I have a computer that's running surveillance software. The computer is
connected to broadband internet via a d-link router and the router gets dynamic IP from my ISP. I would like to set up the computer so I can view the computer's desktop over the internet on a web browser. that is view the surveillance pictures - since the surveillance software and cameras load automatically when ever the computer boots up. The computer is running a security software called Diginet surveillance software. The connection needs to be done in a way that viewing desktop/surveillance pictures on the web will not disrupt the computer's operations at location . I have tried remote desktop. it's a mess. Does anyone know how to do this using native XP/SP2/SP3 professional objects or free third party software? I would appreciate any pointers. Thanks in advance. |

Hi
It can be done this way, however it would be very slow and Quirky. Most Webcam can save on the spot the views to stream files that can be viewed over without remoting he whole computer. Check what is available for your Cam, there is also 3rd party software that woks with many cams. Search the download sites for Webcam sharewares. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking).

You can try VNC, of which there are several versions, I prefer tightvnc. To use this remotely you need to open a port in the firewall, typically 5900. For security's sake you should restrict access (firewall rule scope) to the IP address of the remote site only. A dynamic IP will add to your problems here, you will most likely need DynDNS or similar.. Adding the Mirage driver will greatly speed-up the response. Whether this will work depends on how the video is displayed. VNC generally does not display DirectX video. (probably because it is direct!) so if the cam software uses DirectX, it will not work. An alternative approach(in fact, the industry-standard method) is to install software which will upload images by FTP to webspace at timed intervals. This doesn't give you motion, of course, but is compatible with most methods of viewing. "jpBless" wrote: I have a computer that's running surveillance software.
