NetcamMjpegStreamDumps

Anyone with a Network Camera able to stream in mjpeg format is encouraged to attach a raw binary dump to this topic.

To produce such a raw binary file just go to the MjpegSniffer project and follow the simple instructions how to download, compile and run the program.

When you have the file come back to this topic and click the Attach Image or Document link at the bottom of this topic and add it. Give it a name and comment so we know which camera it is.

It will also be a help if you edit this topic and write 1-2 lines about which camera you used, and what connection URL you used.

To both attach files and add text to this topic you need a username and password.

URL for Flexwatch 300 server (and I suspect other FW models as well)

http://flexwatchserverIP/cgi-bin/camera.cgi?ImgSource=[cameraNo 1-6]

It seems Motion only works if the image size setting on the server is set to full. Don't know why yet, but Motion just seems to quit if it is set to anything lower... -- FliP - 26 Mar 2005 10:38:08

---

For clarification: is the FlexWatch300 dump you provided using the full option to image size setting? -- ChristopherPrice - 28 Mar 2005

Yes it is! Unfortunately, the server has given up in the mean time... Think the company's gone belly-up as well, as I can't get in touch with them anymore -- FliP - 01 Apr 2005

mjpegsnif Output for Axis 205 Camera

I've uploaded the file axis_205.raw_file. It contains the output from mjepgsnif from my Axis 205 Network camera (firmware version 4.04). It was obtained using the following URL : /mjpg/video.mjpg

I don't run any webservers so I've not been able to look at the output using the supplied perl program.

Further information about streaming video from this camera is available from http://www.axis.com/techsup/cam_servers/dev/cam_http_api_2.htm#api_blocks_image_video_mjpg_video

I'm going to compile and test 3.1.20snap3.

Please get in touch if there is more I can do to help.

I've added mjpegsnif dumps for four cameras; The URL used for each output a single 320x240 JPEG image:

Toshiba IK-WB01A network camera (Wireless)
Panasonic BL-C10A network camera
Panasonic KX-HCM270 network camera (Wireless)
Panasonic KX-HCM280 network camera

I've attached an mjpegsnif raw dump file for the PiXORD 261 Network Dome Camera. All PiXORD MJPEG Network Cameras and Video Servers output the same MJPEG stream, so this one file should suffice as a representation of all of these devices. The demo site for the PiXORD 261, from which the dump file was created, is located at:

http://p261.demo.pixord.com or http://61.219.212.132

The CGI used to receive the server push stream is:

/getimage?camera=1&fmt=sif

to receive a full size image (704x480) use

fmt=full

, and for qsif use =

fmt=qsif

The Demo site provides access to streams from other PiXORD Network Cameras and Video Servers. You can get more information about these products from the PiXORD Web site or you can contact me directly.

MJPEG Stream data for Linksys-WVC54G

I've uploaded the files Linksys-WVC54G-mjpeg-jpg.dat ( obtained using the URL : =

/img/mjpeg.jpg

and Linksys-WVC54G-mjpeg-cgi.dat ( obtained using the URL : =

/img/mjpeg.cgi

The Linksys WVC54G claims to only support MPEG4 (ASF) but it can also sent MJPEG streams as well (although not at the same time)

you can change formats via these (minimal) URLs :

MPEG4(ASF): =

http://192.168.1.115/adm/file.cgi?h_videotype=mpeg4&todo=save

MJPEG: =

http://192.168.1.115/adm/file.cgi?h_videotype=mjpeg&todo=save

(assuming the NetCam IP address is set to it's default address 192.168.1.115)

In MJPEG "mode" there are two methods / access URLs to acquire the Jpeg stream

(1) http server-push of JPEG images or (2) stream of images

the "first" is via accessing the URL path /img/mjpeg.jpg which provides a server-push'ed series of Jpegs. eg:

        HTTP/1.0 200 OK
        Content-type: multipart/x-mixed-replace; boundary=--ServerPush
 
        --ServerPush
        Content-type: image/jpeg
 
        \xff\xd8\.....<the rest of the jpeg image>
        --ServerPush
        Content-type: image/jpeg

Image size is not given, thus next boundary maker "--ServerPush" must be located to Identify end of the image.

Errors in the stream are handed by scanning ahead to the next instance of the boundary marker "--ServerPush" Any read delays of a few seconds or more between frames should indicate a dead or dropped connection and the network should be reset.

The "second" method is accessed via the URL path: /img/mjpeg.cgi providing a streamed series of JPegs.

The format is a 12 character numeric string followed by the image data. the 12 character numeric string (consisting of 6 digits for image size three digits for Width and three digits for Height) followed my a Jpeg image.

eg:

          SSSSSSWWWHHHJPEG_IMAGE_DATA

or

          003316320240\xff\xd8\.....<the rest of the jpeg image>.....

in the above case the image size is 3316, width is 320 and height is 240. Note that there are no HTTP codes are issued before the data ( eg: HTTP/1.0 200 OK ) instead the video data stream starts immediately

Errors are handled by closing the TCP connection and establishing the link

(Any users of a WVC54G that want shell access to their netcam can contact me, i have a script that replaces the root password (re)enable telnet in a uploadable firmware image)

MJPEG Stream data for ALLNET 2240

The ALLNET stream URL: http://Allnet.netcam.ip/cgi-bin/video.vam

I don't know the video-data rawfile is attached

---

The file attached for ALLNET 2240 is a jpeg file that has in the "header" : "TOSHIBA NETWORK CAMERA IK-WB11A" , so seems that that camera is based on Toshiba IK-WB11A.

-- AngelCarpintero - 01 Oct 2005

Gadspot NC800 has a buggy firmware becasue the HTTP HEADERS are wrong :

HTTP/1.1 200 OK^M
connection: close^M
CONTENE-LENGTH:  9406^M
^M
ff d8 ff e0 ...
...
ff d9

a typo in Content-legth and malformed should be Content-legth: and Content-Type: is missing.

The problem can be solved using a script to fix those headers , this script does the work

MJPEG Stream data for Linksys-WVC54G

on the GPL Download Pages of Linksys you can find a GPL Code Release Version: 2.12-EU. In this release motion jpeg is ( more or less ) allready implemented. You will have to compile it yourself and you will have to make a few changes - but then you choose between mpeg4 and mjpeg.

Get the Sources and the compiler from linksys.com
Uncompress the sources
go to

fs/apps/cgi/EN/html.linksysEU/adm
fs/apps/cgi/DE/html.linksysEU/adm or
fs/apps/cgi/FR/html.linksysEU/adm

depending on the language you would like to use

in the file image.htm you'll find two lines

     //  index = getSelIndex(cf.videotype,cf.h_videotype.value,true);
     //  cf.videotype.selectedIndex = index;

remove the "//" to enable this lines

than find the line

      //   cf.h_videotype.value = cf.videotype.options.........

remove the "//" to enable this lines

next find the code sequence

   <!--
   <tr>
   <td bgcolor="#9292da" class="sp">Image Type:&nbsp;</td>
   <td>MPEG-4<BR>
  <select name="videotype" size="1" onChange="typeChange()">
   <option value="mpeg4">MPEG-4</option>
   <option value="mjpeg">Motion JPEG (MJPEG)</option>
   </select>

   </td>
   <td> &nbsp; </td>
  </tr>-->

Remove the

 
"<!--" and "-->" 

to enable this peace of code.

If you also would like to have propper Help text, edit the file hlp_image.html
At the top of this file you can find a part that is disabled with

"<!--" and "-->"

Again - remove this two lines, and you'll get help on mjpeg.

Now Recompile your Image - and you can choose between mpeg4 and mjpg.
No sound support, no motion detect - but viewing the picture with Linux, Mac or Firefox works perfectly.

MJPEG Stream data for Airlink101 SkyIPCam 250W

mjpegsniff dump from an Airlink101 SkyIPCam 250W running firmware 3.30, though it's almost identical to firmware 3.13 (which is what mine shipped with). The URL was found by running a tcpdump (sudo tcpdump -i en0 -nnvvXSs 1514 host 10.0.0.98) while loading the Java viewer and watching for any request for something not the page or its immediate supporting files.

Trendnet TV-IP201P

• 145541.avi: Trendnet TV-IP201P capture.
• motion.conf: motion.conf (My config file)

Here's a capture of my framerate problem. Whenever motion detects motions, the 5 pre-capture frame and the 200 subsequent frames are recorded. However, the content of these frames is troubling, as a frame will be repeated several times before another frame replaces it. We can see my magnificient body come by and pickup a box, only to return the box 5 seconds later. What the video actually shows is a few frames of me picking up the box, and then suddently the final frame with the box back in place is shown.

Airlink 101 SkyIPCam500 (W) url

the mjpeg does not appear to work with motion, but it does output a standard jpeg image via this url:

http://<ip>/cgi/jpg/image.cgi

the mjpeg URL for any who are interested is:

http://<ip>/cgi/mjpg/mjpeg.cgi

The problem is that motion expects the jpeg SOI (start of image) marker (0xffd8). I modified netcam.c to skip through the camera data stream until the SOI is seen. Here is the modified netcam.c source that works with my 500W cameras.

Please don't attach a full c file , do a diff against stable version or trunk.

TRENDnet TV-IP751WIC -- 20 Feb 2013

Detail of this camera follow this link.

Without the camera's user access control, Motion is able to receive mjpeg stream. With user access control turned on, Motion is not able to receive mjpeg stream even using <username:password> format to input the authorization information.

URL of MJPEG stream: http://xx.xx.xx.xx/video/mjpg.cgi

Two mjpegsnif output attached:

rawfile-tv-ip751wic - mjpeg stream without user-access-control disabled (Streaming works)

rawfile_auth-tv-ip751wic - with user-access-control enabled (Streaming fails)
