looks like you need the actual software on the pc your looking at it from, but having said that you should be able to access them from a far. What make camera are they? Do they support remote connection?

'application/octet-stream'
Hmm, what browser are you using?

yeah they definetely support remote connections as thats the purpose they were bought for but not sure on make and model of cameras

regarding the binary file..ive tried every possible way of checking for a file to open a video stream thats outputted from the camera's

surely you dont need to run the software on every computer, it should load up an interface with the 4 camera's on it in a webpage

hmm, if its showing the MIME type as 'application/octet-stream'
Then i think you may have to open the file with an external application as octet-stream is usually just code which only a certain application understands

Whats the file ext?

there didnt appear to be one.thats the thing puttin me off lol :(

i tried opening the application/octet-stream with the program supplied to watch the camera's on a remote machine(on the network) and screen was just blank :(
