Interface IP Camera using Visual C++ (Fitivision / Encore)

[pvintal]

Hi all.

I would like to ask if it is possible to interface the ip camera in C++?
(w/o internet connection, connected locally)

models and links here:

(Fitivision model ICS101a)

(Encore model ENVCWI-G1)

It seems that the camera that we have does not have an API or SDK. I've asked their customer support but all they gave me were CGI scripts.

I would like to know how to use interface this camera.. We intend to use it in our design project and we do not need it to be connected to the internet. I'm also using opencv library for the project (if it matters).

Hoping you can point me into the right direction. Thank you in advance and have a great day!

After days of trying to access the camera, still no go.

Last question though, the camera has an active x control named "ultracam jcam". Does anyone have an idea on how to use this active x control?

you should be able to access then over cgi stream as network video stream.. Look over how VLC works

have seen components for .net studio for these. some forum members have made there own software solutions.. (40thfloor)

thank you for your suggestion sadik!

i was able to access the camera using VLC by including the username and password for my camera.
something like:
http://uname:pword@169.254.1.1:80/cgi/mjpeg/mjpeg.cgi

now I'm trying to include my login details (uname and pword) using c++.

thanks again!
