Search for ip camera

Hello,

I would like to add a function to my application that would search an ip
range for network cameras, however I'm not sure how to go about it. I could
try pinging every ip but then I wouldn't know if it were an ip camera or an
other device, another option would be to try and look up a webpage on the
camera's build in webserver but that seems like quite a hassle. Anybody got
any good tips ?

thx

You need google to get the descption of how to get image from the cam that
have separate IP address. But I can't remember when I saw such kind of
cameras. It's too rare case.
Usually, cam is plugged by USB/COM and by default you can't reach them from
from the external IP

I am doing some robotics projects but my main area of interest is trying out several algorithms for the processing of the stream of data coming from the video. I am wondering what type of camera I should invest in. Either I could buy a web cam and hope I can find a driver I could either modify or use. i.e. every frame is somehow stored on the computer automagically or I could buy a camera not unlike the AVRcam...

I have this Pentax Optio camera and I want to access it via vb.net. I would like to write something where I can snap the picture from the application and it automatically acquires the image from the camera and displays it. I found a couple sample apps out there. One is a WIA app but it does not see my camera. One is a TWAIN application and it also does not see my camera. I do not see any drivers on Pentax's site that talk about WIA or...

Hi guys and girls. I can't seem to figure this one out. Here is my setup: Speedtouch 536 DSL Modem, Nexxt 4 Port Wireless Router, CNET CIC 920W Wireless IP Camera. The camera is set up in wireless mode and any computer on the wireless or local area network can see the camera and access the video. The setup went perfect for the internal network. But I cannot for the life of me see why the configurations I have set to see the camera...

You're going to need to start with the driver for the camera - otherwise, your application might run into problems finding where the video is. Next, search (i.e. Google) into Twain Aquire sources. "Elliot" wrote:

Okay, so I have setup a scene in Java. I have 2 points. The first point is always 0,0,0. The second point is the camera position and can be any positive or negative values for x,y,z. Now what I want to do is have a function 'centerCameraView' which will modify the camera angle values, and will put the first point (0,0,0) in the center of the camera's view. So I guess as much as anything I am looking for pseudo code. Any help would be great,...

Hey there. I have made a new camera system and I'm having a sort-of issue. The attached image (Untitled.jpg) will be the image I refer to when I say pink, orange, green or whatever.

I am concerned, because I would expect the cube in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
