How do you set up an Trendnet TV-IP110 IP camera?

I found instructions under another camera's setup in the forum & am going to try it. I hate asking something that's already been answered & never seem to find anything until after I post...

-----------------------------------------------------

I've searched around & can't find direct instructions for this. I played around with it for a while & can't seem to figure it out. Could somebody please give me some tips on getting it set up? My cheap USB camera runs without any problems. For the webserver do I use the local IP address to the IP camera?

Thanks so much!

I still can't get this camera configured through Abelcam. I tried & then didn't have time to mess with it, but now am trying again.

It's a Trendnet TV-IP110 & works fine internally & externally with its own interface, but no dice with Abelcam. I have used 2 other (USB) camera with no problems. I have tried setting it up with just about every configuration I could come up with.

The interface does require a password, but I'm quite sure that's just a software thing & not anything to do with the hardware. But thought I should mention that just in case.

I'm even happy to let a trusted member here take a look at it via logmein.

I don't think the authentication is an optional software thing. From the research I just did, I get the feeling the cam firmware wants to see a user and pass.

Try this:

"xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" = IP address of the camera
"Username" = a valid username for the camera
"Password" = the password for username

Web Video URL = http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cgi/jpg/image.cgi
Authentication User: Username
Authentication Password: Password
If that doesn't work try this:
Web Video URL = http://Username:Password@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cgi/jpg/image.cgi
Authentication User: leave blank
Authentication Password: leave blank

Okay... I worked off-forum with MelanieH on this and we solved it. Here's how:

You must set this cam up in AbelCam as Web Video with IP Cam as the Interface.

Set up the Web Video URL as a JPG Source (not MJPG), Asynch, and fill in the following stuff.

Web Video URL = http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cgi/jpg/image.cgi
Authentication User: Username
Authentication Password: Password

Where:
"xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" = IP address of the camera
"Username" = a valid username for the camera
"Password" = the password for Username


This WILL work. Filling in valid info for Authentication is mandatory NOT optional.

The camera also offers an MJPG stream. The URL for the stream is:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cgi/mjpg/mjpeg.cgi

This will NOT work with AbelCam.

Reason: this camera returns non-standard headers in its MJPG stream. Specifically, the Content-type: image/jpeg header is missing from the beginning of each "part" (frame) of the multipart/x-mixed-replace stream.

Standard is:

boundry string
Content-length:
Content-type: image/jpeg
{image data}
boundry string
Content-length:
Content-type: image/jpeg
{image data}
boundry string
{and so on per frame}

The TV-IP110 instead transmits:

boundry string
Content-length:
{image data}
boundry string
Content-length:
{image data}
boundry string
{and so on per frame}
