I'm trying to set up my built-in camera on my hp all-in-one in bi5 as a new camera. Can't find info by using search. Any help please?
server built-in camera
- Thread starter Bigred
- Start date
Last year I set up an HP All-in-One (HP 20?) with its built-in webcam to stream to my BI4 server, so BI5 should work as well.
I installed the free Yawcam on the HP and using the HP's port 8081 streamed MJPEG to BI.
It's late now but I'll get together 3 screenshots of the Yawcam configs and 1 screenshot of the BI config and post here tomorrow morning (Thurs. 8/29) probably after 9 AM Central.

+1^^
"The Man" is right (as usual....yawn).
I had failed to note the post title "server built-in camera" and was thinking of what I had done in the past; the webcam was on another PC on my LAN, not on my BI server.

Worked like a charm. Thanks mucho
Can you send the screenshots? I'm installing a second logitech webcam (S5500) on another network computer and would like to see how you set yours up. I've installed yawcam but can't make a connection using find/inspect in bi5
I don't have the HP All-in-One anymore so I can't refine these or help much more than providing these 3 screenshots of Yawcam and the 1 of the config of BI4 that worked. FWIW, Yawcam has decent online Help.
Great help, thanks!!! I did run into some idiosyncrasies with getting this thing to work, though. I noticed that yawcam won't keep the "streaming" selection when the program is closed down, and it reverts to "motion". I have to close "motion" and re-select "streaming", and also leave yawcam running. Also, after setting everything up the way your printscreen shows on the "Network IP camera configuration" page, after hitting "find/inspect" the Model changes to "RTSP H,264........", and the video path is wiped out. Media/video/rtsp port is slammed also, and has to be changed back to 8081. If, and ONLY if these three fields are corrected before clicking OK, the camera will be operational.
I recall now when I did this a year ago I had to set yawcam to minimize (get out of the way) so the webcam could be viewed.
