IP Vision Config

Camera settings is a URL:
http://userid:password@host:port/path/file?param1=value&param2=value
rtsp://userid:password@host:port/path/file?param1=value&param2=value

Since the entire URL string can be quite long, it is broken in separate components in IP Vision.

Protocol: rtsp or http
Host: ip address or fqdn
Port: port number
Userid: userid
Password: password
Path: /path/file?param1=value&param2=value

Each camera manufacturer uses a different URL for video streams or still images access. There may be variations among different models from the same manufacturer.

IP Vision has pre-defined path/file/params for most common models of the following cameras vendors: Airlink101, Axis, Cannon, D-Link, Edimax, Mobotix, Linksys, Panasonic, Sharx, StarDot, Toshiba, Trendnet, Vivotek, Y-cam

Motion JPEG (mjpeg) and MPEG4 are the video stream formats supported by IP Vision.
Check your camera documentation to find out if mjpeg/mpeg4 is supported and the URL to access it.

Some cameras support multiple streams formats simultaneously, others don't and you have to configure the format you want using the camera configuration utility.

If you have a webcam connected to a Windows computer, you can use webcamXP video server to stream mjpeg video to your iPhone/iPod.
