- IP Camera
- Posted by David Bradley on April 16th, 2004
Would appreciate if someone would give an honest assesment of the
picture quality of an IP camera used on a LAN [at 100mpbs] and whether
any kind of decent picture is possible at a remote location using a
Broadband connection at both ends.

My website
www.the-holodeck.com
Has an Axis 2100 Network Camera running on it. I am on broadband via
PlusNet.
You are welcome to take a look. The actual web server runs from the camera
itself so works even if my PC is turned off

Is that you hard at it on the PC?
With me being on dial-up, it is the best web cam I have seen.
Steven.

It does slow down somewhat when (as now!) 30 or 40 people are trying to
access it at the same time!
Off for an Indian now so there will be little activity for a while - I will
leave the light turned on!

Good enough for me to investigate the matter further. What sort of
budget is required to duplicate what you have done?

I have played with Axis, and yes they are very good but expensive. As an
alternative look at
http://www.veo.com/products_network.asp
They do a similar product in both wired and wireless form.

I have the Axis 2100 and I got it from Simply Computers at
http://tinyurl.com/33al4
It is the cheapest of the Axis Camera. I found it easy to set up and it just
sits on the wall and has run 24/7 for the last year without ever having a
problem.

I have had so many hits - up to 40 people at a time trying to view the video
stream from my camera I have had no bandwidth left to play Unreal Tournament
2004 on line. I have therefore password protected the video stream!
Sorry folks!

Now that's a useful thing to know about and do when I get round to
setting one up.
Just goes to show that this newsgroup is very well read!

Yes you can set it to allow any number of connections from 1 to unlimited.

I've had a long standing open call with Plusnet regarding my Axis webcam
which refuses to upload to Plusnet's web space.
I'd be interested in knowing how you got on but I suspect your newer Axis
cam (mine is a 200+) uses a CRON script to FTP images.

The way I do it is to have my web pages running on the camera itself. This
method is not supported by Axis but if you search on the Axis support pages
it tells you how to do it. When you enter www.the-holodeck.com or
www.the-holodeck.co.uk (they are both my domains) you are taken to my
PlusNet webspace. Here one line of HTML re-directs you with out pause to my
Axis camera. I have a fixed IP address and my D-Link DSL-604+ router
forwards all port 80 request to the camera. In other words I am not
uploading anything to my PlusNet webspace but the camera is accessed
directly.

So glad this item is under discussion - learning lots of tips on what
to do. Anyone got another address to view IP camera output, I really
want to make sure that the exterior shots I have in mind will be nice
and clear.

It's a good thing we have gravity, or else when birds died they'd just
stay right up there. Hunters would be all confused.
