How to develop in real website ? about cam2web HOT 1 CLOSED

Hello,

First thing you need to make sure is to provide public IP address to the streamed camera. So your computer/device streaming the camera must be accessible from the internet. This setup is most natural and does not require much extra development. In fact, this way the camera already becomes a 'real website'.

But, if you need a proper web server (Apache, whatever) for your non-camera related content, then all you need is to use something like camera.js (see source code in src/web). There you can see URLs for MJPEG stream and JPEG snapshots:
var jpegUrl = '/camera/jpeg';
var mjpegUrl = '/camera/mjpeg';

If you change those so that IP address of your camera is included, then it should be all fine.

If your camera/device does not have public IP address, then it all becomes more complicated. If the web server has both public IP address and an IP address on a local internal network, where your camera is, then the web server may become sort of a proxy. But this will require some development on your side. The easiest way is to have some task on the web server, which gets JPEG images from the camera from time to time. And then that JPEG images can be used on your web page and refreshed by some Java Script code.

Hope it helps.
