Connecting

dommy - December 20, 2011

HI,

 

I am a Windows programmer.  I also develop for Windows Mobile, Android and BlackBerry. I am using an IP Camera.  It has the usual cgi scripts on it which I can access to control the camera functions.  What I would like to do is browse the files on the device and perhaps upload my own cgi scripts onto the device.  With a mobile device such as Android (etc) I can use certain development tools such as Eclipse.  What tools are there availble for a Windows Developer to access and connect to an IP camera that has embedded Linux installed?

 

Thanks!

Connecting to a Linux-based IP camera from a Windows host

First of all, I'm not sure this is the correct form for obtaining the best answer to your question.  You may wish to search for a Linux forum specific to the camera in question.

That said, you're likely able to connect to your camera via Eclipse on Windows.  But without knowing the camera model and whether it allows for flashing of user scripts to its flash memory, I really can't answer the question appropriately.

Thanks

Bill

Thanks

Bill, thanks for your time in this - especially over this festive period.  I have found that eclipse is one of the IDE tools I could use.  As for the Flashing capabilities I am still awaiting a response from the makers of this camera.  I am also struggerling to find what physical connection i would use between the camera and PC/Linux.

 

Have a Happy New Year
