huytio 0 Posted May 24, 2010 I am writing a computer program that allows a control system to send commands over IP to a computer and control the browser so it will display camera001, camera002, etc. So if somebody presses the front door doorbell then the control system can send command "camshow:006" and the browser will switch to that camera. Presumably the computer with the browser will be connected to an AV matrix/video distribution system of some sort. The camera URL's are stored in a text file ServerData.txt , After you install the program you will notice some URL's to public cameras like Oxford University campus cam. You need to edit ServerData.txt to add URL's to your own cams. The program has an installer. After you install it, run it but make sure you specify the correct port you want to run it on. The program has a "cam client" that allows you to test easily. The software runs a sockets server that is always listening for commands such as "camshow:001". This API is created by me off the top of my head. I will improve it to give a response such as "camshow:001:okay" or "camshow:001:nak" back to the control system so that way the control system will know if the request command was accepted. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/70589/camsocket.zip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
