Disabling Security on Geovision to get static URL JPG Stream

Recommended Posts

Hi All!

 

I recently got a Geovision card (a couple, actually, for 24 cameras -- two 1120As). In the old Geovision software, you got a static jpg stream URL ala http://x.x.x.x/cam1.jpg . In the 8.5 version Geovision software, you get a jpg stream address of:

http://x.x.x.x/[long hash that's a combination of username, password, and time]/cam1.jpg

 

I understand the security benefits of this. And what would be really nice would be to have a static jpg stream URL *and* the ability to require authentication to see it. But if I'm choosing between one or the other, I choose to have a static URL for the jpg stream, because I need that.

 

Are the old, unsecured versions of Geovision software compatible with the 1120A? Can I just downgrade to version 7 and disable network security and will that work? Or, rory seems to have done a lot of work with the Geovision SDK -- is there any way to just strip the hash requirement out and have the server serve out http://x.x.x.x/camx.jpg streams like before?

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Rory, I think you might have the knowledge to do something like this, would you be interested?

Hi,

I know this is digging up an old post but has anyone got a work around for this issue.

I'm trying to integrate my Geovision 8.5.9 DVR to my home automation system, works perfectly when i use the Jpeg URL as above (http:// [GV IP]: [http port]/[GUID]/cam1.jpg but after a certain period of time, few hours this url timesout which is not workable.

 

Is there any other way to get access to snapshots/jpgs on the GV server software, using GV mobile servers doesn't seem to work as it produces a Mjpeg stream.

Hi I'm new. Did you ever figure this out? I built a workaround for what you're talking about using a different webserver to login for you and get a hash built. Then you can use the URLs until your session expires.

 

If so I'd like to see what avenue the other person took
