capture video according to motion detector wireless in labview

[Dhaliwal]

HI

I am new to labview and this NI forums so basically new to everything and i might sound like as if i am asking stupid questions.

This is my final year capstone project, For that i have to capture video according to motion detor response wirelss using labview. So how would i go about that.

Hello,

To start off, what kind of camera are you looking to use? This is how you would capture video with Vision Acquisition Software. Some additional information on choosing a camera is here. After that, what exactly do you mean by capturing according to wireless motion detector? Are you looking to send a digital trigger to start image acquisitions (video)? More specifications are necessary to properly determine your needs.

Thanks for replying.

I don't really think that it would matter what kind of camera I am using as long as it transmits single(looking to use USB).

So whenever the motion detector detects movement, the video camera would start recording video automatically. And everything has to be wireless.(the program would see if there is movement after every 45 seconds and if there is movement then it would continue to record otherwise it would stop the recording automatically.)

As the picture shows, for the first part -- I would have motion detector connected with microprocessor(any kind of pic) and microprocessor to video camera(so it would be like one circuit).

and then the second part -- receiver would be connected to PC and whenever the camera starts recording video it would save the recorded video on harddisk.

Thanks.

Hello,

In order to be "wireless" with a camera, you would need to use a GigE Vision camera connected to a wireless router. Technically, you could do everything with the camera and eliminate the motion sensor. You could continuously acquire images and compare them to detect motion. The result of the comparison would then determine whether you recorded for a set time or not.
