Title: Does anyone know the camera Streaming url?
Post by: nullRef on March 16, 2012, 08:58:12 PM

I'd like to get the DCS-932L working on Ustream.  To do that I need to be able to provide a streaming url like  "http://x.x.x.x/mjpg.cgi".  I know dlink doesn't officially support this but it has to work since people are using other 3rd party apps with the camera.  Does anyone have any experience with this?  Thanks

To directly access the video stream, use the following address: http://[camera_ip_address]/mjpeg.cgi

Is there a way to insert the live stream (http://[camera_ip_address]/mjpeg.cgi) into a website ???

Open the Web UI, navigate to the LIVE VIDEO page, and instantiate a live feed. Next, copy the page source code into a text editor and extract the HTML code snippet containing the video frame/feed. From here you can insert the extracted HTML code into another web page.

Open a web browser and enter the IP address of your camera.  The page that opens up is the Web UI or Web User Interface.

Right click anywhere on a page in Firefox and select "View Page Source"

Right clicking shows "view page info". There's 4 tabs; General, Media, Permissions, & Security, none of which has any source code.

Are you on Windows? What version of Firefox are you using?
Title: Re: Does anyone know the camera Streaming url?
Post by: mrsr71 on March 22, 2012, 02:40:11 PM
Windows XP Pro: (currently up-to-date)
Firefox: V11 (latest & greatest)

Thanks for you continued assistance. It's appreciated  :)

While your mouse is pointing on the body of the web page (but not the live video feed), right click and you should have an option labeled "View Page Source"

This is all that appears...

Try - (ctrl) + u shortcut.
Title: Re: Does anyone know the camera Streaming url?
Post by: JavaLawyer on March 22, 2012, 05:48:27 PM
If for some reason the shortcut doesn't work, you can always pull the source code using Internet Explorer
Title: Re: Does anyone know the camera Streaming url?
Post by: mrsr71 on March 23, 2012, 07:52:51 AM
IE doesn't work either. This is what happens when I open the link.

BTW, "View Page Source" works on other websites, just not the camera feed (?)

Thanks for the tip but, that doesn't work either :'(  I tried it on another website and it does work.

Your last post explained why this isn't working. You were trying to open the source code to the direct video feed page (http://[camera_ip_address]/mjpeg.cgi), which is not possible since the entire page is persistently refreshing.

Log into the DCS-932L web interface:

Thank you again for all of your efforts in explaining this  :-*

Have a great day/weekend.....

The whole idea behind this was to build a webpage I could view with my iPhone 4S (versus using D-Link)

Guess what - the iPhone doesn't support Java  :'( :'( :'(

Unless there's a tenable workaround, the easiest solution is mydlink Lite for iPhone

I studied this post. It seems like it should work but no luck here either. I want to do the same thing use the stream for webpages and streaming video.

Verizon want to give me a business so I can get a static ip address from them, do I need to do that. However I set it up thought dlink software no luck. ustream and click2stream still does not recognize any address i give them. Please advise. Thank you kindly.

The urls for video are as follows:

ActiveX:
http://[DEVICE IP ADDRESS]/aview.htm

Java:
http://[DEVICE IP ADDRESS]/aview.htm

If you are using Firefox, Safari*, or Opera, you can even put the username and password in the URL by adding it at the beginning of the address, just like you would an FTP site:

Example (for Java, with "192.168.1.100" as an example IP address of the device):
http://username:password@192.168.1.100/jview.htm

*If you're using iOS, please see the note below about Java on iPhone/iPad

But you can only use the java version for these browsers. This capability has been disabled in Internet Explorer and Chrome for security reasons, however, there is a workaround for IE. Here's the link for the workaround -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834489

For the iPhone/iPad, you will need Cloud Browse, or one of the Virtual Browser packages. They are $4.99. They will work, but the former is kinda crappy and only gives you the ability to browse for a period of time, and the latter option is a little buggy.

You have two other options, but neither is great. The first is to pull up the address on a computer, and Remotely connect to it using either an RDP or VNC app on your iPad/iPhone. With the video quality and framerate, you'll be surprised how faithful the representation is. The second option is to use CamViewer app, but the audio almost never works (once or twice it did, but I have not been able to find a rhyme or reason to how the heck it worked those times... DLink doesn't appear to have a compatible API).

Hope this helps.

To get the site to work on your iPhone/iPad, you will have to use Frash

Thank you. It still does not work. Ustream and click2stream still does not see it.

You can access the raw stream using http://[IP_ADDRESS]/mjpeg.cgi

I recall this didn't work for me. The particular Java plug-in plays a role I think.
