Add IP camera input source #38
Comments
This is good to know. |
Actually, I think (but not recently tested on this version of software) that IP camera are already supported! |
PS: the only limitation in the current GUI, is that it does not let you enter manually a URL / PATH. This is very easy to change... |
I will add the option to specify manually the URL. |
Yes, change in the GUI is what I meant : ) Yes, move to #36 |

OpenCV comes with support for IP Cameras out of the box (I believe this is the case if OpenCV was compiled with FFmpeg support). Since in our build instructions we include ffmpeg, we can provide an option to use an IP camera as video source. The user just has to provide a URL to the video source.
Please see this simple example of how to get frame-by-frame visuals from an IP camera: http://answers.opencv.org/question/58360/ip-camera-with-opencv-c/ .
PS: for your information, IP cameras utilize the RTSP protocol. This protocol is supported by many video players, such as VLC media player.
