These websites are generated by the Blue Iris software on a normal
Windows XP computer connected to the internet.
There is no additional web hosting service needed. You run your own
web service. All you need is your cameras, Pentium IV computer, a
Blue Iris installation and an internet connection.
Additionally you need a
"free" dyndns account.
That's it. Then you
can access your camera's live streaming video as well as your recordings from anywhere.
There are a few installations you can find easily by searching
"Blue Iris Remote View" on
Google.
Be aware that some of that installations do not use the standard
port, so they may be blocked by your ISP.
If you want best quality you
need to open the link in the internet explorer, and install the
ActiveX Media Player of Perspective Software. This is not Spy
Software. If you are uncomfortable installing the ActiveX component
you can switch to the Java Player, or a jpeg pull site which does
not use any plugin at all.
(The last 2 options also work with Firefox and other browsers)
Caution - there are a
few camera
installations which may not be suitible for minors and accessing
from your workplace.
These are private sites and may or may not be running.

a continuous stream of JPEG images

JPEG
refresh
Sized for a
Cell Phone |
- The simplest

independently requested
- Major advantage: compatible with virtually
all browsers and networking configurations

The Windows
Media stream |
- Full license version only
- Works only when you have selected Windows
Media in the camera's webcasting setup page

CPU utilization
