how to acquire video from 3s vision IP camera

[Nando88]

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to configure the vision acquisition, so I can acquire video from an IP Camera (3S vision IP Camera)?

I tried to use an IP camera dapter, but that didn't work. I currently can only acquire video from my webcam.

Can someone please help me out?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Nando88,

 National Instruments only supports Basler and Axis IP Cameras as part of NI-IMAQdx. There is an IP Camera Adapter which emulates the functionality of a USB webcam. I assume this is the IP Camera Adapter you are referring to in your post. This adpater is not oficially supported by National Instruments and does not work very well for all IP Cameras. This adpater will help you stream video from your camera directly to LabVIEW, like in this example. If you want to acquire separte images you will need to use property nodes to take a screen capture, save that to an image file and then open that file as an IMAQ image. You have to go through all these steps because that IP camera is not supported by the NI-IMAQdx driver.

I hope this helps.

Cheers

I used IP camera adapter and webcam 7 pro, and I couldn't get the IP camera to work with these softwares. do you know if there is another third party application that will let me convert an IP camera to a local pc camera, so I can use it with labview?

I currently need to get this working, in order for me to use five 3s vision cameras.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Nando88,

Are you able to connect with your camera without the adapter?

Are you able to stream video from your IP camera using a web browser?

Does running the adpater throw an error?

I currently don't have any information regarding another adapter you could use so I recommend you make sure the IP Adapter provided does not work.

Cheers.
