it's an 'ip camera', meaning, a camera that outputs on ethernet rather than video/audio or RF the camera has a 'web server' so a web browser opening http://192.168.1.102 gives a menu plus view of the camera so, an access to http://192.168.1.102 'snaps an image' and sends to browser (I think that's more or less what happens?) the camera also sends captured images to a file server/PC/NAS these 'ip cameras' differ from 'basic camera' that requires http access to 'snap image' to 'not so basic' that has 'stuff' running to push images to a storage device, either over ethernet, or, media card in the camera the camera I'm trying to access is from mobotix.com so, in a nutshell, it bolis down to: I have a 'http server' at this IP address, and, I wish to access it please ask more, I'll try to explain -- Voytek -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
