how to call for cctv into vb forms? please help me
Need more details, what CCTV? DVR Card, DVR Embedded, IP ... what are you asking exactly ..??
thanks for your reply, i'm doing a client-server project using vb6, i wanted to display real-time cctv image into my form, how can i do it? the cctv is on network.
I need to know what hardware you are using first. DVR Card, Network Camera?
Need the brand name also.
Or ar you doing something from scratch .. either way you need some hardware though .. typically you can buy something that already works, such as a DVR Card, Stand Alone DVR, Network Camera/Server .. most will already come with software, and what you would want to use is the ActiveX Control provided for their Browser Based feature (IE).
Ive done a few of these in the past; Kalatel Stand Alone DVRs, I-View PC DVR Cards, Eclipse PC DVR Cards, and More recently and the best one yet, GeoVision PC DVR Cards. Either way each brand's ActiveX will give you a different amount of "public" functions which you can utilize.
Another option is to look for hardware that comes with an SDK (Software Development Kit). Typically though you'd need to know C++, especially if it is an SDK from the hardware manufacturer. Some software companies also give out minimal SDK's, such as GeoVision.
Note that not all hardware will come with a web feature to begin with, and the cheap DVRs will not have an ActiveX Control available as they tend not to have a Browser Based feature.
ok, i'll checkup what the brand of my hardware.. it's a network cctv.. thanxs
