IP Camera app/channel

I kind of figured that is what you wanted to be using it for. You will probably need to transcode the video stream into mp4/m4v or HLS streaming for roku to be able to display it, and you also probably want to have some kind of authentication setup for the roku and website address or you'll be allowing hackers and thieves free access to your home video feed when you're not there.

well i haven't setup anything yet as i am trying to find out what the options are or if its possible, then i can try to make a channel. this way one can watch cameras outside their house, remote cabin, a friends camera etc... using the roku player and there would be no need to attach a PC to the TV to view it.

one can use IE to open up the address for the cameras which are similar to these:
http://192.168.1.66:8088
http://192.168.1.66:8011
and these links opens a live feed to the camera in IE(using active-x) or firefox.

if i setup the camera with static public ip, then i can view it from anywhere using a browser.





this is what i am looking to buy but only if it will work with roku.
