Hello.
Feedback from VIOFO-support: they are sorry for the inconvenience regarding this issue but wanted me to again exercise the procedure exactly as described in
here.
I first didn`t want to jump through that hoop again for that evening i did that so many times, but because hope dies last ... ^^
And today it worked. Flawlessly.
So this is what you get:
1.) Access to the cam´s card file-directory via a browser and viewing the live-stream of the cam in the usual preview quality at the same time.
2.) One can connect several pcs. of A139pros to, in my case, 1pc. of Laptop and open each camera´s videostream in it´s own VLC-player window. They don´t stumble over their so many legs.
3.) The time-lag is nearly 1sec.
4.) Extending the distance between Laptop and cams the WLAN-wire eventually ripps. The blue Wifi-LEDs on the cams then start flashing instead of shining continuously and the women living in the cams tells `Wifi disconnected´ but in station-mode there´s no 10min. timeout and the cams are going on waiting for some device asking for their service until the batteries die. The videostream in the VLC-player(s) stops with the last known good picture while the error-box coming up telling VLC cannot open this or that stream. When shortening the distance to the cams at some point the Lady in the cams announces "Wifi connected" and the videostream(s) in the VLCs start locomoting again.
5.) All image controls like saturation, gamma, contrast of the VLC-player can be used to work on the livestream, but, as mentioned under 6.) their effects cannot be recorded, it will only be recorded the livestream as it´s delivered by the cam.
6.) With that litte record-button of the VLC-player one can record the livestream like with a tape-recorder, START, STOP, done.
7.) One thing that´s annoying: As soon as my UMTS-modul in my laptop looses grip on the internetz, everything goes down the toilet, WLAN, hotspot, camera-stream. When that UMTS-thing catches up again, one has to activate the hotspot again and then wait for the cameras to reconnect. Which is one thing i do not understand, because, what´s WLAN/Wifi/hotspot got to do with the interwebs? I usually think these are driving on seperate roads? Remove the sim and WLAN should keep on rolling Oo!?
So, now that this cliff is circumnavigated, it´s time for external ... antennas.
Thanks to SirVival for kicking me to that hotspot-thing on my portable computer. And to VIOFO for so firmly believing in my late-bloomer qualities ...
