Periscope is all the rage- maybe look for a pc app that reads from the camera and rebroadcasts to this?

Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 I believe may be able to do what you are looking for. I have never had need to try it, but the express version is free to download and play about with, so only investment will be your time.

yes you can. there are two ways it could be expecting the username - either "GET" ie. passed in the URL -

its more common to "POST" though so its not visible in the browser bar- but sometime software will accept either.

For GET you need to know the ???=password

For POST - you need set up a <form action=...></form> on your website.

If you can get the Webcam online - I can send you the exact parameters to put in either - but the camera seems off at the moment (port forwarding issue?).

Tried from two locations (two different pcs) - last night and just right now - tried IE - it just says page timed out.
Looks like the port is not forwarded correctly.

Use this maybe? to check its visible for everyone (and not just anyone connected to your wifi):

Also - I looked at some of these cams before - and they all had an alternative to downloading software and play video - a script that you call to get the last jpg file - so you could just call that on a 10 second timer on the webpage- like what the dublin traffic webcams do.

Are you sure you are doing the port fording on the router correctly?

You need loginto your internet router and specify that port goes to the ip of the camera.

Upc/eircom have different routers so google if you are unsure- but its usually fairly easy.

Test using a phone Not on the same wifi( turn off wifi and use 3g)

Here is the code - its a button you press which will move you to the camera site and log you in.

<!-- a button that will auto log you in -->
<form action="http://86.45.40.12:8089/Login.htm" id="pass-login-form" name="pass-login-form" method="post">
	<input type="hidden" name="command" value="login"/>
	<input type="hidden" id="username" name="username"  value="user" />
	<input type="hidden" id="password" name="password"  value="" />
	<button id='loginBT' type="submit" >Go!</button>
</form>

and this version, if you prefer, will jump you to the site as soon as the page loads

<!-- immediately transfers you to the camera and logs you in when the page loads -->
<form action="http://86.45.40.12:8089/Login.htm" id="pass-login-form" name="pass-login-form" method="post">
	<input type="hidden" name="command" value="login"/>
	<input type="hidden" id="username" name="username"  value="user" />
	<input type="hidden" id="password" name="password"  value="" />
</form>

<script LANGUAGE="javascript">
document.forms[0].submit();
</script>

It doesnt seem to support the other thing I mentioned - the Onvif standard (link) which is a pity - as that one you dont need to install any activex stuff to work as you can select to get just still images rather than a video.

Well I've gone through the ordeal of both using Internet Explorer and downloading Quicktime and I'm getting a blank screen :P Hopefully will work soon though, thanks for doing it.

Its not the ideal way to have a camera for a public site to be honest.


Are you sure there is no option in the camera to upload snapshots to an ftp or webserver or cloud? Most cameras I would have thought have that option.

So - the best setup would be for a camera to upload an image to a web site (cloud/ftp/your website) every 5 to 15 seconds or so. Then your webserver can dish this out as a standard jpg image to lots of users at the same time without them having to install any stuff.
Its best if the camera can do this all itself rather than have a pc with software installed to do it - as its quite difficult (and expensive) to have another pc reliably running forever doing this task.
