Ip Cam Connection And Integration To ARC

Hi, I am new to EZB but I read much about it and I think we can benefit a lot out the HW and SW tools available.

I would like to have access to wifi ip cams single and multiple if possible , integrate it to the EZB software and use cam functionalities with ezb. I already ordered the wifi module to be able to connect using wifi at home. Your help is appreciated.

Yes and no.

To use the camera you will need to be able to see the camera as a device in Windows. There are programs out there which allow this but you'll need to google for them, I don't know any off the top of my head. It was a popular topic on ustream so there may be a good place to start.

However, it may be just a case of putting the IP address in the camera control video device box - I don't have one to check that but it wouldn't surprise me if DJ has put something in ARC to allow that.

If it's a pan/tilt camera you can also use those functions through ARC if the pan/tilt has an API. You can use the HTTPGet() function to send or receive information to/from the camera. You would need to know the API commands though. I recall seeing an old post about that somewhere on here, a search should bring it up.

Hope that's of some use:)

Thanks Rich it is really useful topic I will start with it and see how it goes . However, I still need to look for a tool to assign the ipcam to a virtual port that EZB can detect and utilize other features BR

If its a jpeg stream, you can paste the URL in the camera device and press enter.
