Equipment/Webcams

The IP Secure300r webcam

The camera is one of these.

Warning

The java app on the main admin page of the camera tends to lockup firefox

Access

• IP: 172.31.24.169
• Host: netcam
• Username: admin
• Password: hackspace

Infrared led control

To toggle the ir leds:

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)

UDP control

The state info is also returned from UDP broadcast of "uicam query\0" on port 10139.

The camera responds 520 bytes (512, assuming the first 8 bytes are separate), starting with "uiv2". The state info is followed by the DDNS update details: host, "\0\0", data to send (i.e. an HTTP request without the HTTP version).

You can change the settings by returning uisp (set params?) in place of uiv2. The webcam replies with oksp "OK", followed uibo "Booting". Only the uiv2 response populates the version field.
