Type the URL of your mjepg-stream in the URL-box and choose connect. \nA lot of streams can be found here: http://www.mjpeg.net.\n\nThese examples worked the last time I checked:\n\nURL: http://82.147.33.166/mjpg/video.mjpg?camera=1\nURL: http://87.213.108.6/mjpg/video.mjpg?camera=1\n\nEnter these URL's in the URL-box of the Webcam Pi app and leave the uername and password blank.\n\nSetup your OWN MJPEG stream\n===========================\n\nTo install a webcam streamer on Windows, download webcamXP at http://www.webcamxp.com/home.aspx and install.\nThe standard URL of your WebcamXP stream is http://IPADDRESS/cam_[CHANNEL].cgi.\n\nTo setup your own MJPEG stream from a Raspberry (small computer) or LINUX computer, follow the following steps.\n\nPiCam-Setup\n===========\n\nA simple install script for initializing your Raspberry Pi with mpeg-streamer to stream your webcam on a Raspberry PI.\nTo run the script make sure your repository is up-to-date and Git and dialog is installed. \n\n```\nsudo apt-get update\nsudo apt-get upgrade -y\nsudo apt-get install -y git\n```\n\nAfter this you can download the script\n\n```\ncd\ngit clone git://github.com/Ploeper/PiCam-Setup.git\n```\n\nExecute the script\n\n```\ncd PiCam-Setup\nsudo chmod +x picam_setup.sh\nsudo ./picam_setup.sh\n```\n\nAfter the installation you can run the picam_run.sh script to launch the webcam with some default example options.\n\n```\nsudo chmod +x picam_run.sh\nsudo ./picam_run.sh\n```\n\nTo launch the webcam streamer with the parameters for your webcam, edit the picam_run.sh script. To launch the webcam on boot with\nyour parameters, edit the picam_service.sh script and launch the boot option in the setup script.\n\n# Access your webcam\nGet the IP adress of your Raspberry\n\n```\nifconfig\n```\n\nThe eth0 interface should display your IP-adress. Type 'your-ip:8081' in your address bar and you should see the webserver of mpjg-streamer.\n\n# Internet access/Webcam Pi\nTo access the webcam through Webcam Pi, you must forward your router. There are a lot of tutorials on this topic (http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-Port-Forwarding-on-a-Router).\nThe default port is 8081 and you should forward this to the Raspberry Pi device.\n\n## Security\nTo secure your webcam, add the following parameter to your launch-script\n\n```\nmpeg-streamer ... -c username:password\n```\n\nDon't forget to rerun picam_setup.sh if you edited the picam_service.sh file.\n\n## Windows Phone App access\nIn the URL field of the app type 'http://ip:port/?action=stream. Leave the username and password field blank if you have no security settings.\n\n# Stop\n\nTo stop the webcam streamer run\n\n```\nkillall mpjg_streamer\n```\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpevers%2Fpicam-setup","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fpevers%2Fpicam-setup","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpevers%2Fpicam-setup/lists"}
