One example:
I want to display the local weather from the Weather.com:
Navigate in Internet Explorer to the map you would like to view...
Right click on the weather map and go to "Properties", copy the "URL" to the image...
In the RM_Setup software, create a camera and select "Custom" in the top drop down box...
Name the camera what you would like it to be called, and paste the copied URL into the URL text box...
Set the "Camera Stream Type:" to Image Capture...
Set the "Update interval" to 10-15 minutes(Weather.com updates these images every 10 to 15 minutes)...
The creation of the camera is complete, now you just need to "SEND" the video to all of the touch screens/ElkRM...
This feature can be used to download all sorts of imagery from the WEB. I use it to download stock reports from Yahoo Finance and family portraits that are on my WebSite.
If you wanted to set up an MJPEG camera, instead of selecting "CUSTOM" for the camera type, you would select the specific type of camera that you want to look at... Put in it's IP address/Port Number... UserName/Password(if any)... Setup is complete... SEND the Video...
There is a Panasonic BL-C10A camera on Elk's website if you would like to test the MJPEG stream...
Create a new camera:
Select Panasonic BL-C10A for the camera Type...
Name the camera whatever you like...

PORT: 80
UserName: democam
Password: elkcam
Setup is complete... Send the Video...
The RM_Setup software is included with the ElkRM installable version found at the following link:

Please note that the ElkRM manual is divided into several sections that explain using and setting up the ElkRM/RM_Setup software. It was made in sections so the installer can strip out pages that he does not wish to provide to the home owner.
Please post any new functionality that you use the video for(Such as Weather/Stocks)...
