Title: What are correct settings for an Apexis IP Cam?
Post by: Acorlin on October 30, 2015, 08:18:20 PM
I have been trying to install an Apexis Ip Cam and cannot get it correct. The module shows up and I sometimes get the "red" eye but never any video or snapshot. If you could point me in the correct direction I would appreciate it.

I cannot see it locally on my network or by using No-ip on the web. I can see the camera with both using other programs.

Locally I input the correct internal address  ie 192.168.1.XXX:8081
I input the user name
As there is no password I leave that blank.

Are the settings the same for Apexis P2P  IP cams? I have both types.
Thank you.
Alan

Try connecting to the snapshot of your camera first with your browser to make sure it all works, for your cam it should look something like this:

http://IPADDRESS/snapshot.cgi?user= (http://IPADDRESS/snapshot.cgi?user=)[USERNAME]&pwd=[PASSWORD]

Once, you've got a snapshot, just enter the complete working URL in the Camera image API URL field and leave the UserName and Password fields blank.

Edit: Here is a list of URLs for Apexis cameras:
