iPhone as IP camera in LabVIEW

[fg.attila]

Hey,

I have been trying to connect my iPhone's camera to LabVIEW as an IP camera. I managed to get  astream in VLC and found some apps that made my phone visible in NI Max, however in Labview I did not have any option to choose that camera only the built in facetime one (integrated in mac). Does anyone know any chep/free app for iphone and a corresponding drive for windows? Any suggestions are welcome!

Thank you in advance!

I used a DirectShow Video Source Filter for JPEG and M-JPEG IP Cameras, if you google this, the first find should give you the required file. After just download an app onto your iphone that "transforms" it into an IP camera, then using the IP address given by the app you should be able to test it in VLC. If it works when using the IMAQdx Open Camera VI, you should have it as an option to choose it (CAM1 - 2 etc).
