Re: IP Camera app/channel

Good looking channel- has anyone found a working JPG stream from FosCam? I can get it on my browser at http://cameraip/snapshot.cgi -- but this doesn't seem to work with the Webcam-One app written by YungBlood.

Re: IP Camera app/channel

Webcam One works great.
Anyone know if WebCam-Multi Info or a similar channel exists?

The website DNS is not registered anymore, but internet archive has the last change to the website Aug 12,2012. Anyone know if source code is available for WebCam-One / Multi ?

Re: IP Camera app/channel

Having Trouble getting URL's to update JPG image!

Sub main()

facade = CreateObject("roImageCanvas")
facade.SetLayer(0, {Color:"#FF000000", CompositionMode:"Source"}) 'Set opaque background
facade.Show()

m.canvas = CreateObject("roImageCanvas")
m.port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
m.canvas.SetMessagePort(m.port)
m.canvas.SetLayer(0, {Color:"#FF000000", CompositionMode:"Source"}) 'Set opaque background

showImageCanvas()

while(true)
msg = wait(0,m.port)
if type(msg) = "roImageCanvasEvent" then
if (msg.isRemoteKeyPressed()) then
i = msg.GetIndex()
print "Key Pressed - " ; msg.GetIndex()
if (i = 2) then
' Up - Close the screen.
m.canvas.close()
m.port = invalid
print "Closed"
facade.close()
return
end if
if (i = 3) then
print "Refreshing..."
m.canvas.close()
m.canvas = CreateObject("roImageCanvas")
m.canvas.SetMessagePort(m.port)
m.canvas.SetLayer(0, {Color:"#FF000000", CompositionMode:"Source"}) 'Set opaque background
showImageCanvas()
end if
end if
end if

End Sub

Sub showImageCanvas()

date = CreateObject("roDateTime")
print "The date is now "; date.AsSeconds()

m.canvas.SetRequireAllImagesToDraw(true)
m.canvas.SetLayer(1, canvasItems)
m.canvas.Show()

m.canvas.PurgeCachedImages()
canvasItems.clear()

End Sub


Images on Website are constantly updated by DVR (i.e. GeoVision) using FTP to a folder under IIS. Therefore every .1 sec a new image is written.
When I reload the roImageCanvas I don't get the updated JPG Images.
Any help would be nice!
Thanks

Re: IP Camera app/channel

tag a random string to the end of the url each time you load the image otherwise it will be cached, for example:

 {
url:"http://192.168.1.12:82/SnapShot/cam1.jpg"+"?random="+rnd(10000).tostr()
TargetRect:{x:0,y:20,w:640,h:340} '0,0 ~ 640,360 upper left
CompositionMode:"Source"
}

Re: IP Camera app/channel

Thank you!

I would have never thought of that.

Is there a way to clear the cache?

This is supposed to do it, there were some reports that it doesn't work.
