ARC is a free-to-use robot programming software that makes servo automation, computer vision, autonomous navigation, and artificial intelligence easy.
You can if there is an IP Camera to DirectShow driver/filter. In the video world, they call the drivers "Filters". It's more like an "adapter" or "interface" which conforms the video to a standard.
Hi,i just got my ez-b in and can't get ip camera to work with DirectShow driver/filter. I tried a foscam and panasonic bl camera no luck at all.Need to get ip camera to work because computer running ARC is now with robot (using WiFi and 3 miles apart)
I am guessing that your IP cam is not jpeg or mjpeg....that is the case I have with one of mine. Both the programs above can set up a connector/filter/driver whatever you want to call it to bridge the video stream to a detectable video interface within EZB. Both of these have freeware versions but they are limited with what you can do. I am actually considering buying the webcamxp (webcam 7).
the one I have is a FOSCAM and is mjpeg as well. good luck with it...let me know and I can look at how I set mine up....but it did work for me....aside from the watermark......not sure how to get rid of that.
Glad to hear it...was just about to fire up the gear! Awesome....I am not sure how to get the watermark off....I think you have get the PRO version...but I am not sure.
We use DirectShow, because it's fast and accessable. I am not sure, but i think this might be a filter: http://www.webcamxp.com/download.aspx
