Logging viewers

Post by grevesz »

Is it possible to see who and from what time to what time viewed my webcam?

Thanks,

Gabor

I think you can, if the logs are enabled, you should be able to review the logs and see when someone has connected and disconnected.

EDIT:

I have logs enabled, so I checked mine and here's what I found:
[16:28] + 127.0.0.1
--- Removed some information ---
[16:29] - 127.0.0.1 (Time: 00:01:00, 1685 kB)

Thanks for the response! It's encouraging... :-)

Where do I find that setting and where do I find the log file?

Regards,

Open Yawcam
Go to Settings -> Edit Settings
Go to Startup
Check "Save log File"

Once this is done, Yawcam will start logging, so the next viewer that connects will be logged.

The log location depends on where your .yawcam folder is saved. By default it is in:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\.yawcam\logs\
Windows 7: C:\Users\%username%\.yawcam\logs\

If you can't find your .yawcam folder, find the folder where yawcam is installed and open the "service_profile.cfg" file, it will have the path to the .yawcam folder.

I'm logging stream viewers and it works OK but my log file is full of logs of connections to my router (192.168.1.1) - once every minute for around 25 seconds, e.g.

[16/11 08:58] + 192.168.1.1
[16/11 08:58] - 192.168.1.1 (Time: 00:00:25, 76 kB)
[16/11 08:59] + 192.168.1.1
[16/11 08:59] - 192.168.1.1 (Time: 00:00:25, 111 kB)
[16/11 09:00] + 192.168.1.1
[16/11 09:00] - 192.168.1.1 (Time: 00:00:25, 73 kB)
[16/11 09:01] + 192.168.1.1

This means it's difficult to filter out the connections from external IP addresses - is there any way I can stop it logging connections to my router? Why does it connect every minute - is it some setting I can change?

Don't know if it will help, but you can use notepad++ to filter log files.
Basically, notepad++ can search for an specific string (in this case, 192.168.1.1) and delete entire line.
You can record a macro to run every time you need to cleanup your file.
Search web for "log file filtering notepad++" or similar and you will find how to do it.

Thanks a lot! I removed all Java versions, cleaned the registers and reinstalled the latest Java. Now Yawcam works 100%.
