I-Watcher IC-100 limited sucess

[ianafh]

Hi,
I recently bought an Orite I-Watcher IC-100 from Aria just to see what a cheap IP camera is like. I guess you get what you pay for!

To get it to go with ZM I used these settings.

Opened port 1600 on the ZM box - the manual says this port is used for video.

Remote host name: 192.168.1.xx
Remote host port: 80
Remote Host Path: /Jpeg/CamImg.jpg
Remote Image Colours: 24 Bit colour
Capture Width (pixels): 320
Capture Height (pixels): 240
Orientation: Normal

I get a maximum of about 10-12FPS reported with these settings.

Image quality isn't great even in good natural light. It gets worse as the light fades. If you've a well lit room then it would probably be ok. It has some sensitivity to IR but not enough to be useful at night.

Hope the above is of use to someone!

Ian.
