How to make streaming by VLC through Wifi in DM385 IPNC

Hello,

Can you try this command "ifconfig -a" and check what ipaddress is getting assigned?

Also, you can change by using this command "ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.101"

In additon, please join the local modem using command

> iw wlan0 scan | grep SSID

> iw wlan0 connect <SSID>

After successful execution of this, please connect the PC or laptop to same rauter and put your PC/Laptop to sattuc IP mode and assign other ipaddress like 192.168.1.10

Now you should be able to stream from VLS< but need to ensure PC/Laptop, IPNC and Ruter are in same subnetmask and same network

Regards,

Raghu

Our setting:

Set GatewayIP at router, IPNC and PC/Laptop : 192.168.1.1

subnet mask of all of them: 255.255.255.0

IP address of IPNC: 192.168.1.101

IP address of PC/Laptop: 192.168.1.10

Hi Raghu,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I have successfully setup the Wifi module.

I can ping from my PC to DM385 IPNC and ping back too.

Everything is fine with the Wifi Module.

But the problem is the streaming server wis-streamer was bound to port eth0, and I can not bind it to wlan0.

I want to bind it to port wlan0 and streaming to my PC with VLC.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Ivy

Ivy,

You need to enter the ip address of the wlan0 in the VLC player, this will ping the wlan0 ipaddr for video data.

wis-streamer inturn will bind the wlan0 based on the ipaddr requested to be streamed.

We are able to do streaming via wired as well as wifi at same time using our local setup 

Howver, there is one point to note, for alarm setting feature of IPNC where it will trigger and save the data to SDCARD when Wired network is removed (stopping/halting streaming) . So please have always wired network connected so that this alarm is not triggered. 

You can remove this dependency based on your requirement and needs of the product

Raghu

Hi Raghu,

Thank you very much for the reply.

It still does not work.

Please see my procedure below.

1)  When system is on, wis-streamer was bound to 192.168.1.168

rtsp://192.168.1.168:8557/PSIA/Streaming/channels/2?videoCodecType=H.264

2) # ifconfig wlan0 up

# iw wlan0 connect ivylan

# ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.101

# ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.2

# ifconfig

I can ping to my PC 192.168.1.100 at this time.

But after I tried to use VLC to get the URL rtsp://192.168.1.101:8557/PSIA/Streaming/channels/2?videoCodecType=H.264, I can not ping successfully from DM385 to my PC anymore.

Hello,

Can you please put the camera to static IP mode but turning the switch on IPNC to '4' on the IPNC panel?

Once this is done ,  please connect the wired cable to PC and IPcamera and open the webGUI in internet explorer 

In network page, please open the network page and assign the new IP address

Now, open the webpage with new addresses to check if this is fine

Regards,

Raghu

Hello,

Also, please esnure that wired setup is active all the time with active IP addr when you are testing wifi streaming

Else this will go to SDCARD saving mode only as it detects that primary network is broken

Regards,

Raghu

Hi Raghu,

Sorry for the late reply.

I have changed my ethernet static IP address and SDcard was always in.

But I still can not access webpage and make streaming by VLC throughh wifi, it alway has error below. 

wl1271_sdio mmc0:0001:2: sdio write failed (-84)

Thanks and Best Regards,

Ivy

Hello Ivy,

I suspect that the WiFI card in it mihgt have some issues, can you check in the box if the card is making proper contact (need to open the box for this)

Else, you might need to send it to APpro for repair and check for hardware issue with the wifi card

Regards,

Raghu

Hi Raghu,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I will try to open it.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Ivy

Hi Raghu,

I have opened the box and reconnected the card.

But that problem is still there.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Ivy
