webcam-capture-driver-ipcam

This is IP camera driver for Webcam Capture project. It allows Webcam Capture to handle pictures from IP cameras supporting JPEG and MJPEG (Motion JPEG) compression and therefore can work in two modes - PULL for JPEG and PUSH for MJPEG.

What are the differences between those two modes:

  • PULL - will request new JPEG image each time when it is required,
  • PUSH - stream Motion JPEG in real time and serve newest image on-demand.

Support for few IP cameras is build-in, that list includes:

If you would like to have more IP cameras supported, please create new issue, describe the camera model, provide demo URL and API if available. You can also create your own IP camera class. In such a case please use provided models as a reference. In case of any issues don't hesitate to ask for help :) Later, when your class is ready, I will be happy to merge it with official distribution.

Maven

<dependency>
	<groupId>com.github.sarxos</groupId>
	<artifactId>webcam-capture-driver-ipcam</artifactId>
	<version>0.3.5</version>
</parent>

If you are not using Maven, then here you can download ZIP containing all required 3rd-party JARs.

Examples

Few real live examples of how to use Webcam Capture together with IP camera driver. Please note that some URLs can be out-of-date when you test this code, however you can find some usable IP camera demos googling "ip camera demo" or accessing this page.

Example 1

Example of how to display image from B7210 bullet IP camera by Zavio in JPanel inside JFrame window (QVGA image size is used).

IpCamDevice ipcam = new B7210("B7210", "114.32.216.24");
ipcam.setAuth(new IpCamAuth("demo", "demo"));
ipcam.setSize(B7210.SIZE_QVGA);
		
IpCamDriver driver = new IpCamDriver();
driver.register(ipcam);

Webcam.setDriver(driver);

WebcamPanel panel = new WebcamPanel(Webcam.getDefault());
panel.setFPS(0.5); // 1 frame per 2 seconds

JFrame f = new JFrame("Night Tree Somewhere");
f.add(panel);
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

Night Tree Somewhere

Example 2

Example of how to handle image from any IP camera supporting JPEG compression:

String address = "http://www.dasding.de/ext/webcam/webcam770.php?cam=1";
IpCamDevice livecam = new IpCamDevice("dasding", new URL(address), IpCamMode.PULL);

IpCamDriver driver = new IpCamDriver();
driver.register(livecam);

Webcam.setDriver(driver);

WebcamPanel panel = new WebcamPanel(Webcam.getWebcams().get(0));
panel.setFPS(5);

JFrame f = new JFrame("Dasding Studio Live IP Camera");
f.add(panel);
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

Dasding Studio Live IP Camera

Example 3

Example of how to handle image from any IP camera supporting MJPEG compression. Here we are handling stream from the beach of Lignano (Italy) from an AXIS 213 PTZ Network Camera.

String address = "http://88.37.116.138/mjpg/video.mjpg ";
IpCamDevice livecam = new IpCamDevice("Lignano Beach", new URL(address), IpCamMode.PUSH);

IpCamDriver driver = new IpCamDriver();
driver.register(livecam);

Webcam.setDriver(driver);

WebcamPanel panel = new WebcamPanel(Webcam.getWebcams().get(0));
panel.setFPS(1);

JFrame f = new JFrame("Live Views From Lignano Beach (Italy)");
f.add(panel);
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

Lignano Beach

Need More Examples ???

Using Webcam Capture you can save images in files, display in Swing components, upload to 3rd-party servers, etc. Actually, having BufferedImage in your hand you can do with it whatever you want. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you will need more examples.
