Hi everyone:
I m doing a project named telerobot. I need to solve the client-server problem.
My case...
There is 2 terminal, client and server. Server is connected to a USB camera and a robot which will doing something according to the command received from client.

My problem...

1. Is it possible to use visual basic to streaming the video from USB camera (server) to client over internet? please help .. or it could only be programs using Java (video thru applet)? please help..i only hv very-basic knowledge on these programming language.

2. That is OK to request client to install the video-viewing program available from host
please give some guide on how to program it..
video streaming directly from server to client, without upload to ftp, need any technique?

i really need to know how to program it using VB..
please...please help :confused: :confused: :confused:

Sorry, I don't know how to help you but am curious to know if you have figured this out.

Whats the name of the webcam ..? What software do they provide ..? Is there an activeX ..?

If there is an activeX you maybe able to make your own GUi for it, then add a seperate server and client VB software just for your own personal commands .. etc .. integrate them both into your custom GUI ..

Ive customised GUIs for CCTV DVRs for remote video .. using their activeX controls .. the active X for these are all written in C++ though .. I just used the functions available and customised a GUI .. (see my home page link for an example)

Hi:

Thanks for willing to help.
