Auto-login into the IP Camera
Ok, so I've made it work using PHP and JavaScript. Maybe it will be helpful for someone else:
Save the PHP file as, for example, snapshot.php:
<?php
$img="http://user:password@camera_ip/cgi-bin/jpg/image.cgi?";
header ('content-type: image/jpeg');
readfile($img);
?>
In the HTML file, add this script:
<img src="http://domain.com/snapshot.php" width="640" height="380" name="refresh">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
image = "http://domain.com/snapshot.php"
function Start() {
tmp = new Date();
tmp = "?"+tmp.getTime()
document.images["refresh"].src = image+tmp
setTimeout("Start()", 300)
}
Start();
</script>
It works ok under every browser. If I set timeout to less then 300, there is some lag. I don't know why that would be caused by; maybe internet connection or website speed.

I have a IP Camera and I would like to show liveview at my webpage.
IP Camera don't allow for anonymous log in so I need to put username and password while connecting.
I have javascript:
<img src="http://user:password@camera_ip_address/cgi-bin/jpg/image.cgi?" width="640" height="480" name="refresh"> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> image = "http://camera_ip_address/cgi-bin/jpg/image.cgi?" function Start() { tmp = new Date(); tmp = "?"+tmp.getTime() document.images["refresh"].src = image+tmp setTimeout("Start()", 100) } Start(); </SCRIPT>
And it works ok in firefox but:
http://user:password@camera_ip_number
don't work in other browsers (it popup a form to enter username and password).
But in PHP you can use user:password I've check it by using:
<?php header('Content-type: image/jpeg'); print( file_get_contents( 'http://user:password@camera_ip_address/cgi-bin/jpg/image.cgi?' )); ?>
of course it shows only one frame but you don't have to enter username and password.
How can I log in into IP Camera using PHP ? If I could log in one time while enetering webpage, my javascript will work ok because browser will remember username and password until I close the browser.
I don't know how to send username and password to log in.
Sorry for my English.
