Windows Media Center & security Cameras

[gusto870]

Are there any Windows Media Center plugins that display video from security cameras? I have both ip and wired camers. I would like to display these feeds on my Media Center extenders. Thanks for any help.

Welcome to CocoonTech!

For your IP cameras, you could use something like mControl, which supports IP cameras. I ended up writing my own 'plugin', which is basically a HTML page (using the MCE SDK layout), which shows the latest snapshots my software took, but I guess, without too much hassle, you could display the live feed instead as well assuming your webcam software supports streaming.

Thank you for the info. I will try this tonight.

I do have Hai Media Center software. Is there a way to use that? Thanks again!

I am not familiar with the HAI Media Center plugin, but I am pretty sure it won't let you do that, especially after looking at the screenshot:
