rdelgado 0 Posted May 16, 2011 Hello, I need help and I wish to know if you can help me. I am trying to use a AVTECH 211 IP Camera for research purposes and I am trying to get the image from the camera using Linux (Ubuntu 10.10) but I can't get any image from the camera. It seems that it requires some sort of Quicktime plug but Linux is not compatible. I wonder if it is possible to use that camera on Linux, or if there are any APIs that I could use to make it work under Linux. I hope you could help me. Thank you very much!

Leohuangdi 0 Posted May 17, 2011 Hola Delgado, I also have AVTECH h264 dvr, and connect from firefox in Ubuntu. It was a little bit long to configure at the beginning...... you should have to install those plugins (they will ask when you access to the dvr): "Plugin Iced-tea Java" "VLC" (so you can choose the option VLC in the Format) and install all the upgrades, then restart the computer, Then tell me if it's working Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted May 17, 2011 ola Delgado, I also have AVTECH h264 dvr, and connect from firefox in Ubuntu. It was a little bit long to configure at the beginning...... you should have to install those plugins (they will ask when you access to the dvr): the Avtech 211 is a camera not a dvr. possible to use that camera on Linux, or if there are any APIs that I could use to make it work under Linux. yes you can download the licence you need for linux to run your ip from avtech website. this is only for the avtech 211 the 211V will run on linux without the licence. you just need to google AVN211 GPL Linux this will load the codes you need.

rdelgado 0 Posted May 17, 2011 Hi, Thanks for the responses. I've downloaded a file from the AVTECH website called arm-linux-2.6 and it has 2 directories but I don't know what those are. I can't find any APIs or way of getting to the camera's image. There are no instructions in those files so I don't know what to do with them. Guess I'll have to keep trying find some help.

Guess I'll have to keep trying find some help. if you had already tried to load the ip camera onto your system before you downloaded the GPL then you might find you need to uninstall everything then re-load the GPL then install the set-up disk that came with your camera and you should then see images Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdelgado 0 Posted May 17, 2011 Hi, Thanks again. Sorry, but, uninstall what? I haven't installed anything. And the set-up disk only works for Windows. Since I am using Linux there is nothing to install. I just opened a web browser and typed the Default IP from the camera, and I can see the camera's menu but there is no image in the camera's display screen. In windows, the camera uses a Quicktime plug in to see the image, but that is not possible on Linux. Because of that, I need alternate access to the cameras image from Linux. Thanks.

Leohuangdi 0 Posted May 18, 2011 Dear Delgado Did you follow my instructions? If you have firefox browser and download: "Plugin Iced-tea Java" "VLC" (so you can choose the option VLC in the Format) You will be able to see the video of your camera in Linux.... I suppose that even now you can login to your device.....just cannot see any video, quicktime cannot be installed in Linux....so you can use VLC. Otherwise Iced-tea Java will allow you to see the video in H264, MPEG4 ecc.... before the changes have effect, you should reboot the computer and install all the automatic upgrades.

rdelgado 0 Posted May 18, 2011 Hi, thanks! I tried installing both VLC and Iced Tea but still have no image. I am not sure if the Java plugin is working fine but I'll check. I wish there is some APIs for this camera, so I can access the images from a Java o C++ custom made program. I'll keep posting any advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdelgado 0 Posted May 20, 2011 Well, I don't know exactly what I did, but the camera started working. I can see the image on the screen. I've found out that this camera uses a rtsp protocol to show the video, and it always ask for authentication to show the image. ¿Do you know if there is some way to deactivate authentication? Not to the web program that brings the camera, but to the rtsp. I'va also seen that there is a lot of delay in the camera's image. Almost 3 seconds of delay. Too bad. Thanks!

goldserve 0 Posted February 13, 2012 Did someone figure out the RTSP or URL for MJPEG or other streams? There is no good way to access these streams externally and I have the AVN80X. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thekuai 0 Posted April 17, 2012 Will this work with the geovision system? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Korgoth Of Barbaria 0 Posted April 17, 2012 Yes, it works with GeoVision. Use that rtsp link and everything will be fine. Remember to check port number. For new cameras it is 88 so link should look like: rtsp://IP:88/live/MJPEG or rtsp://IP:88/live/MPEG4 or rtsp://IP:88/live/H.264 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
