Still in Development? #4

Are you still working on this library? I am building a VSaaS application not like any other except one, which is AVHS and provided by AXIS. Their application lacks a lot of features, is horribly written and in the United States, requires you to go through a 3rd party to maintain a license. My small business is part of the AXIS Developer Network and I am using their one-click component for my application. I have video streams setup running through the one-click component using a 3rd party media server behind the scenes and displaying the video using a Flash player. I have been trying to reverse engineer the AVHS PHP MJPEG code however, I have not had much luck getting it to work with multiple cameras at one-time. I was wondering if you might be interested in helping me push your library here to work with the one-click component. I am new to NodeJS and really only do heavy JavaScript on the frontend. The most NodeJS I have written is a small API and an automated task runner to take snapshots of cameras based on a day and time.

I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

I don't actively work on this project anymore unfortunately, but I can take a quick look on compatibility with the one-click component and what may be necessary to get it going. Is documentation on the one-click component available online?

So far node-vapix only implements basic image and motion jpeg requests. The VAPIX API is well-documented, so extending it shouldn't be difficult though.

Unfortunately the One-Click Component documentation is not readily available online due to the licensing requirements and contracts with AXIS to gain access to it however, if you would like to e-mail me directly, we can discuss further and I can possibly pay you for your time. I am only interested in getting MJPEG streaming working at this time. With your knowledge, it shouldn't take much more to get it going. Thank you. (development at recoilnetworks dot com)
