Pulling my weight
Looking if it possible to stream the feed from a CCTV system to a website?
I have a friend who runs a cattery, he has installed a system and wants to see if he can provide the feeds from the cameras he has installed to pages on his website so that clients can view their cats during their stay.
I have debugged the system and got most things working, have proved remote access using a number of apps on both Apple and Android units, but he would prefer to minimize setup issues for clients and have the video available on his own website.
Any pointers appreciated.
OK no bites, BUT I got some more info.
The units are SWANN and they appear to be firmware locked, both the NVR and the Cameras, the OS does NOT have the virtual port options that are needed to allow us to do what we want, that is to allow the following to be put onto the website as a link so that the client can view the animals when they please.

The provided smart app is all but useless, and would be a logistical nightmare to 'manage' with clients on an ongoing basis.
I have tested the use of the URL on my own system and did a side by side of the OS functions to see what was 'missing'
Now it is either money back or shell out for a 'real' system that is not hobbled.
Although no responses to this post, I did manage to glean the information from posts that were available on the site >>
