WVC54GC and VLC (how to succefully view the cammera using linux and MAC

Hi all,
I have recently purchased a WVC54GC, i'm still trying to find out how to grab stills.
Here is however a better way to view the video without using IE and the expired activeX.
Download VLC for your favourite OS at:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
open it, and go to File->Open Network, and type
your_cammera_ip/img/video.asf
in the HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/MMS box.
have fun,

For anyone else who stumbles across this, I can confirm that you CAN use this camera under OS X or Linux with both VLC and MPlayer. The trick is that neither VLC nor MPlayer knows how to prompt you for a username and password if you restrict access to the camera to only certain users (which explains why it seems to work for some people and not for others.
I posted full details of how I configured and connected to the camera from OS X at http://www.jasonkohles.com/writings/wvc54gc-osx-linux, but here is the nutshell version...
There are two URLs that this camera can provide video from:
http://camera.address/img/video.asf and
http://camera.address/img/mjpeg.cgi
They both work in VLC and MPlayer just like that (except for putting in the real address) IF you allow access to the video to everyone. If you have created usernames and passwords to restrict access to the video, VLC and MPlayer don't know how to prompt you for that information, so you have to provide it in the URL, like so...
http:// username : password @ camera.address /img/video.asf
OK, I gave up trying to get the forum to not turn a colon and a p into a smiley face, so just remove any spaces from that url...Message Edited by jasonkohles on 01-18-200701:38 PM

  • How can I view the devices using my cell number to receive texts?

    My family has a lot of devices and they all use my apple ID which allows texts to go to all the devices because its registered in my apple id. I think my texts are going to other devices but i dont know which ones. Is there a way to see this without having the device just so i can see a list that is using my cell phone number.
    I know how to turn it off but when i do it want to make sure its all of the devices that are turned off from my texts. Also is there any way to make sure that only my phone gets the texts?

  • After downloading a pdf from a website, how can I view the file in Safari 6.0.4 (just as I can in Safari 5.0.6)?  I bet that it's simple, but I've missed something, somewhere, and a solution will be greatly appreciated.

    After downloading a pdf from a website, how can I view the file in Safari 6.0.4 (just as I can in Safari 5.0.6)?  I bet that it's simple, but I've missed something, somewhere, and a solution will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Kirk,
    Thank's for your efforts, and I just wish that this was the solution.  Unfortunately, it isn't because, after double-clicking on the pdf in the website, it simply "opens" in another Safari window as a black screen - the pdf is there, somewhere, but not visible (either as an icon, or as a document). 
    When I right-click in the black Safari window, where the file is supposed to be, the only option available to display the file is to "Open file in Internet Explorer" (which is not what I want to do).  Other options include saving or printing the pdf, which I don't want until I've confirmed that it's the form that I want.  The same options are offered if I right-click on the file icon in the website.
    Any other suggestions, please?

  • How do I view the photos ? I backed up with iPhoto closed as is recommended , when I enter time machine and click on iPhoto library is calculates there is 11gb so photos are there when I click on view using iPhoto nothing happens ????

    how do I view the photos ? I backed up with iPhoto closed as recommended but when I enter the Time Machine and click on iPhoto library it calculates there is 11gb in there so files must be present but when i click on open with iPhoto nothing happens ? any help welcome please !!??

    The external hard drive must connect to your Mac using a USB or FireWire connection.
    Note that the hard drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to work correctly with the iPhoto Library and be backed up to the Time Capsule and with the backups of your Mac.
    We are really talking about iPhoto uses here, so you should post in the iPhoto Support area for more details about this. The link is just below.

  • How can i view the items i copied in my time capsule and back it to my mac.

    Hi everybody, sorry for my bad english, i´m from Mexico City, i bought the time capsule only for used it like a backup, i made all the steps through time machine and all seems very well, but i don't know how can i view the items i copied and back it to my mac.
    Please Help Me.

    I assumed that you are using Time Machine to make backups to your new Time Capsule (TC) ... correct? If so, then you would normally use the Time Machine interface to locate files that have been already backed up.
    For example, let's say that you had a document in your \Documents folder. For some reason you deleted this file, and then, decided that you still needed it. The "normal" process to retrieve it would be to open the \Documents folder in a Finder window on your Desktop ... then open the Time Machine interface. Once opened, you will be presented with not only that folder, but as many versions of that folder as the number of times Time Machine backed it up. Using the forward/backwards (in time) arrows, you would move to a folder that has the recently deleted file. From there you can easily retrieve the file.
    For more information on how to use Time Machine, either use the built-in help or check out this Apple Support article.

  • How do I view the height and width of an image as I adjust the crop handles

    How do I view the height and width in pixels of an image as I adjust the crop handles before I actually crop the image?

    If you are in Photoshop CC, go into Preferences, click Interface, and turn on Show Transformation Values. In the picture below, setting it to Top Right means the pixel height and width appear to the Top Right of the Crop tool pointer.
    (Edit: The picture only shows Height because the bottom edge is being dragged. If a corner was being dragged it would say H and V.)

  • How do I view the list of wireless routers my ipad has successfully authenticated with, and if possible when the last connection to each was made?

    How do I view the list of wireless routers my ipad has successfully authenticated with, and if possible when the last connection to each was made?

    The information is of course stored on the device, but currently thee is no way to get to it. It is unknown whether iOS stores the date info for each connection.
    As to whether a program can be written, its likely it can, but unlikely it can be done by anyone other than Apple, as by design, 3rd party Apps are not allowed to core system functions like that so its unlikely any App could list your connection history.
    As has been said to remove a single connection from the iPad you need to be in range of it, tap the circle on the right side of the router name, and then tap on Forget this network.

  • How can I view the size of a particular event in iPhoto '11?

    How can I view the size of a particular event in iPhoto '11? The 'Get Info' option is not displaying the size of the event like it used to in iPhoto 8.

    But the event does not really have a size - you can export the photos and make the size pretty much what you want - while it is in iPhoto it is an event
    I guess that iPhoto could report the size of the original photos as imported - or the size of the modified photos if exported as JPEGs - or the size of the modified photos if exported with a maximum dimension of 1080 - but the event simply is photos and does not have a "size" until you export it
    Obviously you want to know the size but the question was
    what is your puprose for knowing the size?
    WIth that information maybe there is a way to get you what you want
    But the basic answer is simply that an event does not have a size - an event is a collection of photos and each photo has either two or three versions in the iPhoto library and each photo can be exported for outside use in several formats and at any size

  • How can I view the number of reproductions in a column beside of the song in the "Artists" tab?

    How can I view the reproduction number in a column beside of the song in the "Artists" tab?

    Hi DirtyDawg,
    COUNTIF is your friend here.
    If your source is in column C and your streams are 1, 2 and 3:
    =COUNTIF(C,"=stream1")
    =COUNTIF(C,"=stream2")
    =COUNTIF(C,"=stream3")
    These need to be in a footer or header row or in a different column than C.
    hope this helps,
    quinn
