We have Sony security cameras which have an inbuilt web server, giving a web interface to view and control the camera. We would like to integrate the camera picture into a Java web application, is there a way to connect to the camera from my code?
I see plenty of generic software (for PC, PDA, Iphone etc) whereby you just tell the software your camera model and IP address and it will pull in the camera image - obviously it talks to the camera and bypasses the web interface because you it just gives the image, not the whole web interface. How do these programs work and how can I replicate that?
