Credentials...

Post by NuBI »

Hi there,

Let me explain this situation:

I have a EDIMAX IC-7000. When i try to access his ip, he ask me for an authentication.
the weird this is when i ask for the MJPEG stream it dont ask me for tha e authentication :evil:

Is this normal? the camera is suposed to be protected. is this situation normal???

Other thing (for people that work with Axis cameras): On a browser, can you pass through the link the credentials???


My objective is add the cameras to the zoneminder with the credentials, so it could be protected from people who could try to access it outside zoneminder.Is that possible?

Please help me with this :(

Thanks in advance.

Axis: I just tested on one of mine, and that works fine.

Code: Select all

http://user:password@foo.bar.com
I don't know anything about Edimax, but if I had to guess I'd say there's a password on administration (what you're getting to when you try to browse to it) but not on viewing. I know Axis cameras allow that, wouldn't be surprised if edimax does also.

thanks for the reply.

You right. the aunthentication takes me to the administration page. So, is there any way that i can do to put a permission to watch the camera? i'm speaking general, to all types of ip cameras.

Is there any way to configure the camera so it can be only viewed by zoneminder?

I can only speak for Axis (specifically 207 and 207w's), but I believe they're fairly feature standard across the line. Anonymous viewing (no password required) is a checkbox, and can be turned off. You can setup a user/password in the camera, then pass them along in your connect string in zoneminder. I just tried it on one of mine, and it works dandy. For the connection string in the source tab, put

Code: Select all

user:pass@ipaddress.com
