Detect when the ipCamera is unplugged opencv
I aware that this is a topic, but I tried many solutions and for me it does not works, for that I put my specific case. I am working with an Ipcamera, and I have this code in C++:
cv::VideoCapture cap("http://127.0.0.1:80/videostream.cgi?resolution=320x240&rate=0& user=admin&pwd=admin&.mjpg");
//while we keep connected to the ip camera, we process the frames we receive
if (!cap.isOpened())
{
cout<<"NO INTERNET"<<endl;
//cap.release();
fallo=true;
v1=0;
pthread_exit(NULL);
}
while ( cap.isOpened())
{
//we get the frame from the ip camera
//cap.read(frame);
if(fallo==true)
fallo=false;
cv::Mat3b frame;
if(!cap.read(frame))
{
cout << "UNPLUGGED";
cout << "UNPLUGGED";
pthread_exit(NULL);
}
cap >> frame;
//if the frame is empty we break
if(frame.empty()) break;
//we show the video frame in "video" window
cv::imshow("Front", frame);
if(v1 == 1){
v1 = 0;
pthread_exit(NULL);
}
//To close the window
if(cv::waitKey(20) >= 0) break;
}
}
What I want is to know when the camera is unplugged, because I want to release the thread for throw another camera without problems. But is imposible detected it.
I tried with this:
if(!cap.read(frame))
But nothing, I tried to put an cout after while but also nothing happend, and even I tried to put the while inside of a trybut again nothing.
My question is How can I detect that the camera is disconnected?
Many Thanks
