DVR&Wireless cctv Camera

I have cctv wireless camera and I use the USB DVR to show the picture
in the my labtop.
but now I want to use this camera in the labview but I don't know how to work the cctv camera in labview ?
please help.

Hi tyryeer,
As natasftw said, we would need more information. If this is a USB 2.0 camera, it is possible we will be able to talk to it in LabVIEW using the NI IMAQdx driver, if it is DirectShow compatible. IMAQdx does require a license. We do also support USB 3.0 Vision and GigE Vision, in addition to FireWire (though that can get really messy on Windows 7 as Microsoft dropped support for FireWire).
For more information on support camera buses and standards with NI software/hardware, see these two resources as a start:

Another possibility is that the camera manufacturer includes DLLs or already has made a LabVIEW API and driver to talk to the camera. Do you know if either of these exist?
Thanks!

  • WIreless CCTV camera interference

    Hi,
    I have just noticed that a new wireless camera system I have installed seems to interfere with my Netgear 834N wireless router. In fact, I can't see the router when I switch them on.
    The receiver & cameras all work on the following channels according to the instructions:
    2.414ghz, 2.432ghz, 2.450ghz, 2.468ghz
    Any advice as to what to do, as I have found in my Netgear control panel there is a channel selector which is currently selected to 5 adn I have 1 - 5 channels to choose from and Auto.
    thanks

  • View CCTV Cameras through Airport Express?

    I am quite perplexed by this situation.
    My system is a Cox Modem connected to > an Airport Extreme (connected to my Mac) > and a new Airport Express (wireless connection) that extends my wifi.
    My generic DVR (with CCTV cameras) is connected > to the Airport Express by wire through the LAN Ethernet port.  I'd like to view the cameras over the Internet.
    There are several moving parts that I have been tinkering with such as open ports, dynamic IP addresses, and other things.  It seems as though I have read so much (and some of it old) that I have scrambled my brains trying to distill this into a simple task.  All the hardware is the latest generation.
    I am most grateful for any suggestions.

    Hello Ed,
    If you could, can you connect the DVR to the Airport Extreme via ethernet, either by moving it or a long CatV cable.  The net question is, your DVR, is it on the same IP range as your rest of the network?  Is it set to DHCP or have you set it to a Static IP address?  Personally, once you know that you can talk to the DVR over your network, I'd set the DVR to a Static IP address and reserve the address in the Airport (under settings).
    If you know the IP address of the DVR can you ping the DVR?  If using a Mac and using Mavericks then try this to find Network Utility (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5897).  I wouldn't mess about with opening ports until you can see the DVR from your internal network.  Once you have it as you like then I'd go and setup your port forwarding.
    Personally as well, depend on the capacity of the DVR and cameras, I wouldn't recommend streaming your DVR using the Airport Express to your Airport Extreme.  Just means your wireless is clogged up constantly streaming heavy load of video, which may mean your other wireless devices get slowed down as to accessing the internet...

  • Connecting a wireless nanny cam to iMac - no RCA connection

    I have just migrated from the PC to Mac world. I have a wireless nanny cam that I use to record to my PC (like a DVR) by installing in my PC a DVR/PCI card that has RCA input jacks. A receiver would connect into the RCA jacks and thus receive the wireless camera signal. I now use an iMac
    Obviously I can't install a PCI card on my iMac and it doesn't have RCA inputs either, so how would I receive a signal on my iMac from a wireless camera? It is not a camera that has its own IP address. I thought that since the latest iMacs are able to pick up wireless router signals for internet connectivity, that it could also be configured for a wireless camera that transmits a signal. Do I have any hope? FYI, the software used to manage the camera recordings is called Pico 2000.

    You can use El Gato's EyeTV 250.
    It has RCA input so you can hook up your Nanny Cam receiver and record to your HD.
    Plus,you can connect your cable TV and watch and record shows on the iMac.

  • 110 Wireless Security Camera Solution

    Listed below is what we need to quote our end user (school)....if the setup is even possible.
    110 Wireless IP Cameras (2.8Gbps)
    DVR/Server/Routers
    Any other necessary hardware
    Does anyone have any insight on this topic?  I haven't had the opportunity to quote any surveillance systems this large before.
    Thanks!

    There are some challenges in reaching a 110 camera solution.  Things you need to plan for with a Cisco Small Business solution:
    * You have two options for the wireless camera.  WVC210 & WVC2300.  For security applications include low-light & no-light (with IR illuminators) conditions, the best option is the WVC2300.  You can also customize the lens on the WVC2300 to match your field of view needs for each individual camera.  Both WVC210 and WVC2300 are indoor cameras.  If you need cameras outdoors, the PVC2300 and PVC300 are excellent options which support POE.
    * For management software, all the cameras come with SWVMS16.  This has the ability to manage, view, record, and playback 16 cameras at once.  For a 110 camera solution, you'd need to deploy 7 windows computers running SWVMS16.  Technically feasible, but managing each application would a burden.  If you can break down the monitoring into sections/categories that might make this step easeier.  Even the common 3rd party Video Management Software from ONSSI, Nuuo, & Milestone don't scale to 110 cameras without having to buy their enterprise level central management system software.
    * Besides the video management software, you'll need enough storage capacity to store the video.  This will depend on the complexity of the video stream (how well the codec can compress the data), resolution, and frames per second.  If we assume 250Kbps per camera x 110 cameras = 27500 Kbps total.  You'd need over 6TB of storage to hold just under 21 days of video.  You'll want to make sure the data is protected in a NAS or server with RAID.  You'll also need to make sure the NAS or server can handle the incoming bandwidth.  If not you'll need multiple storage devices.
    * You need wireless access points that can handle the number of clients and bandwidth needed.  Will depend on physical layout of the 110 cameras.
    * You need switches to connect all the access points to the network.
    There is definitely alot to define in a solution this large.

  • I got a CCTV camera. On the side is says 'NATIONAL CCTV LENS 8mm F1.2. Can I connect that to my macbook pro? How?

    I got a CCTV camera. On the side is says 'NATIONAL CCTV LENS 8mm F1.2' can I connect that to my macBook pro? How? I'm doing a project and I need to connect the camera to my Macbook pro. I also need to be able to see what the camera sees at the same time. How do I dont this? PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    It depends on what connections the camera has. If it has USB, just plug it in. If it is networked, put the camera on the network and then access it from your Mac using whatever software or browser access is directed by the camera instructions. If it has a purely video or analog connection (coaxial, RCA, etc), you will need some kind of video interface in addition to the Mac.

  • Wireless Network Cameras

    Can anyone explaing to me step-by-step, how to attach a wireless video camera to my network and have my Mac recognize it. I just returned to amazom.com my Linksys wvc54g cause mac won't recognize it. I would like to use Evocam or Security Spy, or IveZeen in order to record wireless video.
    Is anyone out there knowledgable about this keeping in mind that most of us are novices at networking. I set up my Linksys router to my Airport extreme card in my G5, and it's working fine. Only, I want to purchase a wireless camera, ( a D-Link 900W I hear works).
    Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I have been using Macs since 1984 so I am a little familiar with all the other aspects of my G5.
    Thanks in advance for your replys.

    I googled "wireless network camera for mac" and came up with, among others, this:

  • LAN IP keeps changing on my wireless internet camera using Linksys E1200 router

    Although it was working fine for about a month the LAN IP for my wireless internet camera now keeps changing almost on a daily basis for no apparent reason.   I am currently away from home and am unable to access the camera for live coverage until I determine and reset the IP.   Fortunately the camera is working and still sending emails on motion detection which includes a note with the IP which I then can use remotely access my local computer and then to the camera for live coverage but this is a time consuming method.    To be able to get access from my current location I then have to remotely log on to my home E1200 router and change the address in the port forwarding section of the routers setup program in order to use the new IP directly.  
    I know I could have avoided this problem by seting up the camera with a static IP but for some reason I had a problem doing so and due to time limitation I ended up accepting the dynamic IP assignment.
    What could be causing the change and more importantly is there anything I can do to the router setup to minimize the problem?

    There hasn't been a power failure at my house in over 3 weeks at least none that my UPS system has sensed but there have been many camera IP changes during that perioid .    Perhaps there has been some local power interuption to the camera or the router.   I wonder if a local power sag or surge might be sufficient for the camera to restart.   I guess further investigation will have to wait til I return and regardless of what I find I'll switch to a static IP for the futrue.   

  • Wireless security cam

    hi,
    I am planning to install several wireless security cams at home, and the one from linksys seemed  a good choice to me. 
    I am looking for a specific feature that I am not able to find any explanation on. In the features I see that I am abe to watch live immages remotely, and record those live images. What I am also looking for, is that the system can automatically takes and record immages, even when I am not connected to the cam.  assumethat there is a stranger in  our house, I wantthose images t be recorded at a later stage so that I can see who has been there. 
    Is that possible with the linksys cam?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Koen

    Yes,using the motion detection feature on the linksys camera it is possible...Some good linksys camera are WVC54GC,WVC54GCA,WVC80N.

  • Wireless Security Camera for mobile phone

    hi everyone,
    i would like to know can we provide wireless security camera for mobile phones. is there any service providers for that.
    please clarify me.
    thanks in advance

    I asked because we do not want to recommend any cams that may confuse you even more.  The more details we have on why you are confused the better.
    Check out this website which may offer some suggestions:  www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage1.html.  EZJim's site mostly deals w/iSight and various other video methods.  He actually hangs out in the iSight forums which is where you can possibly post to him.  He's there quite regularly.  He's the most likely person here who can perhaps offer you many suggestions.
    Over in the QuickTime forums there is QuickTimeKirk, another video expert.
    Good luck!

  • Wireless security camera

    Is there a wireless security camera that requires no PC, just works directly with my Mac & new Airbase ?

    I briefly tested SecuritySpy and it seemed to work pretty well. If that doesn't seem to fit your needs, you search MacUpdate for something like "security camera" you'll find other applications.

  • Wireless Network Camera

    Hi there, i'm in need of some help.
    I need to set up a wireless network camera for some home security.
    I've been recommended some software called Security Spy, i just need a cost effective indoor camera which is pointing outside through he window. Ideally it needs to have motion detection, but to be honest I really don't know that much about them and I'm getting desperate. Can anyone point me in the right direction of someone who sells Mac network compatible cameras please, any help or advice will be massively appreciated thank you all.

    evocam isn't bad...
    it uses your inbult isight cam or a web cam
    you can set up either static shots or constant video feed over http:// or even ftp
    otherwise there are lots of IT/electronic companies that sell basic IP cameras ~AU$200 pretty easy to set up and often come with software based motion detection

  • Trouble setting up a wireless IP camera

    I have a Foscam wireless IP camera that I got working easily. I just bought a new GOING model IP camera and am having problems. My AirPort network's IP is 10.0.1.1. When I got the Foscan, I just ran IP Camera Tool and the cam showed right up. From there it was easy to set up. Now this new cam does not show up. I emailed them and they said the default IP for the cam is 192.168.1.10, They told me to add a 192.168.1.x address to my Mac. How can I do that? I see you can change DHCP range in Network options, but won't everything on my network stop working? My Foscam cam is on 10.0.1.4. The web server running on my Mac is at 10.0.1.5 and my Apple TV is at 10.0.1.13. What options do I have here?

    Make sure the correct encryption mode is supported. Many times people confuse the different encryption types. Best bet is to not have any encryption set on your router and see if that works first.

  • Connect to a Wireless IP camera to take pictures

    I recently bought a Foscam FI9821W Wireless IP Camera to work along side my image comparison VI. 
    Is it possible to connect to this Camera through the VI by changing the "Select Camera" funtion or something close to that?

    To connect to an IP camera with LabVIEW using NI drivers, you'll need the IMAQdx driver, which comes as part of NI Vision Acquisition Software. You can download the latest version of the driver here: http://www.ni.com/download/ni-vision-acquisition-software-2014.02/4584/en/ and find more information here: http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/12892
    This software ships with several LabVIEW examples, which you can work off of to acquire from an IP camera. You can find them by opening LabVIEW and going to Help>> Find Examples...>>Hardware Input and Output>>Vision Acquisition>>NI-IMAQdx. At first, I recommend using a High-Level Snap VI to make sure you can acquire from the camera. You can advance to more complex VIs from there.
