Controlling Hours of Access to Embedded Network Camera
I have an Axis network (IP) camera that I would like to embed in my website. Axis provides the code (see below), and it works. However, I would like to limit the hours during the day when people have access to view the camera (or, alternatively, the web page where the camera appears). I would like to limit the hours to Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. E.S.T.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I have only rudimentary knowledge of code, so if you have any suggestions, it would be helpful if you could provided any suggested changes or additions to the existing code below.
I am also open to other suggestions for accomplishing the same goal. Thanks in advance.
Code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
// Set the BaseURL to the URL of your camera
var BaseURL = "http://98.242.185.88:4956/";
// DisplayWidth & DisplayHeight specifies the displayed width & height of the image.
// You may change these numbers, the effect will be a stretched or a shrunk image
var DisplayWidth = "640";
var DisplayHeight = "480";
// This is the path to the image generating file inside the camera itself
var File = "axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=640x480";
// No changes required below this point
var output = "";
if ((navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") &&
(navigator.platform != "MacPPC") && (navigator.platform != "Mac68k"))
{
// If Internet Explorer under Windows then use ActiveX
output = '<OBJECT ID="Player" width='
output += DisplayWidth;
output += ' height=';
output += DisplayHeight;
output += ' CLASSID="CLSID:DE625294-70E6-45ED-B895-CFFA13AEB044" ';
output += 'CODEBASE="';
output += BaseURL;
output += 'activex/AMC.cab#version=5,6,2,2">';

output += '<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="0">';
output += '<param name="ShowToolbar" value="0">';
output += '<param name="AutoStart" value="1">';
output += '<param name="StretchToFit" value="1">';
// Remove the // for the ptz settings below to use the code for click-in-image.
// output += '<param name="PTZControlURL" value="';
// output += BaseURL;
// output += '/axis-cgi/com/ptz.cgi?camera=1">';
// output += '<param name="UIMode" value="ptz-relative">'; // or "ptz-absolute"
output += '<BR><B>Axis Media Control</B><BR>';
output += 'The AXIS Media Control, which enables you ';
output += 'to view live image streams in Microsoft Internet';
output += ' Explorer, could not be registered on your computer.';
output += '<BR></OBJECT>';
} else {
// If not IE for Windows use the browser itself to display
theDate = new Date();
output = '<IMG SRC="';
output += BaseURL;
output += File;
output += '&dummy=' + theDate.getTime().toString(10);
output += '" HEIGHT="';
output += DisplayHeight;
output += '" WIDTH="';
output += DisplayWidth;
output += '" ALT="Camera Image">';
}
document.write(output);
document.Player.ToolbarConfiguration = "play,+snapshot,+fullscreen"
// Remove the // below to use the code for Motion Detection.
// document.Player.UIMode = "MDConfig";
// document.Player.MotionConfigURL = "/axis-cgi/operator/param.cgi?ImageSource=0"
// document.Player.MotionDataURL = "/axis-cgi/motion/motiondata.cgi";
</SCRIPT>
