Acquire IP camera Video from website with LabVIEW

[tavocallecrespo]

Good night friends, I need help on a topic, I need to acquire the video of a generic IP camera installed on a local network to process your images, I started doing a embedded browser in a Labview VI. I can navigate through the front panel for all the web page of the IP camera and see what is showing. My problem is that I need to process these images and like the part where the camera is shown form part of the embedded browser -- it would be like an ActiveX object -- can not take this video from the IP camera directly to process it like if were acquired from any webcam. Help me with a solution please because I've searched countless forums and have not found an accurate solution. Thank you.
I attached the project so you can see what I have, in the part of the diagram where say 192.168.0.40 you can put any web address, but that's my IP camera in specific. Help me please!

And why can't you use NI-Vision to connect to it directly?

I can not use NI-Vision directly because is a generic IP camera and is not compatible with Labview, so the program does not detect it directly.

There are several IP camera to Direct Show filter drivers that will allow LabVIEW IMAQ acquisition to see and connect to the camera for at least life stream data. Anything else like controlling camera attributes is normally impossible due to the limited standard interface of Direct Show.

Hello,

This is the same question as in the forum

Basically you cant use any IP camera with NI software, just the brands of Axis and Basler. This is indicated in the next link

There are some metods to connect IP cameras with LabVIEW, next we have a third party emulator that help us to emulate a USB camera with our IP camera. we can do some test with this procedure:
