working IP cam, not working in WD

windy2 · 6 December 2017 18:52

what did you need to do?

dcrooks · 6 December 2017 19:01

I shutdown WD and tried running webcam exe by itself as someone else mentioned…and I got a pop up telling me the program was blocked and did I want to add an exclusion, so I did and now it runs. Must be my anti-virus program protecting me.

Anyways, here’s what it shows now in the logger window:

web files location= C:\wdisplay\webfiles\
VideoSource set to vs_IPCamera

[INFO] preview started.

video source size: 2304x1296

So it worked for a few grabs then it fails…

it says

DEVICE LOST! In active [INFO] -inactive-

dcrooks · 6 December 2017 20:11

I have other software that monitors all my cams and I can tell you it’s working just fine. I started the new web cam exe around 10:40 and WD managed to grab 1 image. It’s been running over 2 hours and that 1 image is all I got. Preview fails 100% of the time and the cam is up and running fine.

windy2 · 6 December 2017 20:24

no point in leaving it running like that Dan
until we can figure out why it looses the connection

with the original version does that work if you increase the time out etc?

dcrooks · 6 December 2017 21:43

Not with 10.05 version, all I get is a black screen from the cam.

From what I can gather about digest auth, once the client and server connect and share the “key” is shouldn’t be necessary to auth again as long as the connection stays active. The webcam locks out after a handful of failed attempts so that may be why the connection is being lost.

windy2 · 7 December 2017 08:28

new version ready to test
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/wdwebcamcapture.zip

I also found some good instructions on how to set the URL
and have included that in the program now

posting it here for reference
the URLs must be http://x.x.x.x with x.x.x.x = the IP or the host name of your IP camera

if the IP camera does not stream on the default 80 port, you have to specify the also port after the IP, separated by a “:”, e.g. for the port 6015:
http://x.x.x.x:6015/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?camera=&resolution=640x480

E.g. for the A-Linking camera just below, if the IP camera is 192.168.0.120 use http://192.168.0.120/GetData.cgi

No luck with version 10.28 here on my Amcrest IP webcam.

windy2 · 7 December 2017 17:14

need more information other than does not work

windy2 · 7 December 2017 17:15

what I could do instead
is
use a HTTP download of the image from the URL you enter
and then load that file into the program

windy2 · 7 December 2017 18:00

OK,that does work, I can get the picture (from Dan’s port forwarded cam) to be downloaded via http get

dcrooks · 7 December 2017 18:04

Initially it wouldn’t connect to the cam. I just ran it again to grab the preview text and it connected to the cam this time.

What I am now seeing in the preview text window says it is grabbing an image. But, the image displayed in webcam capture is not changing from the initial image grab, and the save file is not updating on my harddrive. Other than the static image being displayed it appears that version 10.28 is running along happily even though no image update is occuring.

windy2 · 7 December 2017 19:26

i have added option to use a separate cron program (crongetipcam) to try and download the image
try that
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/wdwebcamcapture.zip

dcrooks · 8 December 2017 02:40

Got one image, then nothing. Windows Defender complained and I tried to give the cron program an exclusion but not sure how/where to make sure. Defender isn’t real friendly about how to do it…any ideas?

windy2 · 8 December 2017 02:47

it does not always get an image…some it fails
how long did you leave it running?

re the normal way, and it then no updating. what id you click on set then start in the first tab (connections)

dcrooks · 8 December 2017 03:05

It’s still running here…

I started up webcam exe and ticked to use cron method. Shutdown web cam exe and restarted it…it gave me a popup from defender so I clicked add exclusion. I see the cron icon popup in the task bar but it closes before I can open it to see whats going on with it.

add: It is grabbing an image occasionally…

add2: Do you have the cron program logging anyplace? I think it’s showing an error but it disappears before I can read it…

windy2 · 8 December 2017 03:23

I was getting an error at times too
( I know what the error is but I do not know why the error)
but then it would also some times actually get an image too

dcrooks · 8 December 2017 04:27

I suspect that digest authorization is whats causing problems. This is my 2nd IP3M-943 Amcrest. My first one is older and works fine. The 2nd is newer with updated firmware where they implemented this digest auth scheme and really made a mess of a nice product.

Can digest auth not be implemented in WD?

dcrooks · 11 December 2017 20:02

I am done trying to help you Brian…I ask one simple question and you get pissed off and give me the cold shoulder…

windy2 · 11 December 2017 20:23

I did not see see your question,sorry
