The basic test is an output from ps. It must show the nightviewd:
debian:~/nightview/shell$ ps axwwu | grep nightview USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND ... root 664 0.0 0.7 2856 920 pts/1 S 19:05 0:08 ./nightviewd f 1774 0.0 0.4 1556 540 pts/2 S 23:53 0:00 grep nightview ...
Ok. Nightview server runs. Than we can run the nightview-test script. It was developed to the simple tests of basic functionality of the nightview daemon and clients. Switch camera on and run it. Type to run it:
i@hell:~$ /usr/bin/nightview-test
The complete local environment (server and clients run on the same computer) will be tested. The http server can be down during this test.
If your camera works locally, you can try connect over internet. Use -host option in command line.
