IP/Web Camera Plugin | Page 3

I'm testing Logitech WiLife IP camera and I would really love to see the video in MP. I tried CamPlayer plug-in which would completely satisfy me if it worked. Seams obsolete. It would be really cool controlling the view around the house with a remote controller...

+1 I also recently bought the Logitech Wilife System, the point seems to be that the system not really has an interface, aside of direct connection on port 8080, whch is not working in every case....

maybe someone has an idea?

cheers

Hi all,

is there a soloution out jet?

THX

Please look into integration with ZoneMinder, an free & Open-source (GPL) Network Video Recorder app... it can run programs when it detects motion, etc., and it can be viewed over the web, so the following should be fairly easy:

assume ZM is running on a Linux server somewhere on the LAN or internet.

1. MediaPortal should be able to display one or more camera(s) from ZM (using a web browser such as FF XULRunner or simply pulling the MJPEG stream in directly).

2. A script (perl or whatever) could be written for ZM to call, which would send a message via TCP or UDP to MP to notify MP of a motion event, so MP can alert the user and display the video.

ZoneMinder: Linux Home CCTV and Video Camera Security with Motion Detection

Thanks,
Bob

Also, most IP cameras publish a MJPEG or MPEG stream via HTTP; a few such as Axis can send a notification via IP to a remote server.

is there also a windows based solution?
Has anybody tested this:

This is what I love about communities:

A post started in 2005 and on Aug 2010 still no real answer or a solution!
Greta work community!

The problem is that not many people need this...

To create a PiP with a stream from VLC shouldn't be that hard to do.
I started working on a PiP-plugin just a few weeks ago, I used the VLC activex to display a second live tv channel while watching another live channel full screen.
Showing the PiP on top of live tv isn't a problem, trapping keyboard keys isn't either, but trapping the remote control...

I guess it wouldn't be to hard to limit the PiP to only display a fixed stream from a videosource coming from VLC server.
Now the real problem, I would gladly provide you with the source of what I came up with, but... I'm on a bussinesstrip till the end of april...

I guess since this thread started in 2005, another 2 months wouldn't be ...

Wow! Never had such a quick reaction on a forum before! Especially not on a 7 year old thread.

Thx for the reaction and the offered help. I'm not a programmer at all. Setting up a streaming server in VLC is a great idea!
The thing is that I want a PiP to pop up when the IP Cam detects movement. So I will have to set up another type of server and subscribe to that server.

Cheers

A plugin that compares an image from a stream with that same stream 1 second ago, if a difference detected: popup Pip.
That's all you need!

Just need someone to create it...

Edit: Just looking at some motion detection code, this doesn't seem to be to complicated ...
If someone is preprared to take this on, I could try to remember, of the top of my head, how I did the PiP part, as I don't have the source with me...

Edit2: Afterwards, append facial recognition, so MP can tell you who rang the doorbell !
