Script for accessing a webcam from a remote location
Script for accessing a webcam from a remote location
Hello, I need a way to monitor my 3D printer using a webcam. Long prints sometimes last 24 to 36 hours, and I want to check them periodically. I've tried noip.com but it doesn't work, and other options haven't helped either. I just need a reliable method to view the camera feed on my phone or another PC. I'm a bit confused about how to proceed. Thanks!
I’m not familiar with various tools that don’t run constantly; you could use them for live streaming and keep it private. However, I believe the most straightforward, reliable option is purchasing an affordable IP camera. They tend to be more affordable in the US than Canada. Check out this link: http://www.ncix.com/detail/trendnet-tv-i...9-1083.htm. It includes cloud access for your camera on local networks, over the internet, and downloadable apps for iOS and Android. Just connect it via a power adapter, link it to Wi-Fi or Ethernet, set up passwords and IDs, and you’re good to go without needing a third-party DNS service like noip. Visit retailer sites and search “IP camera” while confirming it offers the features you need—Wi-Fi, Ethernet, online management, and possibly a separate display for LAN connections.
