Problem viewing a USB camera by web publishing

[irving84]

Hi i'm a student in singapore polytechnic and i need help with my project.

I have a problem wth viewing my USB camera remotely using my partners laptop. He was able to see the front panel and can control but can't view the video. I was able to view the video on my own labview but not my partner's. We did installed the "LabVIEW Run-time Engine" + "Vision Run-time Engine" in our computers but still no display on the USB camera. 

The VI i was using is the example given by NI-Imaq USB Grab.vi

Anyone can help thanks?

Hello Irving,

thank you so much for your post on our webforum. Which version of Labview are you using?

I think what you need on the target PC is the correct driver; the vision run-time engine is for vision components from the vision development module. For USB cams there is a http://sine.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5030  , please note that this driver is integrated in the lates vision acquisiion software (2009; NI IMAQdx); please refer the top of the page.

I hope this will help you further, please give me some version information (Labview, vision, vision acquisition) from both the development PC and the target PC.

Best regards,

Oh yea i currently have Labview 8.6 student version installed and in my partner laptop too.

Actually we already have already installed 'ni_imaq_usb_installer_86.exe' too but only i can only view it through my com.

I want to know that we might need to 'Broadcast' the USB camera so that a client can view it through his computer ?

Thanks for your help 🙂

Anyone knows how to view a USB camera remotely through another computer ?

I have installed all the lastest drivers + runtime engin but still unable to view it. 

Do i need to do a broadcast for my USB camera so that i view it through "Connect to remote panel" or "Web Publishing Tool" ?

Hello Irving,

on the PC with the camera you need to publish the VI to the web and then you need to connect through remote panel . Remote panels is just one methode, this KB will explain more  methods.

Hope this helps,

Best regards,
