IP cameras Support

Has anyone used DNS-323 with IP cameras? To be more clear, I mean running a surveillance application on DNS-323 to record video from network cameras?
In that way I don't have to have the computer running the camera's software running.
Thank you in advance.

Re: IP cameras Support

When you only want to store images from the camera it's easy. Just write a script which pulls an image regularly using wget. For instance:

Code:

#!/ffp/bin/sh

counter=1

while [ true ]; do
    wget -q http://<ip of camera>/dir/lastimage.jpg -O=${counter}.jpg
    counter=$( expr $counter + 1 )
    sleep 60
done

to store an image every minute.

Re: IP cameras Support

It might depend on the ip camera itself - several of D-Link's ip camera can write directly to a NAS without any additional software

Re: IP cameras Support

Thank you for the posts.
Unfortunately my Level One cameras don't have an option to record directly on NAS without software running. Also I want to have video recorded.
Please let me know whether it is possible.

Hí frakiad!

Are your cameras have own admin site? Where you can set the needed parameters?
I would like to buy some IP cameras for home surviv. and I like to adjust some parameters like the area of alert, the time of record, etc.

Best Regards:

C.

Re: IP cameras Support

They do have an option to upoload video on an ftp server through motion detection, but the length of each video that's recorded is 2 sec, so hundrends of files are created.
