I thought that such accessibility was the reason Axis touted their camera's
web page interface. They claim that anybody anywhere on the internet can
view what is going on within its view by simply aiming their web browser at
it. To me that suggests you should be able to hook the camera to your
switch, set your router to allow the camera to tunnel out, and place a link
to the live image within your existing web page (possibly within a frame
although I detest using that kludge).

If you view your video through the browser by pointing it at the ip
address then just look at the source code of the page.

put a copy of that page on your website, but any references in the
source that points to its internal ip address point those to your
external ip address and then make sure that port 80 is passed by your
router/modem to the camera ip address.

This won't work if you have a Dynamic IP based ISP. You will need to go
here: http://dyndns.org and get a Dynamic IP addy (free).

You then change the settings in your camera. You set the Domain name to what
ever you chose, E.G. http://sloppycam.dyndns.org, and then enable Dynamic
DNS in the "DNS" portion of the camera setup. In the "network" setup you
will need to set the DNS to the IP number (given by Dyndns.org) for your
new dynamic DNS and then change the IP assignment to:

Here's an example for mine:

Select the IP assignment to for LAN to "manually"

IP address: 192.168.1.100 < You can change

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 <Same as router

Default Gatewway: 192.168.1.1 <Same as router

Next step is to set the port forwarding in your router to those numbers
above and it should work.

Last step is to cut and paste code like you mentioned but you will have to
change the URL part to what ever URL name you chose back at
http://dyndns.org (E.G. http://sloppycam.dyndns.org)

I think the easiest solution is webcam software such as
http://www.ispy.nl/products/webcam32/webcam32_info.html or
http://www.webcamsoft.com/en/ezcast.html . Google around and you will find
quite a bit of info (webcam software, streaming live video etc.)

Nice thing about my IP cam is that i don't have to keep my computer running
while it streams to my website! I think that's what Tony has in mind.

Thanks guys

The problem that I have is that my employer seems to be blocking all
port address that I have used to view my netcam, currently its set to
port 1024. I'm not using it on the default port 80 because I am
webserving on that port, So what I thought about doing was some how to
rechannel the netcam through port 80 via a webpage, dunno if this
makes sense but its the only way that I could think of to allow me to
view the netcam.
I have a webpage served by IIs5 via WindowsXP Pro, this is working
well, my ISP unfortunatly issues dynamic IP address so I've subscribed
to a " no-ip.info" address..

If you can think of a better way for me to see the netcam via port 80
please tell me.... I need all the help that I can get..

Try running the webcam on port 443, which is normally used for
SSL. If you use the Apache webserver, I htink you can do some
redirection on port 80.
