hi..
i need some help to link cctv to a website.
the scenario as follows :

we have shared internet connection (LAN), each member is provided with a private ip, and each member is using a DVR (4 channels).

we will use a website to displayed the live streaming for remote monitoring (outside the LAN).
each member will be provided with user id and password, this is for privacy reason.

if the member want to remote view their cctv (outside the LAN), they have to acces my website, and fill up the user id and password, before the streaming is coming out.

i have discussed with some web designers, but none of them can do my request.

anyone here have done the same scenario with mine ? please inform me the website, i will take a look on that.

thank in advance.

The streaming method is going to vary by DVR used. There isn't a universal solution. What kind of DVR are you planning to use?

i am using avtech 761, 4 channels.

Typically there will be a link to the stream somewhere inside the DVR, from there you will have to look into if your dvr will allow you to stream that, or if you have manual code it.

yes, back side of the dvr has a LAN card.
what i need is : suggestion for a website designer, how to link this LAN connection to my website, and then the member could monitor their cctv from other place (outside the LAN connection).

If there is a LAN connection you can always look into "Port Forwarding" to send the stream to the internet.

I have a customer that streams their DVR from a remote location to their office (lobby) plasma TV. I suspect that you could add some logic that would open the stream (http get) only once authentication has taken place.

Will you have multiple users per DVR? Could a single user monitor multiple DVRs?

Guys,

anobody streaming Arecont cameras on web? How do you do that?
As far as I know, only Axis have built in web servers and can do that just Plug&Play.

PM Kiwi He has streaming setup with a Arecont 3130

No, he doesnt know :(

it is not big deal to embed Arecont activeX in html page

I have no idea how to stream an Arecont into a webpage, I only pull a static JPG off the camera each time the page is refreshed using http://ip:port/img.jpg

But I would be willing to try something. The only example given in the manual is:

GET /mjpeg?res=half&x0=0&y0=0&x1=1600&y1=1200&quality=12&doublescan=0 HTTP/1.1\r\n
Host: 192.168.1.11\r\n
\r\n

Is that what you are talking about? If so how is it used?

I think Milestone software might be a good idea to look into for this type of application. They offer a remote service that allows you to connect remote cameras and allow users over the Internet to access the software with a username and password. This will also allow you to setup privileges.
