Ive create a new version of the commandline videograbber tool MDGrab. (see downloads)
New Features:
-send keep alive packets
-authentication added
-webcam control added (up,left,right,down,nightshot)
-some fixes
It required the following jars which you can find here: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/
-commons-logging
-commons-httpclient
-commons-codecs
Example command to view live video on linux:
java -cp
commons-httpclient-3.0.1.jar:commons-logging.jar:commons-codec-1.3.jar:MDGrab.jar
de.dietzm.webcam.MDGrab 192.168.0.55 - admin adminpw | mplayer - -demuxer mpeg4es -msglevel all=1
A detailed description will follow.
Hi Mathias,
I have a WL 5460 CAM. I wrote to Ovisilink because their new firmware 1.01a that have some little bugs.
If you want i can forward the e-mail to you.
I have tried your MDGrab also and it works but i can’t see the video file. It haven’t header with the fourcc code.
On win xp mplayer can’t display it and say that is wrong.
Many many thanks for you fine program. With it I have enjoyed the possibility to manage camera from an application.
Regards,
elio

Hello Matthias,
thank you for analyzing the webcam stream. Is it possible to modify your tool in that manner, that it is possible to load it as an applet from a separate web server into a web browser like firefox? Unfortunately the build-in camera web server only supports the download and execution of an activex component, although some specs says activex AND java are supported. But in my tests I couldn”t find the required xplug.class on the camera, so java seems not to work on the WL 5460.
Best regards,
Andreas

Hello,
very nice infos. But I am also trying to enable Linux-Firefox-Access to the WebCam (SparkLan CAS-630W). Reading the manual there seems to be a way to get access via Java by changing from View_ActiveX-Mode to View_JAVA-Mode by the Windows-Software IPView - needs Win88SE or above.
I have only a little rest of Windows98 - no 98SE or above
For configuration with IE its ok, but this Web-Confiuration has no JAVA-Enabling-Menu :-((
There should be a way to activate JAVA without installing Win98SE and the IPView - but how???
CU
Matthias
