TCP/IP

The TCP/IP feature allows you to configure your Webcam32 connection settings.

TCP/IP

Webcam32 supports direct HTTP requests. A browser can access and request several actions of Webcam32 including the capture and display of an image.

• Features - Enables or disables HTTP accesable requests/features.
• Access - Displays HTTP access settings.
• Server Push - Displays settings specific to streaming video.
• Admin - Displays remote administration settings.

Features

The Single frame enabled check box enables the ability to obtain single frames instantly from Webcam32.

The Server push enabled check box enabled the ability to obtain a Server Push stream.

The Applet Enabled check box enables the ability to deliver the JavaCamPush applet to a browser.

The Remote RCM Control check box enables the ability to move an attached RCM from a browser.

The Palm Access Enabled check box enables the ability to make requests from a PALM hand-held device using a separate port.

The Palm Access Enabled check box enables the ability to make requests from a PALM hand-held device using a separate port.

Access

The Remote access port is the TCP/IP port number on which remote access requests should be directed and on which Webcam32 listens for incoming requests.

Port numbers are in the range 0 to 65535. Webcam32 reserves the port number specified unless it is already in use. If the port is in use by some other application, Webcam32 will report this as a warning and disable remote access.

The Behind Firewall check box lets webcam32 know that the machine running webcam32 is located behind a firewall (and cannot receive incoming requests). This is currently only used for Webcamsat.

The Allow Hostname Lookup check box enables the lookup of names of machines viewing a live video feed. This information is displayed in the HTTP Statistics window.

The Enable HTTP Logging check box is used to write a log file of all machines that access Webcam32 directly.

The Log File is the file full path of the HTTP log file.

The Current IP Address list box shows all IP addresses available from Network Interface Cards or Modems recognized by windows. Webcam32 uses the IP address selected for IP generation (such as IP upload).

The HTTP Password entry allows protection of who can and cannot view an image directly from Webcam32 via the HTTP access mode. If there is no password set, anyone may view the image live. If a password is set, the accessing URL must include the password in the following form:

http://yourserver.com:8888/video/frame?Password=
		

		

		

		
Server Push
		
			

		
		
Webcam32 will deliver images for the Maximum push interval specified in seconds or the Maximum push size specified in kilobytes. The first event passed will be used to terminate the sending of server push data. If the value is specified as 0 (zero) that event will be disabled. If both are specified as 0, data will be pushed until the browser terminates the connection.
		
The Frame delay value is used to specify the interval between frames (in milliseconds). This can be used to throttle the rate at which frames are sent to the browser to ensure that the available bandwidth is not consumed too quickly.
