Im trying to capture video thats transmitted from a Sony IPELA IP cam (SNC-RZ25N) thats transmitted over TCP/IP. This is where Im at:
-The video works with the cams built-in web server page. As does their controls for Pan, Tilt, etc. The seem to have hidden whatever applet they use to display the video as I can't seem to discern it from the received page source and their web server won't let me in to browse the files. Of course Sony doesn't give any support for development using their cam, only the manuals which do give GET and POST protocols for doing all the commands and info on the video format but lacks any resonable level of actual examples of doing much of anything. So from their point of view u need to be a sockets programmer to get the video?
- I can control the cams pan, tilt, zoom, etc from a page I put together using XMLhttpRequest object. I can also turn on the video this way.
- I can see that the video is transmitting of the ethernet by using Wireshark. Cam is set to transmit on port 50000 and to direct the video to port 30000 on the destination IP. As far as I know(?) All looks good. but.....
- I can't seem to get any video to display on anything on a web page. I tried IFrames (as Sony states these are directly supported). I tried to redirect the ported video frames to Windows Media Player (she no works).
- So, what I think is that I need some application like a frame grabber to do this. Anyone have any experience with this? and if so, any recommendations?
Thanks in advance for your help.
