Hi,

I have installed a IP camera (dlink 932L) with a fix IP address and want to see the stream. Which package should I download to display it at my puppy?

Maybe try Jemimah's ucview .pet from this thread.

N.B. Using lucid 525 I only needed to install the unicap-0.9.5-i486.pet package.

Whoops...I posted too quick! Trying to record video it crashed. Further investigation required.

@juergenb,

you don't mention which puppy you're using? If it was p525 then, (I've just noticed!), it has Menu>Multimedia>Guvcview. I'm not sure if this meets your needs.

This cam runs it's own server so you should be able to view it with your web browser by typing the ip address and port number.

here is a html script to view a cam with, just need to change the CAM_IP PORT_NUMBER to the cams ip and port in the two locations
the refresh rate is set to 1 second, edit this script then save it as a html and open with web browser, it should work,
don't forget to forward the cam port in the router if you plan to stream it over the internet

Edit: if you plan on viewing it from a remote location then the CAM_IP should be your external ip address that is allocated by your service provider
