How to configure an IP camera

[lignis]

Hi people,

My university has bought an IP camera and I couldn't configure it for labview/ Vision Assistant/Measurement & Automation.

The camera works fine when we use a browser and then points to its address.

I couldn't find any documentation.

It is a 100 Mbps.

It's not a NI equipament

Do you have any documentation?

Let me know if you have any question.

Regards,

Leandro

Well, what protocol does it work on? You will need to figure that out and see if NI manufactures any drivers that can be then used to communicate with the camera.

Hi Adnan

Protocols: HTTP, SMTP, FTP, UDP, ARP, ICMP, BOOTP, DNS, DHCP, TCP/IP, DDNS, UPnP, PPPoE

I took a look at the supported cameras page and they say they must be a GigE Vision Standard. It's not.

Probably there isn't any specific driver to communicate with this camera. However, Is there any generic driver or way to communicate with any camera?

Camera: TV-IP100

Thank you

Leandro

Well, you will need to figure out what protocol does the camera use to communicate with an external system and figure out if that protocol is supported in LabVIEW. So, for example, if it's TCP/IP, then you can use the TCP/IP functions in LabVIEW to send commands to the camera and get information back.
