I ran into problems with testing from my local machine as well as motion trying to connect. A bit of patience is all was required.

Thank you for this great tool.

Any help would be great.

I have renamed ICamViewProxy? to ICamViewProxy and it seems to run.

Thanks,
Rich

New to compiling. No errors shown on screen after running linux_build.sh as SUDO under Ubuntu.

However, it created an object called ICamViewProxy? What does that mean when its name ends with a question mark?

Thanks,Rich

./ICamViewProxy? -camhost (Camera IP) -camport (Camera port) -camuser (User) -campass (Password) -proxyport 8888

Sorry for the double post and thanks.

I’m trying to connect a IP camera (which is using the firmware 2.55.CV73.8731) using your proxy (nice job). But it’s not working.
I follow your tutorial, i compiled the linux_build.sh and execute the proxy with the following sentence :

./ICamViewProxy? -camhost -camport -camuser -campass -proxyport 8888

It doesn’t display any error or warning so it seems it is working. The doubt I have is with the zoneminder configuration. On your tutorial, you put a different IP for the remote host. Should I put here the Server (where zoneminder & proxy are) IP?
When I do this, the proxy program start dispallying a counter called Attempt, and i still dont get any image from the camara. I thought it can also be the path of the images I put “image” as your tutorial says.
I’m using zoneminder 1.24.1 hope you an give me a clue to a possible solution or the solution to this problem.

Thanks

Where do you want the patches? I didn’t make it configurable yet – but if you don’t have it in public version control anywhere, shall we make a couple of branches on github?

Thanks!

Nick

You should be able to find everything you need here: http://www.libsdl.org/

Ubuntu like any linux distribution should have these packages in their package manager though. Unfortunately I do not use ubuntu so I cannot say where you can find them. But they are very common and should be easy to add.

Thanks

Where can I find the following for Ubuntu environment?

SDL SDL_net SDL-devel* SDL_net-devel*

Thanks for your work,
Rich

#!/bin/bash
TITLE=”`id3tool “$1″ | grep ‘^Song Title:’ | awk ‘{ for (i=3;i<=NF;i++) { printf $i } }’`”
ARTIST=”`id3tool “$1″ | grep ‘^Artist:’ | awk ‘{ for (i=2;i<=NF;i++) { printf $i } }’`”
ALBUM=”`id3tool “$1″ | grep ‘^Album:’ | awk ‘{ for (i=2;i<=NF;i++) { printf $i; } }’`”
GENRE=” `id3tool “$1″ | grep ‘^Genre:’ | awk ‘{ for (i=2;i<=NF;i++) { printf $i } }’`”

install -D “$1″ /home/asphix/Public/prueba/”$ARTIST”/”$ALBUM”/”$ARTIST – $TITLE”.mp3

I have some issues, the ARTIST and ALBUM lacks of spaces ( ” ” ) and in GENRE it includes some kind of funny characters after the GENRE. I am trying to solve those issues. Any help is apreciated.
Sorry for my bad english
Thanks again!

Great done!

and you’re off (for some reason executable has a ? mark on the end..)

./ICamViewProxy? -camhost 192.168.2.1 -camport 9001 -camuser admin -campass xxx -proxyport 8888

i need some help here. i am not good in vs c++ but i need to get your program run from my side. i have an error of could not open include file: ‘SDL.h’: no such file or directory. may i know how can i add the SDL.h to my vs.net 2003?

Please advice. thanks

Cheers
jordon

Hi,
Would really like to get IcamViewProxy working, but I can’t compile on linux and Win32 just scrolls accept 1, accept 2 etc….

Any chance of some advice to get this working with ZM??

Hello.

When i input ./linux_build.sh i get a response that says “./linux_build.sh: line 1: g++: command not found”…

I’m pretty stuck now:) Any ideas?

Best regards,
Luka

Hi all,

I finally succeeded in compiling and running the proxy. A few pitfalls which costed me about two days (I’m not an experienced developer), so maybe you can benefit from what I found out.

Tip Compiling: requires not only SDL and SDL_net but also the development modules, which weren’t installed automatically when I did an install for SDL with yum. I had to specifically: yum install SDL-devel* and yum install SDL_net-devel*

Tip Running: In my case the SDL_net modules were placed at /usr/local/lib, whereas the SDL modules were placed at /usr/lib which is also where ICamViewProxy seems to look for them. I copied the libfiles to overcome the missing lib message.

Question1: I have two camara’s running on a single IcamView device. How do I access the second camera?

Question2: The proxy outputs status information on the prompt. How do I get rid of this. It prevents me from closing the session.

Hi guys, sorry I have been so very busy recently. I will reply to your emails soon and update this page with additional information on compiling, installing and using icamviewproxy.

I forget not everyone is a developer, so things I take for granted are not as easy for everyone.

I have succeeded in compiling a seperate version of the proxy for the second camera.
Just change ICamViewSocket.cpp :

//cam id, should really be configurable.
pLogin->data[byteid++] = ‘0?;
pLogin->data[byteid++] = ‘1?;
to
//cam id, should really be configurable.
pLogin->data[byteid++] = ‘0?;
pLogin->data[byteid++] = ‘2?;

I now have 5 proxies running for 5 cams. It puts quite a load on the system, so I’m still looking for tuning points. Is there an extra penalty for running 5 seperate proxies. Would it be more efficient if these could be combined?

I guess it’s ok…

Ill be your dawg… Woof woof woof
