of
192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
assuming you are still using the default DHCP server range.
Also, in the computer, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 and "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1
It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.
Also note that many cameras cannot use the proxy DNS server located at 192.168.1.1 . In this case, enter your true Internet DNS server address (found in the router) into you camera.

WIFI Security Camera's that can be monitored from my Macbook and iPhone4

I'm looking to purchase wifi security cameras that I can monitor from my Macbook and iPhone4. Can anybody tell me what the best camera is and what App. is the best to monitor from my iPhone4. Also, how would I set up my Macbook for monitoring. I'm new at this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

You usually don't need an app or any software loaded on the phone/computer you are using to view the feed from IP cameras. You go to a web-site set up by the manufacturer, enter your user name and password and you see the picture through the web-browser.
However, check that the system you buy does not use Flash to send the pictures otherwise you won't be able to view them from an iPhone or iPad (but it will be fine on your MacBook).

How can I view and convert .264 files from my security cameras for use on my Mac and the web?

My security cams record in a .264 file format HD. I want to view, edit, etc on my Mac, what software will do that and are there any easy tips to do this? I'm new to Mac's so I'm not sure what is the best format to convert to? mp4? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance. I do love the Mac so far.

I have downloaded the trail....and it won't recognize my .264 files....not sure what the deal is? Here is a screen shot-they files are "grayed" out....and won't highlight. Do you see anything wrong? I'm pulling the files off of a Lorex DVR security system. LHD200

Port Forwarding for Security Cameras

I have a Cisco RV220W that I am trying to set up to view the store security cameras remotely. I can view the cameras when connected to the LAN but not with a WAN connection. The Video recorder is an ADT system.
Always Allow
RTSP:TCP
Enabled
Any
192.168.0.24
8016
Always Allow
RTSP:UDP
Enabled
Any
192.168.0.24
8016
The port is the viewing port for the DVR. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
I have looked into the RTSP standard, and it looks like the default ports are 554 for TCP and UDP. Since it looks like your cameras are using a different port, you may want to try creating a custom service for 8016 externally, since the default rule is currently translating 554 to 8016. Of course you can also try connecting to the cameras with the public IP and port number 554, that should work with your current setup.
However if you are unable to change the port your client software uses, definitely try creating a custom service for 8016. You may also want to double check that the camera has the RV set as it's default gateway.
Hope that helps,

What changed in Firefox versions 15,16 & 17 while viewing network security cameras?

I have been viewing my network Axis security camera's over my local area network for years with Firefox. After update version 15, I can only view the image for a few seconds before I have to reload the page because the image will disappear. The camera's server stays up, but the video image is gone, and telling me to reload page. After a reload it comes back in. Sometimes it will only last 5 sec's, other times between 30 & 60 sec's. If I downgrade to version 14.0.1, it all works fine like it should again. Am I doomed to use this version now forever? Or is there a way to tweak the newer version to let me view the video image longer?
Camera's video image is in Motion JPEG format and I have the latest Java & flash installed. I also have tried Firefox with all plugins disabled and it still don't help. I have 64 bit Windows 7 for operating system.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

How to get video of more than one security camera in java

I want to get video from more than one security cameras and i really donot know yet how we do this that get videos continously with more than one camera
olz i a beginner help me

Hello.
I don't know if the topic still matters, but as I took advantage from the information in the preview posts, I decided to give my share.
I successfully ran three webcameras at the same time in a Linux machine with JMF.
The two main issues are:
1. It is necessary to run the binary "jmfregistry" ($JMFHOME/bin/jmfregistry) to detect the cameras every time a new one is added to the system. (Remember to run the binary with a user with write privileges on the registry file ($JMFHOME/lig/jmf.properties)).
2. It is mandatory to plug each camera in a different usb bus. In my case, the PC I was using had three accessible two-ports buses, two in the rear and one in the front of the box. If we try to use two cameras in the same bus, one of them won't work or the detecting procedure in the "jmfregistry" program will hang.
I hope it helps. Any question, please feel free to ask.
Andr� Braga
My configuration:
Java:
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_01-b06)
JMF-2.1.1e_linux_native
The machine:
OpenSuse Linux version 10.2 (kernel 2.6.18.2-34-default)
running in a Celeron D processor 2.66 GHz
Motherboard: Giga-byte GA-8IPE1000 Pro2 motherboard (865PE)
The result of the "lsusb" command:

In time (for linuxers): It was necessary to download and install the gspcav driver (http://mxhaard.free.fr/). It is also necessary do load this driver before the camera driver:
modprobe gspca
modprobe zc0301 (this one comes with the distribution)

Wireless security cam

hi,
I am planning to install several wireless security cams at home, and the one from linksys seemed a good choice to me.
I am looking for a specific feature that I am not able to find any explanation on. In the features I see that I am abe to watch live immages remotely, and record those live images. What I am also looking for, is that the system can automatically takes and record immages, even when I am not connected to the cam. assumethat there is a stranger in our house, I wantthose images t be recorded at a later stage so that I can see who has been there.
Is that possible with the linksys cam?
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Koen

Yes,using the motion detection feature on the linksys camera it is possible...Some good linksys camera are WVC54GC,WVC54GCA,WVC80N.

Wireless webcam / security cam for use with Intel iMac

Hi all. I want to set up an outdoor web/security cam and a wireless model would be ideal, as I want to be able to put it in different locations.
There seem to be many PC-compatible wireless cameras, but are there any which are compatible with the Mac OS? I don't really want to get into Boot Camp / Parallels territory if possible.

Hi Robin

I am trying to open some *.avi files in quicktime, they are from my security camera at home. It will not open them, would anyone be able to help me? It says I need a plugin but it does not tell me which one.

Basically your player is telling you that you need to install the codecs that will play the compressed data within the AVI file.
AVI is a legacy file container in which the tracks of data are interleaved to maintain synchronization. This data can be encoded using many different audio and video codecs. Your problem is to determine which codecs you need for the player you are trying to use and install them if they are available. Failing that, your will either have to play the files in a different player which has the codec support your require built into the app or convert the content to a compression format that is natively compatible with the player you wish to use.
Since you have not stated what platform, operating system, and particular player you are targeting for playback, it is difficult to provide precise instructions for fixing your specific problem at this point. Suggest you try alternative players compatible with your system and platform to see if they will play the files, use a dedicated media information utility to determine the codecs needed for playback, or post a sample file for analysis.

Monitoring a security camera

Have you had experience connecting a security camera at home and monitoring it through Safari? My home configuration is a Mac Pro hard-wired to a router, though the router is also wireless. Ideally the camera would establish a wireless link to the router. While away from home, I'd like to be able to open a browser window into the camera, using my Macbook Pro. I have no iSight camera on the Mac Pro at home. Though less convenient, I could attach a camera to the Mac Pro through some port. Thanks!

(1) If you want to shop for one of the widely available dedicated internet security cameras, be sure that both the hardware and the software that is bundled with it are compatible with your internet service, router, Mac, and Mac OS version. If you ask, the seller should be able to guarantee compatibility or explain exchange privileges before you buy.
(2) If you want to use a webcam operated by your Mac Pro, see this link for camera possibiities:

and this link to find some webcam/surveillance/nanny cam apps that may do what you want:

EvoCam is one of the more popular apps that let you monitor security via an internet browser like Safari. Security Spy is another, but it currently has a know issue with the Safari browser when running Snow Leopard. Security Spy's download page lists certain other browsers are compatible now. Regardless of which app offers the features you want, carefully review System Requirements and compatibility info in their web pages for current status.
