NC1000

Post by jordg »

Hi,

I need to get several NC1000 cameras working. (From gadspot.com)
Does anyone know how to connect to this camera.?

All I can get from firefox is http://xxx.xxx.xx/Simple/index.htm?Cus?Logo
which displays a java based image.
Looks like it is crippleware for anything other than the stinking Microsoft Browser.


Cheers

Grahame

I use the NC1000W and it works great! The path to use is /GetData.cgi with no parameters.

I I've said before on other threads,
There are NO parameters to pass to the camera. You HAVE to do all configuration through the browser (preferably IE), BEFORE using on ZM. Otherwise you end up using the camera's default setting.

Judging from my Gadspot cameras, on ZM you can get anywhere from 10-20FPS on these babies using MJPEG streaming. It depends on your bandwidth, image size, quality, etc... Only downside, there is no way to throttle these cameras. This can be a pain if you need to conserve CPU for other cameras or other tasks. I'm experimenting with the Max FPS option in ZM to see if I get a better result.
Regards,
Jose.
