IP address

[@nk]

Is it possible to control or get input from a dvr using it's IP address in LabVIEW if yes How can we do that.

Thanks in advance

You need to contact the manufacturer of the DVR.  LabVIEW is a programming language that will allow you to do pretty much anything, as long as the manufacturer of the device put the appropriate features into its device to allow you to do that.

I just want to know that is there any provision there to communicate to an instrument using it's IP address?

Of course. You have a palette for TCP/IP functions. You also have VISA.

Acutually I am using a dvr and how would I get the vedios from that using the TCP/IP functions?

[Dennis_Knutson]

As already said, you need to get that sort of information from the vendor. What didn't you understand about that answer?

I have contacted the manufacturer , it is possible to access that through browser using the IP address .

If it can do so ,it is possible by labview right? How to do that with LabVIEW

Can u mention some functions?

If you can query the information through a browser then the device speaks HTTP. HTTP is a text based protocol and can be implemented in LabVIEW too on top of the TCP/IP nodes. You may be able to use the HTTP client VIs to request the according page from the device, but will have to parse the returned HTML text for the information you need. Definitely doable but parsing a complicated format like HTML isn't exactly an ideal starter project to learn to use LabVIEW.
