HAI Camera Server and Pronto TSU9400?

[BryanE]

I have a client interested in viewing their surveillance cameras on their Pronto TSU9400. At Cedia, when HAI showcased their new Camera Server, they showed surveillance on the TSU9400. When I went to download the ProntoScript on the Philips site, surveillance was not included.

So my question is... where can I find the Prontoscript to interface with the HAI Camera Server?

I tried calling HAI tech support but they were clueless (sorry HAI but it wasn't a good experience). I hate to go with Axis because the client wants to keep cost to a minimum, plus the HAI product appears to have better specs.

Bryan,

Currently the Camera Server Support isn't integrated in the Prontoscript module, although it's something we are looking into. I can't give you a date on when it will be there, but I've looked at some of the other modules out there, and you could certainly tailor them (or write your own) to support the HAI Camera Server. They work by requesting a JPG image one after another to give the effect of full motion. You could edit an existing module to request the URL for the HAI Camera Server. It should be fairly easy to do, and I don't see why it wouldn't work. I've included the URL below

Thanks Aaron, I'll mess around with the Panasonic IP camera script to see if I can get it working. Based on the following video, I thought HAI already had this working and available:

Brian,

Sorry for the confusion. What you're seeing is a demo pronto project, that was designed to simulate someones house. The IP camera used was a Panasonic, that module is available off the Pronto website. What he was showing was how you can use the Pronto to bring all the different elements together (HAI Controller, IR A/V devices, and Cameras).
