WebServer - how to run the integrated webserver

1. Select the "Web Server" dialog from the "Settings" dialog.

2. The found and for the webserver used IP-address is displayed in the first row. If you want to use a different IP-address insert this IP-address at "Use This IP Address".

3. Insert the port which you want to use for the webserver. There are several possibilities (80,81,8080,etc.).

4. Press the button "Start The Web Server" to start the webserver.
If there are problems using the selected port, be sure, that you haven't used the port for other purposes (for example the integrated video network) and that you have opened the port in your firewall.

5. Now the webserver is running! If you are running one or more cameras in the program you can now access the camera pictures through a http request. Open your standard webbrowser and insert in the address field:
http://<ip-address>:<port>/camera=1 (to get a picture of camera 1)
http://<ip-address>:<port>/camera=2 (to get a picture of camera 2 (etc.) )
http://<ip-address>:<port>/camera=1&quality=40 (to get a picture of camera 1 with a jpg quality of 40%)
http://<ip-address>:<port>/camera=1&resolution=160x120&quality=40 (to get a picture of camera 1 in the resolution 160x120 and with a jpg quality of 40%)

http://192.9.205.165:80/camera=1 (ip-address and port from the dialog picture above!)

6. Please try additional the included sample html documents (cam_control.htm, cam_view1.htm, cam_view2.htm, cam_view3.htm). Start first with cam_control.htm. This a very easy to use sample html page. Insert the ip address, the port and the number of the camera, then press the "Start Receiving" button below. The video picture of the select camera is now received in intervals and displayed below on the html page.

7. You can try all functions from the cam_control.htm page by clicking the buttons.

8. The sample pages cam_view1.htm, cam_view2.htm, cam_view3.htm must be edited before using. You have to insert the correct ip address the port the camera number and the used interval for receiving pictures. Then you can use these pages for your own Internet presence, like we have done it here: CrazyPixels Live Cam
If you want to access your cameras from the Internet but have an IP address which changes from time to time, you can use a dyndns (dynamic name service) to get a domain which never changes. For more informations please read this thread from the CrazyPixels forum.

9. You can additional use the webserver with the CrazyPixels Camviewer !
