get an image from USB cam without NI VIsion Acquisition

[MaxEngee]

HI

I am looking for a way to capture images from USB cam without using a paid library ImaxDx for Labview.

Have you any ideas?

Hello MaxEngee

Off hand, I suppose you could run the third party capture software in the background and have a LabVIEW scan the target directy for changes/new images and import the image as necessary.

In the mean time, if you install the NI Vision Acquisition Software, you do have a 30-day trial period so perhaps you may consider exploring the environment to see if it is right for you.

Thank you for choosing National Instruments!

I have found http://sine.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5030.

This is free driver for USB cam for Labview

Hi MaxEngee,

Does it really "free" coz as I know it's part of NI Vision package that's quite expensive :(. Can you post your code example

Thank you in advance!!!
