How can I get an image from a network stream?
I have a streaming web-camera in my office, it is a proprietary consumer electronics product, I did not build it, and I have a somewhat limited access to programing its underlying hardware.
The stream is at (http://someIP/videostream.cgi?user=z&...)
UPDATE: The camera is a FOSSCAM F18910W
and is formated as a series of jpegs. is there any way I can have OpenCV read a network stream? how would I set that up?
Videocapture is able to read the stream if it receives the proper string. What is the camera manufacturer/model? My suggestion is to visit this page, search for your camera model, and see if you can find that proper url. As your camera seems to be publicly accessible, I can take a look (if you give the model, of course)
the listing to the camera, I changed, its a limited user any how.
@j0h please be informed that the public URL is still active the update history of the question (/cc @StevenPuttemans )
