use a web browser as the source for the vision assistant

[Nando88]

I want to access an ip camera over the internet and then use its video feed to do some processing with the vision assistant. I was wondering if someone could tell me if this is possible and how can it be done. what I have so far is an application that works with local cameras and I also have an example of a web broser in labview. I thought I could use the web browser and use a local variable from the browser in order to get the image, but this can't be wired to the grab or snap, because its not an image, so can someone please tell me how to convert the browser into a video feed, in order for me to use it in my application.

Hi Nando88, 

This is an example on how to get a print screen from the PC and saveit as an image. You can do something like this.

Hope this info helps you to make your application.

I thought about this, but the thing is that if I use the print screen, I would use the image resolution of the screen itself and not the one from the camera. I really need to use the screen resolution from the camera, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Crop the image out of the print screen.  I imagine your screen will be a much larger resolution then the camer, and will only take up a portion of your browser window.
