Trendnet TV-IP320PI Outdoor IP Camera - need video url for mjpeg
rjgvt:
Recently purchased a Trendnet TV-IP320PI outdoor camera as it is rated to -20*F and can use POE. Coldest temps I saw this past winter was -24*F. The camera's main stream is H.264 and I am using that format with Trendnet's ProView software running on a dedicated computer that I also use for Icamsource. Icamsource is running with 2 local webcams and 1 Airlink IP camera and 3 Airlink IP cameras at a remote location.
The Trendnet camera uses H.264 video as its mainstream and has a substream that is selectable for H.264 OR MJPEG. I have the substream set to MJPEG, 640x480 and 2fps. I have been using a separate session of Icamsource (different password) so I don't have to keep stopping/starting my primary Icamsource. My goal is to get Icamsource to see the MJPEG image so that I can add an outdoor Trendnet camera to my remote location and run it from home like I do the remote Airlink cameras. I have tried all of the known video url's on SKJM's website plus all of the ones I found online and cannot get an image to show on icamsource. I have tried them with and without a loging:password in the http string. I have also tried changing a "1" to a "2" for channel designation for some of the video url's since it is a substream. One reason I bought this camera was because it was compatable with MJPEG. Any help would be appreciated.
FYI.....The IR illumination on this camera works pretty good, except that bugs and spiders are attracted to it. The camera is mounted under the eave of my house. I blanked off the IR LED's with aluminum tape with duct tape over that and left a cutout for the day/night sensor. I bought a sub-$10 IR illuminator and mounted it about 5' below the camera and adjusted it in the center of the camera view and is working good. I sprayed bug/spider spray around the area of the camera, IR illuminator and around the outside of the windows where my other cameras point outside from inside of the house. I also use a 10' piece of 1" PVC with a duster stuck in the end and use it to wipe stuff off of the cams/windows when something gets on them.

What error do you see in iCamSource when it isn't able to connect to the ip camera?
Have you tried the mjpeg_test.php web page available here: http://skjm.com/icam/mjpeg_test.php
What are the exact URL's you tried in iCamSource?
rjgvt:
I tried all 68 links that come up at the link, none produce an image. I also tried most of the links separatly in Icamsource with and without a user name and pasword: http://user:password@ipaddress:port#/insert_mjpeg_url_here. I have also tried links with a channel designation as "1" and I also tried it with a "2" as the MJPEG is the substream. The main channel is H.264 and cannot be changed. I have also tried video url's that I found on the web for Hikvision IP cameras as the Trendnet camera is a rebranded Hikvision DS-2CD2012-I. They look exactly alike and the specs appear to be the same.
I have found that if I don't use the user and password in the beginning of the url, I get the error that the camera cannot be found. I'm at work right now and can't try it to get the exact wording. If I use the user:password and hit start, for most attemps, it doesn't error, but does not produce an image.
I opened a help desk ticket with Trendnet and their suggested url was: http://ipaddress/Streaming/Channels/1/httpPreview. I had already tried this one with channel 1 and 2 and with and without the user and password in the url and it did not work in Icamsource.
I'm beginning to think that this camera is not compatable with Icamsource, even though it is MJPEG compatable. Here is a list of url's that I made from searching the web and have tried. Some are repeats of the ones from the mjpeg_test link.

You will need to disable "User Access Control" of the camera via the web configuration interface (see manual). Apparently, Motion does not work when authentication is required when accessing the URLs. Don't worry as user access control is a separate matter from the "admin password" of the camera. The admin password is only needed when changing camera settings.

Update: error received when attempting to start Icamsource is 404 - Web URL not found.
Tried a few more URLs tonight and no luck.
SKJM Support:
If you enter the URL that TrendNET suggested into your web browser do you see just the raw streaming video. If not, then there may be a configuration setting that can be changed to get that, since that is the URL that TrendNET themselves suggested.
