I'm trying to find the URL for the live snapshot on a new Honeywell HBL6GR2 camera I am evaluating. I need to be able to pull the image as a jpg from a URL such as:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/image.jpg
I was told by Honeywell this was possible but can find nothing in the documentation (here), and their tech support has been useless as I bought direct and not through a "dealer."
I've found pages such as these and tried all combinations of URLs to get a JPG with no success:
https://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=Honeywell
http://www.camera-sdk.com/p_183-how-to-connect-to-your-honeywell-ip-camera-onvif.html
I can access the admin portal fine, but need a direct link to the live image on the camera (a custom port will be needed also, but that can wait).
How can I go about finding this URL (if it even exists)? I can't imagine this camera doesn't support this.
The standard is ONVIF. Per their documentation:
ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) is a global standard for the interoperability of IP-based physical security products.
You can enable or disable ONVIF authentication on the Setup > Network Setup > Connection > ONVIF page.
Try this:
https://www.onvif.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/ONVIF_WG-APG-Application_Programmers_Guide-1.pdf
Easiest way to figure this out is to install Onvif Device Manager and Wireshark.
Add your device to Onvif Device Manager with Wireshark running and then search the Wireshark for GetSnapshotUriResponse. This will give you the URL of the snapshot if it is indeed supported by the device

I'm having no luck at all accessing Youtube today. I get this when I try to access http://youtube.com:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to www.youtube.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
I am using the current version of Firefox - it just auto-updated earlier this week - on Windows 10. I haven't had any problems with Youtube previously.
I thought it might be the specific video I was trying to watch or maybe our internet connection but my brother, who is in the same house with me and is using the same network (except that he connects with ethernet while I am on WiFi) has no trouble at all accessing YouTube and playing the exact same video I'm trying to watch.
This is not the first tab I've opened to try to access Youtube today. The first tab I opened is still there. It actually started playing the video but stopped just 4 seconds into the video and has been loading ever since, a couple of hours now.
I'm baffled by what could be happening here. We aren't using any kind of VPN or proxy server. Does anyone have any ideas?
I'm really not sure what tags to use for this problem....
Try making a new profile with about:profiles and set it to default.
If its working, export your bookmarks from the old profile and import them again to your new profile.
in other words try to synchronize the profiles through Mozilla Account
this link can guide you to do it
Research On Firefox Extensions Connections
I have read the FAQ's on Firefox Extensions (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/faq) and have looked at their community forums for information but wasn't able to find anything on how extensions actually connect and collect your data.
The closest I found was the Mozilla Wiki page on data collection (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Data_Collection) but it only gives you the basic opt in/out data collection levels.
What I'm trying to understand:
If I'm using a manually configured anonymous proxy in Firefox, could the extension potentially send my actual IP address (not my proxy IP address) back to a third party?
Example: Translate Extension
For example, if I were to use the Google Translate for Firefox, would Google be able to see my original IP?
What I was thinking
Since the proxy is the only way for the browser to connect to the internet, the extension would have to use the proxy IP address to connect and thus, would only be able to see the proxy IP address. However, I would love to be sure that there is no back door or way of the extension revealing my original IP.
Any insight is greatly appreciated. We are not doing anything unethical, we just have to maintain separate IP usage for various clients and do not want to risk mixing their information. Thanks again.
Firefox extensions are usually not limited in what they can do, only extensions based on the WebExtensions framework are sandboxed - currently the majority of Firefox extensions is still either classic XUL-based extensions or based on the Add-on SDK, these don't have inherent restrictions. So in theory an extension can do lots of things in order to deanonymize you, for example:
Use nsIDNSService in order to retrieve your local IP address (usually, this address isn't valid outside your local network however).
Change browser settings, in particular disable your configured proxy server.
Use external command line tools in order to read out system information or send a request bypassing the browser.
Read files on your hard drive in order to find your name.
Note that Chrome also offers an API to modify browser's proxy settings extensions, and a similar API is planned for WebExtensions. So even sandboxing doesn't always protect against deanonymization, and you need to trust the extensions you are installing.
However, the extensions hosted on Addons.Mozilla.Org are usually reviewed by Mozilla (the ones that aren't reviewed yet have a yellow install button and a warning). One aspect that the reviewers look into is: does this add-on do what it claims to do or are there unexpected side-effects? Any unexpected functionality has to be strictly opt-in, with full explanation about the implications. This was introduced in 2009 as the No Surprises policy and works remarkably well. Chrome Web Store doesn't have any comparable policy.
I was hoping that someone with chromecast experience could help me with the following.
I want to make a simple digital signage application using chromecast. My plan is to set up a bunch of monitors with chromecast attached. Each monitor would point to a particular URL on the local network -- not a public facing web site. Each one would refresh its view every few minutes, completely replacing its content with the information on the web server.
I'd like to do this without mirroring, so that the chromecast itself would keep reloading the page without another device helping it along.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Maybe start with the Chromecast developer guide: https://developers.google.com/cast/
From here you could choose to use the API here: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/downloads
When you're ready to release it you probably need to register an API key with them for your sign app here: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/registration
Good luck with your app.
From the sounds of it, Greenscreen.io would be perfect for this application. Especially when you're running a local server.
I want to do a similar digital signage app, but ended up needing to go for Raspberry Pi's with wifi that connect to a public webpage. I'd have preferred to use Chromecast for it though!
I have the following problem to solve:
I few months ago I startet a website where you can watch youtube videos which aren't available in your country. Everythings works fine but now I want to offer a new method where I route all the requests directly over my server. Therefore I will later use a custom DNS-Server. Right now I use the hosts file for testing but I have really no idea how i can identify the user. I can promp the user user to login on a website but I will that it works systemwide so if he use a youtube downloader for example it have to work there either and not only in the browser where I could use a session system with cookies. I want a solution where the user can identify himself once in a time like a website or something like this but how can my server detect if this is a user which is logged in or if he is not?
There are several ways that this could be accomplished with varying levels of difficulty.
standard proxy server over https. Your service could simply be a proxy server and then every "client" would update their browser to point to your proxy server. You could also simplify this by using a proxy PAC file (proxy auto config).
An anonomyzing interface. The end user would not be able to use their standard search tools etc, instead they would have to use a web page much like what google translate does.
A browser plugin. There are already firefox plugins which do something similar to this. They change the way that the browser resolves DNS. This may be the best bet for you but would require development work.
An actual install utility that you have your users install on their machines which update the dns servers.
We would like to setup a small Wifi access point where we provide free internet in and around our store, with store banner pop ups added to any web content they browse using this net connection. What do we need to do this? I am expecting some kind of C# solution, but I can live with Java too.
you could try CoovaAP. It provides support for dd-wrt routers, and it is fairly easy to use and configure. I'm using it successfully at home.
Most Wifi access points allow to control access with a Radius server on the backend. To add some additional content you might consider using deloradius in combination with CoovaChilli.
You can try Socifi - free public WiFi advertising and monetization platform.
