Using Open CV with a Network IP Camera

Hi there,

We are working on a project that requires us to use a network IP camera to detect objects. We have choosen to use same contour analysis code from a codeplex project (http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/196168/Contour-Analysis-for-Image-Recognition-in-C) . Unfortunately this code is written to accept a webcam input or a static picture. We are trying to modify it to accept a network IP camera (iQeye 510) but are having some problems of what to do. The capture method is :

private void StartCapture() { try { _capture = new Capture(); ApplyCamSettings(); } catch (NullReferenceException ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message); } }

Would you have any sugestions on how we get the MPEG stream instead of the the webcam? Sample code would be golden.

Thanks,

Andrew
