Search for ip camera

[Cé]

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
