How To Configure Anonymous Camera Broadcast To A Website

There are several uses for streaming the image of a camera to a website. While this is not a function of the Secure-i hosting service it is possible to configure the camera to accommodate this need. In this article we will describe the configuration for this need.

1. Log into the root account on your camera - See KB Article - how to access root camera account from a local network
2. Click on Users under Basic Configuration
3. Add a check to the box that says "Enable anonymous viewer login (no user name or password required)" and set the max number of connections
   (alternative to using anonymous access is to create a user in the camera with viewing privileges which will prompt the visitor for username and password)
4. Click on TCP/IP under Basic Configuration
5. Add a check to the box that says "Use the following IP address" and set a static IP address within the appropriate subnet (This will prevent the IP from changing at the end of a dhcp lease)
6. Map a port in the router between the camera IP and the outside ip addess and create a firewall rule (This is an advanced step and will require network admin privileges)
7. Add the following html reference to create the link to the camera: http://EXTERNAL CAMERA IP/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?camera=1&resolution=<WIDTHxHIGHT>

- Optional parameters (append these to the link with "&"):
- compression=<Compression rate, 0-100>
- rotation=<0, 90, 180>
- date=<0 for no date, 1 for date overlay>
- time=<0 for no time, 1 for time overlay>

- Example link, inside of an HTML image:
img src="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?camera=1&resolution=640x480"
