Hi, I got a D-Link DCS-2100+ network camera some time ago, but my efforts to view it's output somehow under Debian / Linux have been fruitless. In the specs, it is very clearly specified that you need active-x controls and Internet Explorer to view streaming video and the image captured by the cam - but maybe somebody here can shed some light on whether I should bury the hope of viewing it's output in Linux. It's mainly the image I'm interested in, somehow. Some tidbits I gathered so far : * the cam uses H.263 compression (MPEG4) according to the specs and manual * package helix-player has support for this codec * http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Helix gives some information to run this plugin in Mozilla ; the plugin was already installed by default (files mentioned in the link were already present) I'm fearing that using the cam output in a browser will be truly optimistic - but I was wondering whether I could try to use the stream immediately in something like helix-player ? There is an option on the DCS-2100+ that let's you define a port on the network cam - the Video Channel Port, default on :5003. If somebody has any experience in this, or could point me to something interesting on the web - that would be super. Thanks already !
