Infrared led control

wget netcam/goform/WebCam_MotoForm?MotoBut=Light --http-user=admin --http-password=hackspace

you will get a page returned as either:

webcam_logoIROff.htm (Meaning the leds are on)

or

webcam_logoIROn.htm (Meaning the leds are off)

How to get an image

• Single JPEG

• Java a stream of width and size followed by JPEG.

• M-JPEG returns a multipart/x-mixed-replace stream. However, the boundary provided is incorrect, which motion does not appreciate, so use:

  mkfifo campipe; nc -l -p 8011<campipe | nc netcam 80|sed -r 's/(boundary=)--sonixboundary/\1sonixboundry/'>campipe

And stream from there. On Babbage, the script netcamfix is started automatically from xinetd and does the same.

From outside the space

Currently http://hack.rs:8001 or http://babbage.hackspace.org.uk/ (if you have IPv6)
