Sitecom Ln-401wireless cam compatibility?

Post by kevoneill »

Hi All.

I am trying to get this camera to work with Zoneminder.

Has anybody any experience with these?
They are cheap and nasty cams, but look like suiting my requirements.
Thanks in advance,
Kev

What image URL are you using for the camera? I have a camera from the same stable that offers either /IMAGE.CGI or /MJPEG.CGI as the image URL. The latter gives me up to 20fps.

Hi

I don´t know this camera runs with these paths: How you discover these paths (MJPEG/CGI and IMAGE/CGI) ???

------------------------------------------------------------------------
I only know this path (/IMAGE.JPG) I discover it becasue if you put camera ip in webrowser and then right button (see image path and time with time format , for example)

http://192.168.100.200/IMAGE.JPG?cidx=2 ... 1291904420

------------------------------------------------------

MY OLD CONFIG (only 2.73 fps)

192.168.100.200
/IMAGE.JPG

MY NEW CONFIG (20 fps)
using /MJPEG.CGI


THANKS

I used an application called Ethereal to capture the traffic going between my PC and the camera when browsing it's web pages. Ethereal can reconstruct the HTML requests and from there the URLs can be grabbed.
