I have been using this logic all the while. I was using standard webcam with cv2 (version 2.4.13)
cam = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
while(True):
ret,img = cam.read()
But i want to use IP camera in place of webcam. give a lead how to get around with IP camera in openCV+Python
just use your url instead of the camera id, like:
cam = cv2.VideoCapture('192.168.0.17/my/stream.mjpeg')
Code :
cam =cv2.VideoCapture('http://192.168.1.4:8080/video')
while(True):
ret,img = cam.read();
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
...
Error :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Face rocog project\Face recog
sqllite\datasetCreator.py", line 33,
in <module>
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
error: ..\..\..\..\opencv\modules\imgproc\src\color.cpp:3739:
error: (-215) scn == 3 || scn == 4
in function cv::cvtColor
It is working fine with VideoCapture(0) but having this error with ip cam
