Toshiba IK-WB16A
Posted: Fri Nov 23, 2018 2:33 pm
I have a couple of Toshiba IK-WB16A security cameras that I would like to be able to use with Linux and perhaps with Raspbian on a Pi. As a result I downloaded the Xeoma software hoping that there might be a chance of using it with the IK-WB16A. It was very easy to have it show the video on a Linux box but I could not find a way to use PTZ or do any configuration of the camera. The URL, "https://felenasoft.com/xeoma/en/camerasupport/#T" lists Toshiba with no model numbers so one would assume it would work with all model numbers but I have a feeling that is not the case. Is the IK-WB16A supported?
I suspect that since in Windows you need to use IE with an ActiveX plugin, there is absolutely no chance that it will ever work with any Linux software, but before I toss in the towel and look for new (non Toshiba) IP cameras I thought I would exhaust all possibilities first.
If this has been discussed before, my apologies, but the forum search function seems to be not working.
