webcamXP and Grandtec wifi cameras
webcamXP is a powerful webcams and ip cameras management and streaming software for private and professional use. it offers unique features and unequalled ease of use to let you broadcast and manage multiple video sources on the same computer. it is the perfect tool to secure your goods.
A customer brought this software to our attention this week and I’ve been having a look at how to integrate with Grandtec’s range of wifi cameras.
I have two Grandtec wifi cameras configured on my network, one overlooking the back garden and the other overlooking my car at the front of the house.
So, visit the webcamxp website http://www.webcamxp.com/ and download the application and the documentation. Install the wlite125.exe file by following the instructions detailed in the documentation.
Connecting the camera
Right click in the main camera display area where you see the webcamxp logo and a message ‘No video source connected’, pick ‘Network Cameras’ > ‘Connect’. Choose Grandtec from the ‘Camera Brand’ dropdown. Then choose ‘Ip camera’ fron the ‘Camera Model’ list, click ‘Next’.
Type in the IP address of your camera, leave the Port set to 80, choose the ‘Cam Number’ (this relates to the number in the webcamxp application)
Tick the box requiring a password type in the username and password, (default is u:root - p:admin)
Choose the Max Frame Rate (10) and the Output Resoulution (648×480), click the ‘Test’ button to confirm the correct settings, once that’s configured properly click the ‘OK’ button.
Wait for a few seconds and your camera will connect, follow the same method for connecting any other cameras you have.
Here’s a screenshot of what to expect:-
We think that there is great flexibility and functionality with this application and encourage any comments and questions about this setup.
