Active X control of D-Link DCS-2100+ Wireless Network Camera

Hello,
I need to periodically grab a still image from the above camera using LabVIEW 8+. I've seen some similar stuff on the forum regarding the use of activeX with other types of D-Link camera, but would like to know exactly which activeX control should be used, and where I can get it from.
The camera comes with some bundled surveillance software with a few dlls that it may be possible to register, to allow access to some functions, but has anybody else had a go at this?!
Previously I used a linksys camera which worked with the 80211netcam.ocx, but the activeX functionality was extremely limited and would not allow a snapshot to be downloaded directly by labview. Instead, I had to stream the video image into the front panel activeX container then perform a screendump which would then be cropped and saved to HDD. The whole process took at least 2 seconds, so the ability to get a pic directly to HDD from the camera without having to go through the above process would be extremely useful. I think it can be done using the D-Link, but need some pointers on how to create the ActiveX functionality.
Cheers
Chris

Hello Pepic,
I've attached a copy of the netcamplayer11g.ocx. Put this in C:/Windows/System 32, then run the following in the command line:
regsvr32 "C:\WINDOWS\system32\netcamplayer11g.ocx"
A message box will pop saying that registration has succeeded. Open up a new vi, put an empty activeX container on it and you should now be able to access the properties of the camera via activeX. Let me know if this works, and if you can see "snapshot" as one of those properties.
Best Regards

  • I have airport extreme and just purchased a D-Link DCS-932L home network camera.  D-Link says I need UpNp but the extreme doesn't support this.  Can I use port mapping?  if so anyone know how to set that up?  thanks

    I have airport extreme and just purchased a D-Link DCS-932L home network camera.  D-Link says I need UpNp but the extreme doesn't support this.  Can I use port mapping?  if so anyone know how to set that up?  thanks

    Since the D-Link DCS-932L is accessible on the local network via a web browser, you should be able to access this camera from the Internet if your router has a publically accessible Public IP address. If your ISP provides you with a dynamic Public IP address, you may want to use a DDNS service to make it easier for you to locate your camera whenever your ISP changes your IP address.
    Start the AirPort Utility > Select the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn).
    Select Manual Setup.
    Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
    Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
    Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
    For Service, leave the default; this will change to "Custom" once you start entering port values.
    In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your camera. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, enter the appropriate port values that should have been provided to you by the camera manufacturer. Click Continue.
    In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "Internet Camera Access," and then, click Done.
    Click on Update.
    To connect to the shared Camera from a remote location using a Mac or PC:
    Start your favorite web browser.
    Enter either your Public IP address or DDNS-provided Domain Name, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 7 of the previous procedure. For example: http://123.123.123.123:8888 or http://www.mydtdnsdomainname.com:8888

  • Alternative to Intel Wifi Link 5100 AGN wireless network card?

    I'm finding that my Intel 5100 AGN wireless network card is not performing as well as it used to.  I've tried everything... even drivers are fully up to date.  But I keep losing connection to my wireless router, even though connection strength is between 3-4 bars.  I find that I rarely get dropped if I have 5 bars.  But if it weakens to 3, I get periodically dropped no matter what wireless network I am using.
    I want to replace this card with something better, but of course compatible with the HP dv5 (my specific model is dv5t-1000).  Any recommendations?
    "If you keep an open mind, life will give you more possibilities."
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi, Gary:
    What I meant by my statement regarding you having the better of the available cards for your notebook is that, yes, I am sure the Intel 5300 is an improvement over the 5100, but the problem is you can't install the 5300 in your notebook.
    The Intel 5300 is not supported (only the cards/part numbers listed in the service manual can be installed) and your notebook wouldn't boot until you removed the card.
    You can try a different card listed in the manual if you want.
    However, you are limited to the:
    Broadcom 4322 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN module
    Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g WLAN module (not a wireless N card)
    I suppose you can use an external USB adapter but I would get one with an external antenna connected to it, because I would have to believe the 3 antenna wire setup in your notebook has to provide superior reception over a plain USB wireless adapter with an internal antenna as its only antenna.
    The antennas go all the way up to the top of your screen.
    Did you fiddle around with your network card's advanced settings?  They can be found by clicking on the card in the device manager, clicking on the advanced tab.  make a note of where the settings are now so if something goes buggy, you can change them back.
    Here is a guide to the advanced settings you have and the recommended settings for them.

  • How to use active X controls to read/write protect an excel or word document created by created by Save Report to File VI

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to creat a word and excel documents using Save Report to File VI. When wiring a password to this last VI, the document created are only protected against writing but not reading. How can I use active X controls to password protect these documents against reading?
    Thanks a bunch!
    O

    There is no predefined functionality available in LabVIEW. So you have to implement this on your own.
    It seems to me that you own the Office Report Generation Toolkit. You can use the Excel Get ActiveX References.vi from the Excel Specific >> Advanced palette to get access to the "generic" ActiveX Excel references. Starting from this point, you can use property and invoke nodes to get to the setting you are going to modify.
    Please refer to this link for information on Excel password protection. I have not searched for the object giving you access to those settings though....
    hope this helps,
    Norbert

  • AcroPdf Active X control with Reader 9.0

    Hi Guys,
    We have been developing a Windows .NET based solution that displays PDF files. We have been using the AcroPDF.dll active X component which further launches the AcroRd32.exe.
    Observations:
    1. Upon installation of Reader 9.0, we no longer see the AcroRd32.exe in the task manager.
    2. When we exit the application, we see an error message "Cannot read the memory at ...."
    Questions:
    1. Do we need a newer version of the Active X control? If yes, Where do we get this new version from?
    2. How has Adobe addressed issues of memory management in Reader 9.0?

    I just found the solution at the following link:
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...sing-problem-c It uses the following code:
        [System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("ole32.dll")]
        static extern void CoFreeUnusedLibraries();
        private void Form2_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
            if (axAcroPDF1 != null)
                axAcroPDF1.Dispose();                
                System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents();
                CoFreeUnusedLibraries(); 
    I used it, and found no errors :-)

  • Network Camera D-Link DCS 900 Integration

    Hello,
    I have a D-Link DCS 900 network camera which comes with an Internet Explorer live video feature. It has the ability of using an IP to which you can enter via the Internet or the Ethernet. (see picture below).
    Now, My question is this: I would like to get the video from the camera from within Labview in order to have control over its size, flip the image in 90 degrees if neccessary and so on.
    Can I do that with this camera ?

    Mic_Scale,
    I am not quite sure how the interface to your particular camera works, but I am fairly certain that you can pull the feed into LabVIEW. There is actually a related forum post discussing this type of application with your camera. It may be useful to read this thread concerning your application.
    Essentially your application will involve an ActiveX object and making calls to the object to retrieve the video. Because you have the camera driver installed on your machine, you will have access to the ActiveX methods and properties. Depending on the various properties and methods, you may be able to manipulate the image however you need. Please take a look at a the linked Developer Zone document for an overview of using ActiveX in LabVIEW.
    I hope this information is useful for you. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. Thanks,

  • How do I find the Quick time active x control?

    I can run run quick time when I am the user but when my husband is the user, he gets the message"could not load or find the Quick Time Active X control.
    dell   Windows XP  

    Hi Pedro d,
    Yes but no! I have tried everything step by step several times. Researching Error 46 on the web is scary business!! The gangsters are out in force on this one, begging to take your money! From a couple of trusted sites I have been able to make this much clear at least for Vista users, I'm using Windows 7 but I think they relate:
    "Since the issue causing the Error 46 is that QuickTime registry entries don't have the correct permissions set, the repair is to go and reset all the incorrect permissions. However, this is a long and tedious process. The SubInACL tool from Microsoft (see the link in Resources) can change the permissions as a batch. The batch is defined by a CMD file that lists all of the registry keys to be changed. Once SubInACL is installed on your computer, move the CMD file with all the registry changes into the same folder, typically C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools. Right-click the CMD file, choose "Properties," check "Run this Program in Compatibility Mode" and select "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)" from the drop-down menu. Click "OK." Do the same for SubInACL. When you're done, double-click on the CMD file and it will run. Your error should be gone."
    I don't have the expertise to do this, do you? I wish that Apple or someone would take the bull by the horns and fix this because what I've read their are a lot of people having this problem. Any thoughts on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

  • Certificate Authority, downloading Active X control

    Hello,
    My CA is in Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP2. The versión of CA is 5.2.
    I have the Windows Certificate server configurated in that server with a MMC 3.0, and also vía

  • Is an Apple ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter the same thing as an old Mini-DP to DVI adapter?

    Is an Apple ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter the same thing as an old Mini-DP to DVI adapter?

    Yes. A single-link DVI connection can't drive that monitor at its maximum resolution.

  • Controlling Cockpit (COCPCPR) link in Accounting tab (cProjects)

    Hi,
    How can I have the controlling cockpit (COCPCPR) link to appear in the accounting tab?
    I have been able to configure the services for other object links. However, we also want the cocpcpr link to appear under the "Accounting" tab so that a user can use this link to correct cockpit errors, if any, instead of logging in to the R3 system to correct them.
    Please advise.

    Hi Nk, thanks for responding.
    We are on PPM5.0, and have accounting intergration for automatic replication to PS.
    The replication works. However, we have the need to visit COCPCPR at times to remove warnings/errors.
    I have seen COCPCPR link appear under the cProjects Accounting tab earlier (in some other implementation).
    However, I don't see any such link/button in my implementation. We have implemented the object link services by which we are able to get to the object in R3 (in another system). However, the COCPCPR link does not appear under the Accouting tab.
    We have PPM and PS on different systems.
    Thanks.

  • D-Link DCS 900W - how to get it to work on my Mac?

    i'm new to network cameras - but i need to set up a surveillance system in my home to monitor my home while i am away. i recently returned a D-Link DCS 950G because this latest model didn't work with any other browser but IE6. Now i've got a DCS 900W, and ancient model which took me 2 days of frantic phone calls to locate, because this model appears in the list for both Evocam and Security Spy.
    i am none the wiser on how to get it set up - i think i need to initialise it right (duh?)? and i am drowning in the sea!
    can any hero help this dumb maiden set up the network cameras from step one to hey presto?

    i'm a little crazy now... i've got 4 macs..
    1) problems setting up camera:
    i've tried to set up my camera to work with two of my macs but could only get it running on the powermac g4 (adsl modem Aztech305). i've tried to get it going on my iBook g3 (Linksys routerWRT54G) but to no avail. i tried the same things but still nothing happened in the iBook. i couldn't logon to the IP of my camera to set it up on the iBook but the powermac g4 was ok. my g4 has an adsl modem and uses a different internet service provider from my iBook which is hooked up to a wireless router using a network shared by my 2 other macs. i was hoping to get the camera running wirelessly (hence the 900W).
    2) with the camera set up & running on the powermac g4, i can view everything on the g4 of course, buti can't view it remotely from my other macs.
    i think i am doing something wrong here but i don't know what?
