Anyone know of a DVR that supports URL static image

Recommended Posts

Apparently there are some that you can http to and get a static image of any camera. There would be a slightly different url for each camera.

 

Anyone seen any, so far I have tried three different ones and appreantly they dont support it.

 

thanks

I went this route, however when I http to it I do not get any static images. Not really sure if I need to set something up specific to make it work.

No, when I click on your links it works.

 

If I change the stuff before /mobile to my network info it doesn't work

hi. i see what you are trying to do. the way the links are work for you and you are seeing if the /mobile side works for your dvr.

 

sorry i thought you was asking for a dvr that does it (thats way i pasted the aver)

 

no the /mobile will not work for you. can you name your dvr ??. if your dvr supports mobile viewing via the synbian then you can try and break down the java stream.

I am asking for a DVR that will allow me from a PC, enter into a browser a URL that will go into the DVR and give me a digital still of one of the cameras.

Sounds like you want to take a snapshot of any cameras channel hooked up the dvr while either in activex web application or CMS remote software for the dvr. I'm gonna guess they all do this. For my qsee dvr, within the activex web application and CMS you can take a snapshot of anything live on a channel, as well as during playback. I would think most, if not all remote capable dvr's support that. If...that's what you mean.

Thanks all for your help but I am not explaining properly. I have a home automation system that allows me to use IP cameras. The setup is quite simple, you provide the IP of the camera and the URL for streaming images. The home automation just pulls digital stills from that URL.

I should be able to do the same with certain DVR's, where I again enter the IP of the DVR and a URL for streaming images. I have seen some people successfully do it with a particular Q-See, SVATT at one time allowed it but not on their newer DVR's. I have no clue how this actually works, I do know that it should work if I can use a PC browser such as IE and enter in the specific URL, if I get a single picture back, it works.

 

Last I also heard Nuvico allows it.

thanks all

Does this work for anyone with a windows/mac browser

Sorry, the links you posted work on my PC. From what I understand I should be able to replace the stuff before /mobile with my IP of my dvr and it should work on my network for my DVR

 

Not sure who's pictures your link is to but I want my camera pictures not yours:-)

Re: Anyone know of a DVR that supports URL static image

 

 

well you did ask if anyone knows of a dvr that can.

 

 

but also if you read though the posts you was also asked.. .> if you are trying to do this on your own dvr CAN YOU LIST THE MAKE of yours.

 

 

 

if you ask a question and hide 90% of the question then no one can help.
