ViewCommander now has support for some
Linksys camera models. The method described below may not
work with all models. Since the
ViewCommander software supports the Motion JPEG (MJPEG)
protocol, you will need to put the Linksys camera in MJPEG
mode. Below are instructions on how to accomplish this.
If you are using the Linksys WVC200,
then you can change your camera to <MJPEG mode by logging
into the camera as the administrator account.
This requires changing settings on
your Linksys camera.
************** USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
**************
First, you may need to set the camera
to use a different port number. Log onto the Linksys camera
with the administrator account, then go to "Setup ->
Options" and check the box at the bottom labeled "Enable
Alternate Port (For HTTP/Web connections)".
Then, you will need to put the camera in
MJPEG mode by entering the following command into a web
browser:
http://<CAMERA-IPADRESS>:<Port>/adm/file.cgi?h_videotype=mjpeg&todo=save
where <CAMERA-IPADRESS>
is the IP address of your camera, and port is the port
the camera is set to (usually port 80).
Audio (if any) will not be accessible.
Some camera functionality may not be present when using the
camera web interface.
To change the camera back to MPEG-4
mode, enter the following link in a web browser:
http://<CAMERA-IPADRESS>:<Port>/adm/file.cgi?h_videotype=mpeg4&todo=save
where <CAMERA-IPADRESS>
is the IP address of your camera, and port is the port
the camera is set to (usually port 80).
Note: Some customers have had
success with this, however, since this is not a documented
Linksys command, use at your own risk. IVI cannot be held
responsible for any damage that may result to your camera.
Additionally, IVI cannot provide additional technical
support for Linksys cameras beyond that which is published
on this webpage.
