Web page timeout ?

When I log into the AbelCam via http://<ip>:8080/javascript/ajax.html?cam=1# I get control of the camera, and it works fine.

However, after 10 minutes or so, the page automatically switches to http://10.66.33.72:8080/index.html which does not have any camera control.

Is there any way to turn this off ?

That's done to keep visitors from sitting on your stream forever and eating your bandwith. If that's not a concern and the time-out is unwanted, do this:

First off, find the "ajax.html" file on your hard disk. Normal location is c:\program files\abelcam\wwwroot\javascript\ajax.html.

Open ajax.html with Notepad (or whatever text editor). Pretty near the top of the file you will find a line like this:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300;url=/" >

Delete the whole line to eliminate the time-out completely. Or change the 300 to some bigger number to keep the time-out but have it longer. The number represents the time in seconds before the page redirects away to the index page.

Hm, it works great with Javascript, but, where can I activate this for Java and other view options?

Is there any place to set for all web pages to reset to home page after desired period?

Pages that use JPG video (JavaScript and SilverLight) have the META Refresh tag as described above. Delete it.

Pages that use MJPG video (Java and Configurable Stream) don't redirect away - the MJPG stream simply stops after a predetermined number of frames. To change the number of frames, open the Config (in AbelCam) for the cam and adjust "Max Motion JPEG Frames" value, or check the No Limit box if you want the stream to run forever. Repeat for each camera.
