I am interested in setting up a webcam, and due to distance constraints, it needs to be an IP camera.
I have tried connecting the Web Cam Capture program to my D-Link DCS5222L camera as an experiment, but it won’t connect. Should it ?
What are the basic requirements for a web cam to work with WD? (forgetting image quality, weatherproofing and all that stuff - just the basic interfacing that makes it connect)
I just used the wdwebcamcapture program. I’m not sure what the pros and cons are between the 2 methods (and also unsure how I’m going to integrate the pictures with my website yet)
I was using WDwebcamcapture (latest version) for several hours today to take snapshots from my Ubiquiti camera and save them to a file. It worked flawlessly for the simple task I was doing.
WDwebcamcapture is a very capable program which does far more than I need, so have now replaced it with a Cron task on my Linux box.
