[ANSWERED]: Viewing SecuritySpy Cameras through a control pa

Good evening. I am giving it a go at trying to build a control page that has a continuous camera feeds from SecuritySpy. While I have no issues with running the following URL from within a control, though I have 4 cameras connected through SS, the only valid camera number is 1. If I try any other number to select a different camera an error gets thrown in the event log.

URL I am using:

Code: Select all

http://username:password@192.168.xxx.xxx:8000/++image?cameraNum=1


Error I receive if I try to change the "cameraNum" variable to anything other than 1:

Code: Select all

http://192.168.xxx.xxx:8000/++image?cameraNum=2 load error: HTTP Error 404: OK

Any insight would be very much appreciated.

Is that an actual copy from your event log ? Ifso, I think you forgot to include your username and password for the other camera.

It is the actual error message. The username and password are being passed through URL on the control to the SecuritySpy Web Server. The only thing I am changing is the cameraNum variable. As I mentioned, I have 4 cameras attached through SecuritySpy.

UPDATE:
This is the error I receive when the control page is just saved, and not being viewed in Indigo Touch.

Code: Select all

Error (client)                  control page image URL failed to load (404 - not found): http://username:password@192.168.xxx.xxx:8000/++image?cameraNum=2

This is strange indeed.

I have 6 cameras and they all work fine.
I did notice that SecuritySpy does not necessarily number the cameras in order. Are you sure that cameranum 2 is actually an existing ID ?
As you see in my screenshot, ID3 does not exist... so maybe your camera numbers are also not sequential.

You can check under devices in Indigo, if all your four cameras are listed and have a green light in front of them, it should just work. The correct ID number is seen in the 'address' column.

See the screenshot of my Indigo setup.
The very first line is my SecuritySpy server... and a few lines lower, the ones with all the green lights are all my cameras.
Does your Indigo setup look similar ?

PeteVis - Many, many thanks. You nailed it when you posted that screen shot. I never realized that the number contained in the parentheses was the camera ID number being pulled from SS. That did the trick!
