As far as i know from bwired his setup, it has an api function which you can use to do exactly that what you want. Check the forum or ask bwired.

You can create a html page with some javascript code, which allows you to do inline streaming video. Alternatively can you can create snapshots in jpeg file format, and show this from your website. To explore the possibilities I suggest you visit the AXIS website. The 241Q is a good, but bit expensive product.

PS: Obviously it depends on your telephones' capabilities .... does it support javascript etc etc.

The problem is that i dont know anything about API.

And yes the 214Q is expensive, But i already have one

Hi,

The cameraserver itself shows an example in one of the menus (cannot check rightnow) find below a snapshot which you can use after some small changes in the variables. After registration at the axis site you have access to all the documentation required.

Modify and paste below in a html file.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
// Set the BaseURL to the URL of your camera
var BaseURL = "http://cameraserver/";

// DisplayWidth & DisplayHeight specifies the displayed width & height of the image.
// You may change these numbers, the effect will be a stretched or a shrunk image
var DisplayWidth = "352";
var DisplayHeight = "288";

// This is the path to the image generating file inside the camera itself
// var File = "axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=CIF&camera=1";
var File = "axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=CIF&camera=1&clock=0&date=0&text=0";
// No changes required below this point
var output = "";
if ((navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") &&
(navigator.platform != "MacPPC") && (navigator.platform != "Mac68k"))
{
// If Internet Explorer under Windows then use ActiveX
output = '<OBJECT ID="Player" width='
output += DisplayWidth;
output += ' height=';
output += DisplayHeight;
output += ' CLASSID="CLSID:DE625294-70E6-45ED-B895-CFFA13AEB044" ';
output += 'CODEBASE="';
output += BaseURL;
output += 'activex/AMC.cab#version=4,0,18,0">';
output += '<PARAM NAME="MediaURL" VALUE="';
output += BaseURL;
output += File + '">';
output += '<param name="MediaType" value="mjpeg-unicast">';
output += '<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="0">';
output += '<param name="ShowToolbar" value="0">';
output += '<param name="AutoStart" value="1">';
output += '<param name="StretchToFit" value="1">';
// Remove the '//' for the ptz settings below to use the code for click-in-image.
// output += '<param name="PTZControlURL" value="';
// output += BaseURL;
// output += '/axis-cgi/com/ptz.cgi?camera=1">';
// output += '<param name="UIMode" value="ptz-relative">'; // or "ptz-absolute"
output += '<BR><B>Axis Media Control</B><BR>';
output += 'The AXIS Media Control, which enables you ';
output += 'to view live image streams in Microsoft Internet';
output += ' Explorer, could not be registered on your computer.';
output += '<BR></OBJECT>';
} else {
// If not IE for Windows use the browser itself to display
theDate = new Date();
output = '<IMG SRC="';
output += BaseURL;
output += File;
output += '&dummy=' + theDate.getTime().toString(10);
output += '" HEIGHT="';
output += DisplayHeight;
output += '" WIDTH="';
output += DisplayWidth;
output += '" ALT="Camera Image">';
}
document.write(output);
document.Player.ToolbarConfiguration = "play,+snapshot,+fullscreen"

// Remove the '//' below to use the code for Motion Detection.
// document.Player.UIMode = "MDConfig";
// document.Player.MotionConfigURL = "/axis-cgi/operator/param.cgi?ImageSource=0"
// document.Player.MotionDataURL = "/axis-cgi/motion/motiondata.cgi";
</SCRIPT>

Again late reaction from me due to mail notification problems.
Agree with Willem. There are lots of examples in the web server of the AXIS 241Q.
You can use ActiveX, Java or Mpeg4, so depending on your cellphone (GSM) which method to choose.
Just try it out and let us know how it goes!
