Outdoor HD Wireless Day/Night Cloud Camera DCS-2332L

[Smithee]

Afternoon all,

Thought people might be interested in the Dlink 233L Outdoor HD Cam - i have it up and running with a live view and timelapses (images every 5 seconds) on our weather site at University College London:

http://www.digitalurban.org/projects/lo ... -timelapse
I was looking for an outdoor cam and the dlink seemed to fit the bill, the ultimate set up would be a DropCam or a GoPro but neither seem to work as an IPcam and i wanted to automate the timelapse...

It is also running on a home broadband, any questions just let me know...

Doesn't work with Ye Olde XP ! (and FF 30.1)

No video with supported format and MIME type found.

Quicktime ?

Quicktime ?

Ah, I remember that, does anyone use it anymore? I haven't installed it for years.

Actually I did look at the page and it came up with a quicktime error so I closed it again. Sorry.

Doesn't work on Windows 7 with IE11 and nor does the page because every reading says 13.5C!!

No problems for me with the ajax'ed data.

The problem (for XP) is the <video > tags. although you do a chrome / safari check to try to embed a (quick time) player - no good for my FF.

You need to embed one of the many players available which kick in if <video> is unsupported for whatever reason.

Isn't progress wonderful

Kind of works on my android device, very slow to load.
The live view does show anything, missing plugin...
Everything else is displaying

Well thats embarrassing - it was made to work on ios as a demo and also Chrome - the streaming of the feed in an html 5 friendly format does not seem to be easy, its currently running out of evocam. The timelapses are .mp4s.

Any help would be great on the best way to embed/stream.

By way of a quick update - I am now using a simple image refresh for the live cam - every 5 seconds and it means the .mov output from evocam is removed...

The hour/day timelapses are .mp4 so hopefully its now much friendly across browsers.

Background colour is temp based and the ajax updates every 3 seconds...

That works fine for me now in Chrome and IE10

[water01]

Works on IE11.

Ye Olde XP - live (JS) = OK
mp4 stuff = still need to embed some sort of player

It's working fine here with Windows 8.1 and Firefox 31. The videos play with the integrated HTML5 player.

[ace2]

I have MP4's as well as html5. Most people can view them and I've included a download/open link for the ones that can't.
This approach seems to work well I think as i haven't got the web space to include other formats(I'm currently using 144% of my allowed space, sshhh don't tell them that)

This player seems to cover most options (there are other of course) http://www.videojs.com/
