Direct link to camera string with authentication?

Meir MaSe Miyara · Oct 23, 2016

Hi Guys, i am running into an annoying issue i am trying to resolve.
if i have authentication set for all connections and am trying to go to a direct camera path with this address within my LAN only:
http(s)://IP

ORT//mjpg/CAMNAME/video.mjpeg
i get to the login screen, but passwords dont take.... even tried creating new user for LAN only, but it still doesnt work...

Now, i am actually trying to get a direct link with the credentials embedded.
something like:
http(s)://USER

ASSWORD@IP

ORT//mjpg/CAMNAME/video.mjpeg

But that doesnt work either.
infact, nothing work until i set BI to not request authentication for LAN connections and only NON LAN

anyone knows the exact BI syntax to get to a specific camera with the embedded credentials?
i do not feel comfortable to remove authentication even if its only for LAN connections.

For camera specific URLs, have a look over at iSpyconnect's website, they have plenty of camera brands listed there.

@Meir MaSe Miyara I believe its listed in the help file...if not @bp2008 should be able to help..

Hi, thank you for the reply...
i already checked their site, sadly they dont post a user/pass path for the cameras.
i was thinking of understanding BI URL syntax and use that.
also, for what i am trying to do i need the http or https URL, RTSP URL will not work for this scenario.

what i am doing is trying to incorporate BI into my SmartTiles home automation to show specific cameras.
it works flawlessly if i remove the authentication for LAN cameras, but i want to still keep authentication.

There is a section with command requests in the webserver portion of the help file...see if any of those suite your needs.

Thank you for the direction, as soon as you mentioned that i went to read...

Sadly it doesnt have any information on how to get a direct link with auth...
if i remove auth for LAN everything woks fine, if i add auth i cant figure out the URL with the creds ...

i want to get to a point i have 1 URL with the user/pass auth in it to have a direct link to the camera without the need to manually enter the auth.

in the help section it discuss in details on webcasting to server/media player or web. but not direct links... etc.

You'll have to disable "secure only" on Options/Web server, so you can add to the URL:

?user=user&pw=password

Thanks for the response, what will it mean if I remove secure only? What does the 'secure only' does? I want to keep authentication secure....

bp2008 · Oct 23, 2016

"Secure Only" disables standard HTTP authentication. Unchecking the box re-enables that.

Once again, thank u for the response..... Please forgive me if these are repeating questions.... If i uncheck the secure only, will that remove the password encryption and it will be unencrypted hence less secure?

My setup currently I have secure only and https setup for outside access.

Am trying to use an http direct URL from within the Lan network to use on a dedicated tablet. But trying to keep it with as much security as I can... (u know, paranoia lol)

i was thinking...
Is there a way to add my base64 auth to the string?
i tried http://IP:PORT//mjpeg/CAMERA/video.mjpeg?auth=*****
but it didnt work, maybe it is doable with the auth in a different location?
removing the creds or switching to basic authentication is not desired...
any ideas ?
