What is IP Camera Adapter
IP Camera Adapter is a universal way to connect any network cameras that use MJPG or static images to the PC for use with applications that work with regular USB cameras.
Configuring the camera adapter
Open the configuration application.
- Camera feed url option is where the program will get the video from. It may be a Movie JPEG stream or a URL to get JPEG, PNG or BMP frames. You can even serve static files, using a URL like file:///C:/name_of_file.bmp URL. Supported protocols are: HTTP, FTP, TFTP, TELNET, FILE.
- IP Webcam users enter http://phone_ip_address:port_name/videofeed there.
- Users for other camera brands can find their model at iSpy Camera Database (external website).
- Username and Password are the username and password that will be used for the server connection.
- Video size is the resolution of the virtual camera. When this setting is different from feed resolution, image will be cropped or padded with borders. Use the Autodetect button to detect it from video stream, also checking if the camera is accessible.
- Note: Applications using the camera must be restarted for resolution changes to take effect.
- Note: Some versions of ESET NOD32 are known to break the MJPG feed. If you run into this issue, disable Web Protection in NOD32->Setup->Antivirus and antispyware.
Using the virtual camera
If everything works fine, the camera will be available in Windows software. If something is wrong, please check your firewall rules and your network by visiting your network camera in a web browser. If it does not help, contact us at support@ipcameraadapterapp.com.
