Remote Webcam viewer

[ConsultingJoe]

I made this from erifash's AutoProxy and rysiora's Webcam example.

this allows you to view your webcam from any browser. It has the autorefresh meta tag that you can change, default is 3 seconds.

REMEBER: if you are behind a router port forward 6969 with TCP and your IP

Here is the script, let me know what you think

remote_cam.au3

BTW: if anyone knows how to make the image load faster, please let me know.

Thanks

NP, I'm sure I can add password protection too

[Vicks]

password protection ?

[ConsultingJoe]

password protection ?

so no one else enters your ip and can just view your camera. it would be safe.

Good Idea.

Where will the user enter the password?

Edit: In the weblink like Password@192.168.1.1 ?

its to late now, you already posted the one without password protection.

I just tried it, looks good but you are right it's slow on the web however it improves a bit when you change $refresh to 0

Maybe you should use AJAX on the web, this way you won’t have to update the whole page every time, right?

You want to tell the program what your local ip is (192.168.1.104). Then goto your routers settings and port forward that ip with the port (6969) using TCP. Now you can access the camera using:

http://192.168.1.104:6969 if you are within your own network

or

http://your-internet-ip:6969 if you are on the internet out side your network.

if you don't have a router and you are connected directly to the internet then you would just use the internet ip (http://your-internet-ip:6969)

does that help?

[rambo3889]

Yes it helps and im behind a router

why 6969, or is that and example

[rambo3889]

I just checked it out and it is nice / cool just needed to use the info about my router thanks

1 quick question how do i get my internet ip?

thats just what I picked you can change it. if you change it to port 80 you dont even have to enter the port, it will act as a web server kindof.

http://192.168.1.102:80

same as

http://192.168.1.102

well if you do have a router you use your local ip other wise just your internet ip. But, I dont know why it doesnt work over the internet? did it work within your network? if not set the ip to 127.0.0.1 and type that into your browser.

BTW: over the internet is very slow even if you have cable, sometimes it will even time out. Its because it have to read all the data from the picture. I am not sure if there is a better why.

@BasicOS: its too slow and I dont have it setup right now, you were mean to me anyways
