Web viewer with PTZ Control - Webcam style

[pietervos]

Hi

I got a friend with a few Dahua PTZ and fixed cameras, and he would like to embed in his website a stream of each camera, and allow the users to move the cameras with the PTZ. Is anyone aware of any solution that can stream in html, with PTZ controls, and that doens't need to install and plugins / addons ??

Many thanks!

Many thanks

In the past I've set up a Dahua camera to relay through YouTube. I don't remember the details, but a web search for "embed ip camera in youtube" or something will probably find details.

All that said, it's kind of amazing how many hoops Dahua requires of us to view the live camera feed. You'd think this would be possible with basic HTML5 in any webpage.

Just with a quick google search of "html5 ip camera" I found this thread, maybe there's something in it:

IP Cameras with clean HTML5 interface (no plugins!)

Hi, Apart from Axis (expensive but good) are there any makers that have a decent HTML5 web interface that works on Chrome/Opera/Firefox (ie does not reply on weird plugins that only work on IE on Windows)? This would be PoE + Wifi (either/or - mine are mostly wired but it's useful sometimes to...

Did you find a solution? I'm having the same issue by not finding a way to embed this in HTML (with digest authentication)
