IP Camera + Live Streaming

[Patrick]

Right, here we go.

 

At one of the primaries i attend to, the head had a "broadcast" system fitted by a company (nothing to do with me). Essentially speakers wired all over the building all running back to an amp at the broadcast desk. Fine. The sound is completely independent of the network and works fine. Now, they also have an IP camera (D-LINK DCS 3010). At the moment all the teachers PC's have a shortcut that points to the IP of the camera, they all enter a generic user name and view the feed. Now, here's the tricky part, sometimes, some staff get a page cannot be displayed error. when i try to connect when i'm on site it seems fine, i can only assume that it must struggle with the 6 connections at once. Anyone any ideas what i could do?

 

I thought about using VLC to RTSP the video feed, but it always fails to connect. Possible that the port it uses is blocked? The router is managed by county so i can't touch it to find out. Anyone any tips for this kind of thing?

 

Thanks guys. Apologies if this belongs in networking section. [h=1][/h]

Hi @Patrick, guessing you have tried logged into the camera and checked the settings and that RTSP is turned on?
