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.
