Re: network cameras



If you can capture the bits from an IP based camera over the network to a file on disk, you could submit the results to Podcast Producer. This is less than optimal, as you will achieve higher quality capturing at the source, then submitting the file to Podcast Producer. There are software tools for recording IP webcams, and the resulting files could be submitted via Podcast Capture (or the underlying podcast command-line utility).

Podcast Producer has built-in support for "camera agents" that are bound to the server. Apple provides a solution based on Leopard for setting up a camera agent. For example, a Mac Mini could be configured to capture audio and optionally video sources. The resulting file will be submitted to Podcast Producer. This is a feature of Podcast Producer. In this case, the file is recorded locally on the Mac, then transferred to Podcast Producer. Camera agents can be controlled remotely via the Podcast Capture application, the podcast command-line utility, or a front-end to the podcast command such as the Podcast Producer web controller on MacLearning.org.

I did hear at a conference (Educause 2007, Seattle) where Apple was leading a demo of PcP and they explicitly said you could use IP cameras. However, I have yet to find any documentation or anything in the program that would lead to binding an IP camera. We've purchased an IP camera and have had zero success binding it - obviously. If someone has done this, I'm very interested in it's possible.

For some reason, our Apple contacts have been less-than-helpful in the matter. Perhaps the demo execs jumped the gun a bit and this is meant for a later release?

I really wish this were the case but I have not figured out how. I have an Axis 214 that outputs mpeg4 or motion jpeg and I'm stuck using it with windows. If anyone does figure this out, please post and let us know.

Hi,

I could have sworn that I read somewhere that you could use IP based network cameras with PcP. Is this still the case?
