camera url, how to give username and password directly in url

[Thomas]

Hi,

The controller uses a img element in the cam container to avoid scrollbars etc, but this type of element has not the same function as a iframe, so you can’t pass credentials in the URL.

What you can do is make a widget with a iframe to your cam, this way can pass credentials, but there might be some css needed to avoid scrollbars.

Or make a hidden frame, check persist box, and when iframe logs in to URL the img container is also logged on by same source policy. I have on most sites good results, but sometimes its hard to bypass.

Hi
I tried it but neither my MS browsers support http://username:password@url syntax. They simply ignore the whole frame.

Hello,

In my visualisation (HL 2.0.1) i added a camera and added the following url:
http://user:password@1.1.1.1/mjpg/video.mjpg

Url and user and password are 100% right.

But my camera image is never displayed.

When i remove the user and password in my url my visualisation popup a login dialog and after entering the same user and password is give me the display.

How can i pass my username and password directly in the url?

You can try to find other URL. I had the same issue with BCS cameras with such URL but I found that BCS cameras accept also such URL which are still working:
http://IP_address/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?c...p=password

Maybe Vivotek cameras also support such URLs?

Good point! Syntax http://URL/video3.mjpg?user=uuuu&pw=pppp works well!
Thank you for the idea.
