Watch/record video stream over the network
There are several ways to watch/record video streams from the camera:
1. watch: camvc
First click on an icon with a "screen" (the 3rd one from the left) and then change the display mode to "a guy on a bicycle".
2. watch: player GUI / command line
To watch the video stream with MPlayer or VLC open the rtsp://192.168.0.9:554. You can use either a player GUI or a command line. Here is an example command from Linux terminal window:
mplayer rtsp://192.168.0.9:554 -vo x11 -zoom
vlc rtsp://192.168.0.9:554 -V x11
3. record: command line
mencoder rtsp://192.168.0.9:554 -ovc copy -fps <fps> -o <file_name>.mov where <fps> - approximate value of the frame frequency (this parameter is mandatory); <file_name>.mov - the name of an output file
or
vlc rtsp://192.168.0.9:554 -V x11 --sout file/ogg:<file_name>.mov
FTP access
Command line access
a) SSH
In the terminal window: ssh root@192.168.0.9
