The Meye or Vmeyesuper is possible to run as a google chrome extension. In order to do this you need to install the Google chrome, the Archon extension for the browser and chromeos-apk. Then you need to download the apk and with chromeos-apk convert it to a google chrome extension by: chromeos-apk vmeyesuper.apk --archon. Then you need to load Archon and the converted apk as unpacked extension to google chrome.

With current release of chromeos-apk you will need to add 'message': 'VM', to the extname section of the messages.json file like this:

In case of Ubuntu then you can search in dash for VMeyesuper or whatever name you gave to the application in extname section.

You can use VLC, it has Linux, Windows, Android,.. versions.

Install it on Ubuntu with

This ensures that you also install all plugins.

Open VLC and in the menu media click on Open Network Stream, or use the shortcut Ctrl+n.

Now you can input your streaming address and configurations, e.g.:

Further documentation can be found on the VLC web page or using

If your DVR supports rtsp, you can monitor multiple channels via vlc plugin in firefox.

Create a blank html file with following content:

Replace the IP address and USER, PWD in the links:

with your data. You can also amend the rtsp link accordingly to match your DVR.

You can install Play on Linux (POL), then install the IE6 only.

After installation in the settings install the vcrun6 libraries (this includes mfc42.dll as well).

Then run your OCX setup software supplied with your DVR in the POL settings Miscellaneous pane - run exe file in this virtual drive and install the OCX.

After successful setup of OCX run the Internet Explorer, type in your DVR address and log in. You should be able to see the cameras after login.

IE7 or IE8 in Play on linux are not doing so well in terms of compatibility with wine and combined with DVR ocx. You can try it, whether it works with your DVR. If the IE crashes, you may try different version of the DVR OCX software, which worked for me at least.

You can install it also via automatic script in POL: WEB Surveillance DVR OCX with Internet Explorer 6: https://www.playonlinux.com/en/app-2604-WEB_Surveillance_DVR_OCX_with_Internet_Explorer_6.html

The problem is because the dvr uses a OCX (activex) controller that must be installed and only in iexplorer. It would be nice to have a program like Meye (used on iphone, bberry, android, etc.) maybe is possible using a emulator of these mobile systems, and then load Meye to see the cams on DVR.

AndroVM runs Android in a virtual machine, so you can use mEye (or some of the many variants). I've just installed it on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and it works just like an Android phone or tablet - but, unfortunately, the camera image is not displayed in mEye.

Perhaps this can be solved via configuration tweaks or in the next version of AndroVM.
