Excellent, thanks!

As far as I remember you may add any cameras via http url request of JPEG. Do you understend? You should find or ask your distributor/vendor for IP Cameras API. There you will find something like http://IP address/stream1/jpeg.jpg - it is not exact url, just for understanding. Thanks, I also tried that. Unfortunately I couldn't get it working. Bosch in SA isn't really much help as they know I'm going to use other cameras. And the installers just say you can't use other cameras on bosch systems. So I'm between a rock and a hard place...but will see. thanks anyway.

Hi, thanks, makes sense. I did contact BOSCH and they said dibos 8.7 supports ONVIF cameras, but I can't get it to work. tried the whole http thing as well. But I will think of adding another server.

Hi Guys I need some help. We have a Bosch 19inch unit with Dibos v8.7 loaded. I have heard numerous of times that I can only buy Bosch IP cameras as thats the only cameras that will work. Is there a way to make other branded IP cameras work on this system? I've spoken to a BOSCH guy and he says that it is possible with SOME IP cameras. But he can't tell me which. It's a Hit or Miss thing. I've tried a HikVision 2mp IP Camera, doesn't work. From what I have read it's a problem with the decoding of the MPEG4 stream? Can't you get something that sits in between the camera and the bosch unit that can decode the stream to make it Bosch friendly? Or I will need to remove the dibos software and get something else that supports the bosch analogue capture cards and ip cameras. Any ideas?
