In order to view what Hani is doing at the book shelf area, setting up an IP camera is required. I’ve done this before when taking Networked Objects, but again, all documentation are gone, so I decided to document it online this time.

AXIS 207 W Network Camera : Go online and download “IP Utility” software. Notice that this is only for windows os so you need a pc to use it.

1. Launch the program
2. Hook up the ethernet cable to your camera
3. IP utility will locate camera along with IP address comes with it
4. In case of assigning new IP address, the camera needs to be reset. Resetting is easy - Unplug the power cord, press the button on the back, connect the power and release the button until the light becomes amber
5. Login to ‘admin’ directory by typing ‘root’ for both user name and password
6. Modify the setup live view as you need

For me, copying the java script from Live View to embed it on my website. And more importantly, format of video is desired to be ‘image mpeg’, not motion mpeg. This way the video will have less buffer when streaming.

I might use this library for later use. The source is here.

This is always confusing. Last semester’s Networked Objects class notes are all deleted accidentally, so I had trouble recollecting every bits until I finally got phpSocket php code working!

So, now Hanimustav is remotely working via internet, rest of it would be to come up with polished html, php code combo. 

Things that I wouldn’t want to forget about merging XPort and Arduino:

• RX-RX, TX-TX when uploading Arduino code to XPort module
• RX-TX, TX-RX when compiling it
• My bluehost.com isn’t working somehow, I had to use itp server which makes no problems now. 
• Resetting XPort is a ‘big deal’. Either ZTerm or Terminal will do the trick, but highly NOT recommended if you’re already set it up for specific use. (I rather have two XPorts for both school and home use, for example.)
• Arduino code was tricky, too. I had to come up with both physical and web interaction by user’s clicking. For ‘if’ conditions, I had to use ‘conditional or’s in order to have either one working.

I often forget where the code is saved in my local drive after the project is done. This took me ‘some’ time to figure out how to get interactions from both physical button and computer keyboard. Now the circuit works properly.
