I've tried to make an error handler if a user provided invalid URL for an IP Cam.

try:
    cam = cv2.VideoCapture(user_config.CAMERA_IP)
except Exception, e:
    print "Unable to access camera"

However, OpenCV outputs a warning instead of error

warning: Error opening file (/build/opencv/modules/videoio/src/cap_ffmpeg_impl.hpp:856) warning: http://admin:[email protected]:80... (/build/opencv/modules/videoio/src/cap_ffmpeg_impl.hpp:857)

so it didn't get captured. Is there a way to handle this warning?

it does not throw an exception here, so you can't catch one.

you'll have to check:

if cam.isOpened():
    # proceed..

I"ve tried isOpened() but it didn't work with IP address. It still shows the warnings.

Okay it actually works. Just had to wait few seconds for it to come out
