Receiving Images and VIdeo
Still ImagesStill Images can be downloaded from the camera using the following: wget http://admin:1234@192.168.1.117/snapshot.jpgwhere admin:1234 is the username and password for the camera, and 192.168.1.117 is the IP address provided by my DHCP server. MJPEG VideoA video in MJPEG format can be downloaded as: wget http://admin:1234@192.168.1.117/snapshot.cgiAlthough this saves a file, I get errors trying to play it with mplayer and vlc. It does however play directly using vlc - vlc http://admin:1234@192.168.1.117/snapshot.cgishows the video stream on the screen. It is however very sluggish - about 1 second delay between real life and the image on the screen. Edimax technical support sent me some helpful guidance which suggested that the URL should be: http://admin:1234@192.168.1.117/mjpg/video.mjpg This behaves similarly to the snapshot.cgi URL above. MPEG4 VideoA video in MPEG4 format can be downloaded as: wget http://admin:1234@192.168.1.117:4322 -O test.mp4The test file plays nicely using mplayer or vlc. The source code for the camera provided by Edimax includes the Spook video streamer. The spook documentation suggests that you should be able to use it mplayer quite easily, and that it uses the RTSP protocol. Alas still no luck... A work-around seems to be wget -q http://admin:1234@192.168.1.117:4322 -O - | mplayer -v - wget -q http://admin:1234@192.168.1.117:4322 -O - | vlc -There is a delay while mplayer works out what the video stream format is, and lots of warnings about not being able to seek backwards, but it does seem to play it. There are less warnings with vlc, but there is a big delay between movement and it appearing on the screen. RTSP does work after all. You can do: mplayer -v rtsp://192.168.1.117:554/ipcam.sdpThis plays video and sound. On my slow netbook I found I needed to add -ao sdl to stop it complaining about the system being too slow. Other Devices
The above works on the IC-3000, but other Edimax cameras can have different URLs. For example teh IC-7000 needs:
http://Camera_IP:port/video.cgi?account=username?password=password
