Internet Camera Integration (not standard webcam) [RESOLVED]

[pjrage]

I am wondering if anyone has experience with internet cameras and VB. From what I have seen on my internet camera so far, it cannot register as a regular camera device. It has two ways to view its feed. "ActiveX" and "Java." I simply want this feed into VB. Currently, I have a web browser that opens the java feed automatically. This is decent, but as you can imagine there are problems. I was hoping that there is a way to grab the ACTUAL feed from this internet camera as if it were a USB device (maybe some sort of virtual driver someway somehow?) and then I can just use code that is posted all over the net concerning regular webcams. Unfortunately it seems that these cameras are only intended for web use and I might be limited to having to stick with the web browser and keep editing all the html files to do what I need. This is such a sloppy way to do it, I wish I could fix it, any thoughts? (And it has to be an internet camera, because I am accessing it remotely).

Thank you for your suggestion and sorry to waste your time. But I have figured it out. I am using xplug.ocx which came with my dlink camera. I assume it can be applied to other cameras, or that other cameras come with their own activex control. This control is very easy to implement into VB. Thanks for your help!

Hi Sir/Madam,

I had seen your posting regarding internet cameras and VB, the issue is that I am also having a similar project dealing with the two. The camera is connected wirelessly through a router to the computer and I have to use VB to stream the videos from it. I am very new to VB and do not know how to use xplug.ocx, which is inside the Camera's disk. Please help!

Awaiting your response,
Dinesh.

Hi All,

I'm having problem with my software...i hve already here an existing software called "Chating System" and my problem is that i need to add additional function that supports video and audio. If you have an idea on how to do that please advice. I'm also planning to buy a software that supports video and audio for chating.

Please advice.

First, start a new thread for a new problem.

Second, do you have VB source code for the program?
