I will be showing you how to set up a webcam for use with your profilux.
Some things you need first.
profilux control software of at least version: 5.1.6.2
Profilux firmware of at lease : 5.16
A web cam that supports mpg. Or an old android smartphone
I will be showing how to do it with an android phone, however any webcam will configure to the Profilux the same way.
First off i will be using this phone
Its an old EVO3d that hasnt worked in a year.
On that phone i went to the good old android market and downloaded ip webcam. Its a free app that can be found here.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pas.webcam&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5wYXMud2ViY2FtIl0.
Once installed there are a few small thing to do.
First run the app.
on the bottom you will have the ip of your camera. it will look like this.
Now log into that ip with your web browser. you will see this screen.
notice under third part software support there are some links.
this is the one we want
URL for MJPG-compatible software: http://192.168.0.3:8080/videofeed
So that being said the ip we need is.
http://192.168.0.3/videofeed
Thats it for the phone for now.
Ok open up profiluxcontrol.
Navigate to system.
Now click on Webserver.You will have a screen that looks like this.
Put your camera ip in the space where it says webcam. mine was
192.168.0.3:8080/videofeed.
then hit save.
And as always hit load just to be safe.
You are done setting up in Profilux control.
Now lets have a look at the web interface and see how we did.
Open a browser window and type in your profilux ip
And you will be greeted with the new web log on. Like so
Enter you login info. Admin or Guest will work.
Once in you will have the web interface. Love the new setup by the way.
You should be on the system tab. It should look like this.
Now just scroll down to see your tank. like this. (sorry for the dirty glass. I was just excited that this works)
And enjoy the view. Now i can check on my tank from anywhere in the world. How cool that.
