Hi everyone,
I have been reading the wiki and my question is:
To access the video stream outside of my network (I can access it from any
computer within my network) I was looking for doc on whether the only way to do
this was via Port forwarding on the router. Is this the only way to do it? I
see that one can set authentication and this is what I would like to enable
also.
webcontrol_authentication
* Type: String
* Range / Valid values: Max 4095 characters
* Default: Not defined
This parameter establishes the username and password to use for the stream. The
syntax is username:password
stream_auth_method
* Type: Integer
* Range / Valid values: 0, 1, 2
* Default: 0
This parameter establishes desired authentication method for the stream port.
The parameters have the following meaning.
* 0 = disabled
* 1 = Basic authentication
* 2 = MD5 digest (the safer authentication)
Note that if you are enabling the webcontrol feature of Motion, you really
really really ... should enable security authentications. No. Seriously. You
really should. See the security warnings in this document regarding how it
completely opens up your system.
I'm investigating using motion instead of OpenCV as this will be part of a
drone delivery function. Dispatcher needs to see the landing zone and give the
go ahead to land, and I want to investigate the detection functionality event
messaging of Motion in the event an animal or human enters the video feed
during landing. FYI: We have an onboard linux computer that is using a wifi
puck for internet connection at the moment.
Thanks for any suggestions and help with my question.
Edan Cain

I use apache & php to access videos saved by motion via the web. I access a
snapshot from 7 cameras on a web page and refresh it every few seconds and
it's password protected.

Port forwarding would be the standard mechanism for routing external (HTTP)
requests to an internal machine for a device on an internal network.
Authentication should be relatively straightforward to enable by supplying
the password(s) in the config file for the various endpoints you want to
open up (eg streaming/webpage).
