Could you please specify the cameras you have ? (ip camera ,webcam or the camera of your mobile device)
If you want to add an IP camera to Ivideon Server, do the following:
1. Open Ivideon Server (if it is already working, press Stop).
2. Click with the right mouse button on the icon "IP Cameras".
3. Choose the option "Add IP Camera".
4. In the box that you see indicate the name of the camera (you can write any name you want), the manufacturer, the model, ip-address, the login/password and the port if it is necessary.
If your camera is not given in the list of cameras supported by Ivideon Server, apply to the manufacturers of this device. Inform them that you are going to connect this device to Ivideon service and to do it you need either RTSP or MJPEG URL to a video stream. Perhaps, you will find these URLs in the manual.
A proper MJPEG URL should open the video in a browser, for example, Chrome, and RTSP URL should open in VLC player. (
http://videolan.org).
After you try your camera, send us the received URL, and we will add support for your device to Ivideon Server.
You can also try this: insert the working URL into the URL field and choose the position “Other manufacturer” in the field “Manufacturer”.
5. If you need it, you can indicate supplementary parameters in the Advanced Settings.
6. Press the button of preview, if everything is correct the video from the camera should open. If the video doesn’t open, look through points 4-5.
7. Close the window of preview and press “OK”.
8. Press the Start button in the Server and the camera will become available in your personal account or in Ivideon Server.
In case you want to connect your mobile device`s camera to Ivideon Server,please do the following:
You should have your telephone in the same LAN with your computer.
Please, go to Local broadcasting->set the password and login if needed (you may leave blank if you don`t need security)->return to the main menu. Cloud streaming → untick “Cloud streaming active”. Now return to the main menu and choose Start Server → How do I connect → Connect directly → I'm using Wi-fi router. Now you can add your camera to Ivideon Server. The application will show you your camera's IP adress with a port (looks like 192.168.1.96:8080).
Launch Ivideon Server (if it is already running, press the “Stop” button).
Right click on “IP Cameras”. Select "Add IP Camera" from the pop-up menu. Select the camera manufacturer (Other manufacturer) and model (Default). Press “Edit URL” (a button with three dots) and insert a link to the videostream of your camera. Please, try the following:
http://192.168.1.199:8080/videofeed where 192.168.1.199:8080 is your IP with a port, provided by IP webcam application-> Indicate login/password you`ve set in the Local broadcasting menu or leave it empty if you did not set login/password.
Press Preview (a button with an eye) and your camera should stream video. Now you need to attach your Ivideon Server to your personal account and you will be able to access your camera from anywhere over the Internet. Please, choose Settings (a big button with a screw key) → Personalization → attach Server to another account → insert your personal account email → ok.
Done! Now start Ivideon Server and view video in your personal account.
To configure a local archive, please, check if the option "Archive" in “Settings” is ticked. In the field "Path" you can find the directory, where the archive is saved.
