I am looking to put a camera on top of a building in the process of being built and stream it to a website. How would I go about doing this? Would I have to hook it up to a full-blown computer on-site? or can I just plug it into a DVR with an internet connection? What is involved with processing the stream?...
Is it possible to access the iSight camera on a macbook programatically? By this I mean I would like to be able to just grab still frames from the iSight camera on command and then do something with them. If so, is it only accessible using objective c, or could other languages be used as well? ...
In my C/C++ program, I'm using OpenCV to capture images from my webcam. The camera (Logitech QuickCam IM) can capture at resolutions 320x240, 640x480 and 1280x960. But, for some strange reason, OpenCV gives me images of resolution 320x240 only. Calls to change the resolution using cvSetCaptureProperty() with other resolution values just ...
I would like to bypass the web-server functionality of a Sony SNC-RZ30N network attached web cam and display the video feed in a Silverlight application. I can't seem to find any examples of interfacing with the camera programatically. Any leads would be much appreciated. Thx. Update 09/09/2008: Found a good site with Javascript exam...
What options do I have to publish Flash video from webcams other than Adobe's Flash Media Server and Red5? I would prefer a solution in .NET, Python or PHP but can't find anything. ...
Currently our team is partially distributed with several members not at our local office. We do a lot of collaboration, and have decided to move to using webcams. I've done this before where we've had dedicated video links, but that was typically point to point, connecting two rooms at a time. What solutions exist out there for having m...
I would like my website to record flvs using webcams. These flvs need to play smoothly so I can play with them afterwards, for example transcoding them to avis. I've tried many different servers to handle the flv recording. The resulting flvs play OK in Wimpy FLV Player, for example, except that the progress indicator doesn't move smoot...
I want my website to join some webcam recordings in FLV files (like this one). This needs to be done on Linux without user input. How do I do this? For simplicity's sake, I'll use the same flv as both inputs in hope of getting a flv that plays the same thing twice in a row. That should be easy enough, right? There's even a full code exa...
We are using a Sony SNC-RZ30N IP-based webcam to monitor osprey nests and would like to stream the video feed via our own webserver. Rather than use the built-in webserver of the camera (which requires either ActiveX or Java on the client side) to display the live feed, I would like to weed out just the live feed and display it on our c...
I want to connect to a USB Webcam in .NET, specifically using C#. Being new to .NET I don't know what kind of support there is in the standard libraries for doing so. I found one example on the web that copies bitmaps through the clipboard, but that seems very hacky (and probably slow). Is there a better way? ...
I'm working on a home project that involves comparing images to a database of images (using a quadrant - or so - histogram approach). I wanted to know what my options are in regards to web cams or other image capture devices that: Are easy to work with with the Windows SDK (particularly DirectShow, which I plan to use with C#) Have d...
I'm going to be building an application within the next six months that will be functioning as a 2-way video-conferencing system, as well as sharing some other data back and forth. I'll probably be using some sort of relatively expensive USB webcam, and am aware of the USB Video Class Device standard, which seems to the way to go. Now,...
I'd like to allow users to record videos directly from their webcam. I haven't done much work with PHP but am stuck with it for this project. We currently have a system in place for video uploading and encoding, but nothing to actually access a user's webcam. How would you recommend I proceed? ...
I'm looking for an OSX (or Linux?) application that can recieve data from a webcam/video-input and let you do some image processing on the pixels in something similar to c or python or perl, not that bothered about the processing language. I was considering throwing one together but figured I'd try and find one that exists already first...
Hello, I am making a program in C# to connect to a webcam and do some image manipulation with it. I have a working application that uses win32 api (avicap32.dll) to connect to the webcam and send messages to it that sends it to the clipboard. The problem is that, while accesible from paint, reading it from the program results in null poi...
Is there a simple library for .NET that has a simply API that let's you do something like; // pseudo-code List<Webcam> cams = Webcam.GetAll(); Image i = cams[0].GrabImage(); I've looked at DirectShow and WIA, both seem to be much more complicated than this. I've also looked at this CodeProject project, but it really is much more compl...
I've seen a few sites that have a flash app which takes video from the users webcam and manipulates it. One example is the flash barcode reader http://www.renaun.com/flex2/BarcodeReader/BarcodeReader.html . I want users to be able to submit 10-15 second clips which I can save to my server and then play back later via flash again. Can ...
How can I continuously capture images from a webcam? I want to experiment with object recognition (by maybe using java media framework). I was thinking of creating two threads one thread: Node 1: capture live image Node 2: save image as "1.jpg" Node 3: wait 5 seconds Node 4: repeat... other thread: Node 1: wait until image is c...
Is there any c library to get a video from the webcam on linux? ...
I want to be able to take still images with a web cam, via .NET 2.0 (or 3.5 if necessary). I know I can use DirectShow but that seems like a very large learning curve. Is there a simple to use OCX, or library that can work with most standard webcams? ...
