FOSCAM cameras and Labview

[George961009]

Hi everyone!

I´m trying to use a pair of FOSCAM cameras with LabViEW, but I haven´t been able to connect this cameras with the software. Do you have any idea on how to connect them with LabVIEW and how to control them? It would be great if you could help me.

Thanks

Does this camera show up in NI MAX and Device Manager?
-Check whether you have Camera file, if not obtain one. Read more on:https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000YI74CAG&l=en-US

Hi!

First thing to do, install NI Vision drivers:

NI Vision Acquisition Software

But first you need to determine which of the three drivers that come with VAS you will need to know if youneed a license:

What Is the Difference Between NI-IMAQ, NI-IMAQdx, and NI-IMAQ I/O?

Finally, you may need to determine first if you require a previous version depending on your LabVIEW version

NI-IMAQdx Compatibility with Different LabVIEW Versions

Hope this helps,

Hello

You should ask the vendor if this camera supports the standards that the link below supports

The link shows the driver list so if the camera does not support those standards the drivers cannot connect with the hardware.
