Android IP WEBCAM Problem

[dbertone76]

Hallo,
i'm try to use my smarthone like web cam, I installed the app "IP Webcam" for Android devices https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... pas.webcam. The problem is that i can't confugure ip cam in domoticz. If i try to use the ip address and the correct port show in Android app, i can't see nothing. I changed the default port from 8080 to 8083, i tryed also using others port. The app is ok, because if on my browser i put 192.168.1.65:8088, i can see teh page to config and see my ip cam., and listen sound. How i can resolve it?
Thank you

Hi,

I have installed the app on a tablet, but didn't find it very useful.
But every user may have other opinions.

After configuration in the app on the tablet, I have been able to configure it and to test it in Domoticz.

In the configuration for to camera's configure it as follows:

1. Name: Up to you
2. Protocol: HTTP
3. IP Address: As shown in your browser.
4. Port: As configured
5. Username: empty, unless you configured a username
6. Password: empty, unless you configured a password
7. ImageURL: video (or /video)

Both worked for me and I was able to show a picture if I pressed "Test Connection". The camera picture is shown in the camera field.

However I had the feeling there was a heavy load and taking a lot of resources. The web browser was reacting very slow.

I removed the app, but the ImageURL is the same as used by Zoneminder (/video).
Perhaps you can continue to test and share your results?

Regards

I tryed in different ways, i also tryed from another pc and also with others app. I used IP WEBCAM and DROID CAM. Ever the same problem. If i type on browser IP and Port, i have access to streaming and setup, both app. i have the same problem if i use VLC. On raspberry if i go to OPEN NETWORK STREAMING i can't play nothing, but without errors from VLC. Any suggestion?

Hi

@dbertone76

I do not have any experience with this cam solution. I did a quick test, just to see, whether it is useful or not and to test the configuration settings for Domoticz.

It did not work for me, so I de-installed that app.

I'm afraid I can't help you further. Sorry.

Best regards.
