I am trying to set up a location with cameras that can be broadcast over the internet using live feed. Can someone point me in the direction for good low cost, under $200 cams and server software.
If you are thinking about $200 for several cameras and the software, then it is not possible if you want quality video. You can find really cheap cameras out there, but they won't last long and the image quality stinks.
Go to 66.166.130.110 in IE5.5, choose MPEG4 encoder, on the next page it will download an add-in to IE then let you choose your connection type, if you are on a high speed connection you can choose how many cameras to veiw, on the 1,2, or 4 camera veiw click on play or choose option then play on the 8 or 16 camera veiw, user Guest password 1234.
Do you get to the screen with the PDA looking screens? When you push the play button does a user name and password screen come up? If so try guest and 1234. Just tried it so I know the DVR is working. Did it download an applet before it would let you choose which connection you are using?
I think it connects through port 80 or 8080. I will talk to someone with the manufacturer tomorrow. I have IE 6.0 and have no problem connecting. Have you tried another computer? The only thing I can think of is that it is the firewall or something in the configuration of your browser.
The controlable tripod runs about $175 but for another $25 you can add a Logitech QuickCam Pro. (The software is free and downloadable without any purchase.)
