Re: Re: MV1000 Network Video Servers

Hi,

The unit itself merely displays the images.  It does so in two formats,
streaming video using a Java based applet, and "still" jpg
images, so it's
perfectly feasible to point some software at the urls to capture an image.

Regards,

Martyn

I don't think the unit itself does this (or it would mention it.
Vince/Martyn?)

If you wanted to DIY, a quick and dirty recording mechanism would be
a simple script which periodically called wget, a well known
opensource http web retrieval tool for win & lin. I don't think
motion detection via direct image analysis is possible unless you do
a major hack on the box (which looks like it might be an embedded
linux box?). PIR triggers + script, or post-capture analysis on the
wgetted files should work though.
