How to get live stream for DCS-4603

<< < (2/2)

tmichon@greenfieldsavings:
Thanks, I will look into using a generic user account.  I think guest is already set up as I tried creating it a few days ago.  Do you know the password for the guest user?  I'll try that first.

GreenBay42:
There is not a default Guest user. If you created the user "guest" you would have set up the password. Log in as admin and look under User List to see if it is there.

tmichon@greenfieldsavings:
I tried to create "guest" a while back, it popped up saying it already existed.  I did create another guest account and logged in with it and it most likely will be what I use.  I just have to figure out the syntax to allow people when clicking on a shortcut to pass the logon info so they don't have to.  I'm not talking about using the video1.mjpeg link you mentioned earlier.  The stream link is just choppy while the live view is smooth.

**EDIT**
I figured out the stream choppiness and so far using the stream link, viewing it seems to work well enough.
However, http://username:password@IPaddress:port/stream1.mjpeg does not pass the logon info.  You are still
prompted to enter the guest login info.  Any ideas?


On a separate note, when I received the camera, there was no power supply included.  Do you know how
I can get D Link to send me one?

GreenBay42:
I got word last night that the newer cameras due to security reasons require a username and password for viewing video so unfortunately no way around it (with a direct url).

Several model cameras do not include a power adapter since it is Power over Ethernet. They can be purchased separately.

It needs a 12V DC, 1.5A power supply. Amazon sells a bunch.

For example - https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-DCS-4602EV-DCS-4603-DCS-4701E-DCS-4802E/dp/B075S2Y4J9

I looked on D-Link's site and do not see power supplies for the Vigilance line of cameras which is strange.

tmichon@greenfieldsavings:
OK, thanks for the info.  I'll work out the logistics logging in.

I'm surprised about the power though.  Not everyone uses POE and though that's how
I'm using it now, where I plan to deploy it I need to have it powered off manually sometimes.
