Tablet Cam detected but can not connect

[jeffminaz]

I have YawCam running on my PC, My Tablet is running "IP Webcam" app. When I select "Detect Webcam" it finds the cameras on my PC and the tablet identified as IP Camera.
When I select this camera I get error message can not connect to this webcam and a dialog box comes up for webcam settings requesting the URL. I enter that information and save
and this process repeats itself until I exit YawCam and restart.
When I simply use a browser to see the IP Cam all is well. Any suggestions on managing to connect to the tablet Cam would be appreciated

In the Yawcam's 'Ip Camera settings...' pop-up window:

1) Enter into the 'URL to Ip Camera:' field as follows:

Code: Select all

http://[LAN Address]:[Port#]/video

e.g.,

Code: Select all

http://192.168.1.111:22222/video

2) If there's 'Security' configured for the IPwebcam, then tick on the 'Use password to connect to ip camera.' option, and enter the 'Username' and 'Password' fields.

I've a spare Android phone running the IPwebcam app, and it's streaming properly through Yawcam--along with the streaming from a USB webcam that's connected to the PC. All is working OK for me.

FYI:

You really don't need to go through Yawcam in order to access your IPwebcam tablet's camera stream. It's actually easier, more efficient, and less taxing on your router to just access the IPwebcam stream directly via a browser using a dynamic IP host address along with the port number as follows:

Code: Select all

http://[WAN Address, or the Dynamic Host Domain Name]:[Port#]/

e.g., to remotely access your IPwebcam camera:

Code: Select all

http://your_router.home:22222/

and in this same example, to remotely access your Yawcam camera just use a different forwarded port number:

Code: Select all

http://your_router.home:33333/
