Directly accessing a D-Link IP Camera

[Andrew_Hensley]

Is there a way to directly access a IP camera. Know there is a block that can input the password and user name but I don't know what it is. Can someone explain to how I can directly access an IP Camera in addition to what that block is called.

Thank You,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I assume you are trying to access the camera either through MAX or LabVIEW. This would require the use of our NI-IMAQdx driver. Unfortunately, our IMAQdx IP camera support is limited to cameras manufactured by Basler and Axis. Please take a look at the following link for further clarification.

So, I do not believe you will be able to access your D-Link IP camera through our software. I apologize for whatever inconvenience this may cause.

Best regards,

Hello, I can't remember any specifics, at the time I created this thread I was working on my senior project in college, and I am since graduated and working with a company that I do not use any labview at. What I can tell you is that in order for us to get it working was we had a TCP/IP camera from DLINK (one of the ones that DLInk provides that allows you to log in to and view the camera the Internet). And in labview I essentially made a browser window to access the internet. I set the DLINK site as my homepage for the labview broswer, that way when I started my labview the browser would automatically be ready to be logged into on the DLINK website. At the time, if you DID NOT want to use a browser window, there were only 2 cameras that will work directly to Labview. LAbview has a block that you can use to accept a camera feed directly, but I have not experimented with it as the browser window is much more conveinant. I'll be glad to convey any other knowledge that I still have, but like I said there isn't many specifics as to labview that I remember.

Hi Zhaopaul, 

If you are using the D-Link IP Camera, it seems that it is not supported hardware. The workaround suggested by Andrew was to use a web browser in LabVIEW to log into the camera and pull images from that. Here is a basic browser example: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2042

You also might have more luck posting a new question with detailed information on what hardware you are using and what problems you are experiencing.

hi! Nathanael,

thank you for your reply. So I can not accessing the d-link ip camera. but I have another question, if I cannot connect to the internet, when I use a web browser in LabVIEW to log into the camera.How should I do?

Hi Zhao, 

If you can view the camera in another browser, such as Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, you should be able to do the same with the LabVIEW ActiveX browser, by connecting directly to the camera's IP address.
