Network cameras on LAN help

loopingthought's icon

Hello,

I am having trouble having the video feed from my axis 207mw camera network camera being able to play in a jit.qt.movie object. I've read the forums and I've followed the recommended suggestions and still no luck. Am I sending the message correctly into the jit.qt.movie object? I've provided examples of what I'm trying below.

I have a switch with 3 cameras on it, all axis cameras. I am encoding using mpeg-4, 320x240. I've included some images of the Axis settings in case this helps.

Has anyone had any success with h.264 video compression on a LAN?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Try processing the rtp stream with Videolan client as described in this thread:

Thanks for your recommendation MH, I'm checking it out now. Can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

I will be working with an Axis 211w soon, and I have set up rtp fir a non-Max project a few months ago, so I will be interested in figuring out as much as possible about how to make them work in Max.
