Is there an API to the camera software, is it web based? Does it respond to socket requests? How much do you actually know about the camera?

[mnask79]

i dont know that much , thats why im here and asking your help

can you please access to camera , maybe u have answer

[cpradio]

Did the camera come with any documentation? Model #, etc. As a lot of info should be within the documentation, and once you know how to access each piece of functionality, programming it, won't be terribly difficult.

it has SDK doc , and maybe i can execute the command by calling dll , but i have no idea how ,if you want i can send you SDK doc.
i have read it , but i did not understand it


Here below the dll usage investigation I did to get the data from the DVR:

1- QTSocketStartUp to initialize the dll global and static data.
2- QTOpen to setup the connection with the DVR; passing the parameters of the cameras as specified by the documentation sent. One importance tip here is that there should be a window handle to be passed. The window handle should be created and the WndProc should be overridden to receive the user defined messages from the dll. A workaround for this for the web implementation is using a silent window to process the messages and send the results for the web form/page.

If you attach the SDK doc to this thread, might be able to get a few people to help you look into it. There are several people here that I think would be up to the challenge.

I downloaded the attachment and it contains a kml file that is nothing but XML, that doesn't really describe any type of SDK... Did you attach the correct file?

[mnask79]

Post the model/manufacturer of the camera. I'm sure we can find documentation on it online somewhere.

G(Q)DVR Network Protocol Ver3-8 2010-06-16.zip

CMS SDK 1.2.doc

[cpradio]

From my quick overview of the SDK and the Network Protocol, you need a much strong language than PHP to handle this. All of the SDK and Network Protocol refer to things that would be used in C, C++, Java, or something along those lines.

what do u advice please ? i want to manage DVR camera thought web application

[cpradio]

Everything I read in the attachments seem to be related to the DVR and not specifically the camera. Can you tell us which camera you bought?

From what I can tell from http://www.advcctv.com.sg/uploads/fi...4000series.pdf, if you bought a camera that works with the DVR, it should be plug n play, and it seems the DVR has its' own web interface built in...

[mnask79]

i want to make my own web application , i will connect to DVR , then save backup , frames or photo , and search on them later ...

is there any work around ?

[cpradio]

Not without a low level application running in the background that your web application can talk to. You may want to look to see if someone else has created a commercial product that does this already, as it will require a significant amount of work.

OK, MANY THANKS FOR EVERYTHING
