OodleCam remembers its size and position parameters on a per-camera basis, the idea being that you might like particular cameras in particular places on your desktop, and of course, different IP Camera interfaces have different dimensions. Why does the window jump about when I switch cameras? If you need a mouse locator for general use, see elsewhere! However, if you use the "HTML Shift" feature to move a company logo out of the way, OodleCam will thoughtfully recalculate the X/Y position so that your click position corresponds to the actual position of the button under the mouse. This feature (Ctrl+M, or select it from the tray menu) is designed to help you set where OodleCam will, if you need it to click a login button for you. Why is the mouse locator showing the wrong position? You NEED to open your camera with Internet Explorer, just once, to setup. If OodleCam works with some other camera, do let me know! And if it doesn't work with your camera, and you would like it to, again, let me know and give me access to your camera!ĭid you load your camera with Internet Explorer FIRST? Unless you do that, your system will not have the required ActiveX installed. Testing was performed on a Tenvis JPT3815/3815W, a very good Foscam clone, so it probably works with their PT7132/PT7132W, JPT3812/JPT3812W and JPT3813/JPT3813W models, too, as well as their IP391/IP391W mini, IP601/IP601W and IP602/IP602W Bullet cameras. OodleCam has been fully tested with the Foscam FI8918W, so it most likely also works with the other Foscam Wireless IP Cameras, FI8903W/FI8904W/FI8905W/FI8908W/FI8909W indoor/outdoor IP Cameras, too, indeed any camera that uses the standard IPCAM CGI command set, like the Solwise C1002W & C1002RW, SEC-C1002-IR IP Cameras, BSTI PT100V2W, PT100V3W, etc., Various Netwave cameras, Hootoo wireless wlan ip cam, and so on. OodleCam uses the Foscam IP Camera API (IPCAM CGI v2.1 command-set), quickly becoming the standard for low cost IP Cameras, mainly because most of the cheap IP Cameras appearing on the market, are Foscam clones.

No buttons, no dials, no menus, no toolbars, just the web interface and nothing else. That's all it is, a specialized browser window for your camera's web interface. wouldn't it be nice to move that huge company logo out of the way, and so on. Wouldn't it be better to have a neat window with ONLY the camera's interface and nothing else? And. And besides, I use my web browser to browse the web. Its server-push mode (Firefox/Chrome/etc.) is quite dire (they devote more resources to their IE ActiveX versions, no doubt), which means either running an IETab inside Firefox, which I find most inconvenient, or else running actual Internet Explorer with all its toolbars and menus and buttons and screen real estate gobbled up to display my camera's simple interface in the middle. As well as the ability to view up to Nine cameras in a single window, I like the way you can quickly get to the administrator settings, amongst other things.Īs I see it the only downside of my IP camera's web interface, is that I need to run it in an actual web browser. Well, mine is, and that's what I wrote OodleCam for.

The makers of IP cameras put a relatively large amount of effort into these CGI interfaces, and compared to the truly awful viewer program that often come with such devices, not to mention most of the expensive applications available to operate your camera, these web interfaces are quite pleasant to use simple and fairly resource-friendly. Of course, these capabilities are for nothing if there's no way to control them, so like many network enabled devices around today, these webcams come with a Web Interface, something you can get to with any "standard" web browser, which invariably means Internet Explorer.

Then there's built-in motion-detection with alarms and/or email alerts, scheduled FTP uploading, Automatic DDNS login, built-in PPPOE and other ISP login capabilities, infrared night-vision, two-way audio, full PTZ capabilities, automatic patrolling and much more for less than the price of a half-decent meal. It's common to find the most meagre cam supporting Wireless (and being Linux, the Wi-Fi comes with WPA2 security as standard) as well as Ethernet connexions out of the box. Modern IP Cameras are incredibly cheap and amazingly feature-packed, thanks mainly to their embedded Linux systems (and Eastern manufacture!).
