Camera Contol

I want to control my ptz cams or at minimum be able to view them on my touch panel. They are Java based. I know how to use the motion Jpeg image but in this case I cant do that how else can I control them or at least view?

it depends upon the camera. What/which brand are you speaking of?

In the cameras set up pages see if there are html examples for your setup like in this picture for an Axis Camera setup. In this set up once you select your stream type, image size, etc it will issue a url where that setup can be fetched from. (bottom of picture)
The pdf I read said it supports MJPEG Steams which I assume meant streams so it should be viewable via dynamo, dynamic image. Control may be a little tricky w/o an api of HTTP commands but once you find them or figure them out you'll need to open an HTTP connection every time you want to issue a command. The connection will need to close before you can open another connection to issue another command. I can show you examples for axis cameras but you need command suitable for your camera. Maybe try sniffing with wireshark, it shouldn't take that long.
I've never tried this and don't know if or how it works.
