Generic software to Detect motions
Posted: Thu 25 Apr 2013 2:05 pm
I have a webcam that I access via http using it's proprietary built-in software for motion detection, alarm settings etc. However, the build-in software can only detect from the entire image, and we get alarms every minute despite reducing sensitivity settings.
I wonder therefore, if it is possible to get the cameras video stream into another product, like for example yawcam, and this way get an alarm from Yawcam if a motion is detected in a smaller user-defined range? Have tried to set-up Yawcam, but cannot get Yawcam to open the stream. The link to my cam is something like this: http://cxxxx.topipcam.org:8999/index1.htm and then a username to authenticate.
