Hey,
Iv installed OpenCV on my windows machine. I can successfully view the camera stream from my laptop so the installation was successful. However when i edited the code adding in the address of my IP camera like so....
import cv2
cv2.namedWindow("preview")
vc = cv2.VideoCapture('http://192.168.1.72:1025/videostream.cgiUSERNAMEANDPASSWORD')
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
When run, python tries to open the window to display the camera feed then closes before displaying the feed. Anyone have any ideas why? I read somewhere that there is an issue with this been run on windows?
Any insight would be appreciated! Im all googled out.
Thanks, Sam
