You're very welcome. I'm really liking being able to click/touch to pan the camera, which should be working well now. Very handy on a Surface. Coming soon if all goes well is pinch to zoom in/out (as a camera control, not a digital zoom).

That's pretty cool. I tried adding my Hikvision cameras, but guess they didn't work. I can let you have access to one of my cameras, to add to your app, if you haven't got one yet.

Thank U very much, this little program is what i needed!
I was fiddeling with my logitech G910 to put preset shortcuts under keys but that is now futile, this is everything we need, plain and simple!
And i can design my own buttons! cheers on you!

ok, i have two questions, a volume control for the cam-mic and the window doesn't hold its position after restarting windows?

I have a couple of IPC-HDBW4231FP-E2-M cameras, how do I configure your software to access the second camera?

The IPC-HDBW4231FP-E2-M has two camera in one housing both with the same ip address. One is Channel 1 the other 2. I did not find any reference in the configuration document about selecting channels only streams which does not appear to work accessing the second camera.

Try this:


[camera1]

camera_address = 192.168.0.50
camera_username = whatever
camera_password = whatever
camera_port_http = 80
camera_port_rtsp = 554
camera_substream = 0


[camera2]

camera_address = 192.168.0.50
camera_username = whatever
camera_password = whatever
camera_port_http = 80
camera_port_rtsp = 554
camera_substream = 1

I had already tried using the substream option which does not work for accessing the second camera. I was hoping there was another option, tried camera_channel but that did not work either

Maybe you try it with a new User.

Camera1 your normal User + PW and Camera2 your new User + new PW.

Or try a manual registration.

E.g.

Code:
camera_force_url = rtsp://USER:PW@YOUR IP:554/STREAM

Okay, I was able to figure out the string I needed to display the second camera

"rtsp://USERID : PW@YOUR IP:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=2&subtype=0"

@wrybread,

is it possible to extend the numbers of cameras up to 20 (or user defined)?

Because using with DynDNS you need twice as much cameras ;-)

Would be perfect, if you could take a look at that which.

Thanks a lot

Done!

And sorry for the late response, for some reason the forum wasn't emailing me about new posts.

I just posted a new version:

- ability to have up to 30 cameras

- much faster startup time

- fullscreen video. Pressing F11 or ENTER or F first goes fullscreen with video and onscreen buttons, then on next press it goes fullscreen with just the video, and on next press it exits fullscreen.

- fixed keyboard shortcuts, shift+2 for example now opens camera 2, etc. If you press for example just button 2 without shift it does whatever the onscreen button number 2 does.

Still having an issue where the buffer will increase over time on some systems, causing lag. Working on it.

I'm torn about adding the ability to show multiple cameras at once, since it gets away from the simplicity of it. But I'll see about adding it.

Thanks a lot for your Update V0.89 (pls. change the version info from "v0.873 (October 30, 2018)" to the actual "V0.89 .....")

In the version before (V0.8731), I had 15 presets buttons, now "just" 10.

Could you please go back to 15, or tell me, how I can change it.

K, it's back to 15 buttons again in version .891, freshly uploaded:

gizmoware.net/easyptz

(It only shows those 15 buttons if the window is wider than 1000 pixels fyi).
