Hi Xav,
Iv been looking into OpenCV, i can easily stream my laptops webcam using this code.
import cv2
cv2.namedWindow("preview")
vc = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
if vc.isOpened(): # try to get the first frame
rval, frame = vc.read()
else:
rval = False
while rval:
cv2.imshow("preview", frame)
rval, frame = vc.read()
key = cv2.waitKey(20)
if key == 27: # exit on ESC
break
However using the cv2.Videocapture(ip_address) method will not load my IP camera video feed into the new window. I can view the stream in any web browser or VLC using the IP address http://192.168.1.72:1025/videostream.cgi?user=&pwd=&resolution=8.
Did you have this issue? Is there some lines of code i may need to add?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks, Sam
