Vision project questions

[Mehdi_Bouzid]

Someones has   Labview 8.5 Professional and Labview PDA 8.5 Module.

He needs to make an application on which he  will use an IP Camera, and he is  wondring what he needs for that as software.

1- could Labview communicate with the IP Camera through the Ethernet card?

2- does he needs additional modules to develop the appliquation (vision module) or he needs only the IMAQ driver

3- What are the supported cameras?

4- could he implement his application in the PDA? ( wirless capabilities)

Thank you

As far as I can understand:

1- Yes, through IMAQdx if camera is GigE Vision compliant, or through camera API (ActiveX probably) if camera have proprietary protocol.

2- You will need Vision Acquisition Software for acquisition (if camera GigE Vision compatible). VDM is not necessary if you don't need extended functionality.

3- Any GigE Vision compatible camera supported.

4- No, not with VAS at least.

thanks ANDREY,

for the 4th question, is there any solution to deploy his application into a PDA?

thanks

I think no. You need to install IMAQdx driver to the target PDA, and I guess, you will get some troubles with this action. In additional, you will need INTEL Gigabit network card for high performance driver.

You could possibly develop a thin client that accepts images. We're working on soemthing similar right now, and are having limited success (but success indeed!). We're developing an AJAX front end, so you don't need the LabVIEW Run-time engine installed. We're working through the imaging bit right now, but we're having great success with sending data via web services so far. Could be something to check into.
