I guess the last thing I would probably want to change is the video output format. It's saving to mp4 right now and seems like that has been a pain to view! If I can get it to save as avi or even wmv if available, that would be the best! Have been looking in the GUI and not seeing it in there...

yeah that did it! No more saving every frame!! haha

Still can't monitor it through the app tho. I have it set to monitor from a URL

aaaaand I did have it set to save frames as jpeg...Just turned that off. See what hppens

haha ya think? I jus have the one camera. I set it to record at 25fps (changed it to 15fps) and haven't quite figured out (or looked for...lol) the motion detection yet, so I imagine it's continuous. Cameras are set to 1280px/720px. I just checked every setting and found many little errors...file pe...

But trying to view it I’m getting no picture. Trying to watch the video same deal. Thinking my computer at work ...

Looking at the log, it keeps trying to connect using www-data and I have everything set to a different user and group. I changed all the folders to the correct user...thinking that’s my issue.
Anyone know where in the settings or files I can change that?

Unfortunately there isn’t a username and password to put in there. Even being an employee, I’m unable to get that information.
But just using the URL gets you in there without having to log in. The log in is pretty much just for settings.
I’ll give that a try tho. Thank you!

I have been having a hell of a time trying to get this camera added! I work for Comcast and had their home security system installed. When I had it removed, they gave me the cameras and said I had paid for them. I had them working with iSpy just fine, but had to run that on my windows box and not fo...
