Topic: Dual Cams, or alternate

Good evening all,
Going through an old night stand I busted out my old Sony Dash, installed Chumby and began experimenting with some apps. I have IP cameras connected to a DVR. Is there a way to make Dual Cams, or another IP camera widget route to and view one of these cameras. Would like to be able to set Chumby near the door and see the camera outside the door.

Thanks ahead of time,

Re: Dual Cams, or alternate

The built-in ability to support cams is limited to cams that produce JPEG on PNG image sequences.

To do more than that, you'd have to add support in the operating system for additional media types, typically MPEG4 or MJPEG streams, which would probably involve building some device drivers and libraries, and an app to play them.
