hi,

I just bought a Vivotek 7139 MP cam. So far seems pretty decent, still trying to figure out what settings work best.

Not a bad camera for less than $300 and has 802.11G wireless and 1280x1024 res.

Anyway, the first thing was to get the right HTTP request for the MJPEG frames, and thought I would share it...since I struggled to get this info.

I hooked up a HTTP Debugger to get the data, since it wasn't obvious in their manual. And no demo program I used worked for this model, except Vivotek's free software.

{IP ADDRESS}/cgi-bin/sysinfo.cgi

{IP ADDRESS}/cgi-bin/viewer/getparam.cgi?capability_nmediastream&network&videoin_c0&capability_audioin_codec&capability_videoin_codec&camctrl_c0

{IP ADDRESS}/video.mjpg?cam=1&camera=1&size=2&quality=2


Here is the output from my debugger session:

Thanks!

I do not do IP cameras.

I have been following your threads. I appreciate you sharing your experiences!

When I get around to doing IP cams I hope to have your "mind meld" ready to go in my head!!

LOL!

I ordered an IR lens but not here yet, I can get day pics however.

this camera is not a speed demon like Arecont or Axis when set to MP res, but then again it was under $300.

the pics max out at 8 FPS for high res. good quality and frame rate is ok for most purposes.

you get 30 FPS for the 640x480, but again for quality images you need to set it lower.

just some comments on this vivotek camera. I haven't used all the features, but overall I think it's a decent low cost wireless IP camera that works solid. I wanted to get some pics uploaded but I had to install it at my customer (he's the one with all the Axis 207w's that don't work right).

I mainly got this cam because it has wireless. There aren't that many IP cams that have wireless, low cost, and WORK. this one seems to work well.
The Axis 207w definitely has a nicer picture, but I didnt try a good lens on the Vivotek (which is CS mount)

pros:
- megapixel (1280x1024)
- low cost
- wireless G
- stable
- cs mount lens

cons:
- image quality good but not great **
- slow frame rate to get high quality stream (MJPEG)

The other strong features, is Vivotek supplies free recording software. I didn't stress it, but it seemed to work ok.

Also it has a CF card slot for local storage.

dual codec, and dual stream (meaning there are 2 ports for 2 different streams)

** I'd like to test it further before I condemn the quality. It wasn't bad, just not great.
