How to control and display video from IP camera using ActiveX control over Internet.

Hello,
I need to control my IP cameras over the internet. I need to log into the cameras and then display the video. There's an ActiveX control registered on the computer and works fine with IE to access and control the cameras. Controlling the cameras using IE works fairly well, but there are some quirks that I'd like to eliminate by using my own custom code.
Has anyone created a vi that controls a Foscam FI8905W over the Internet? I’ve attempted, but I keep getting a catastrophic failure when I try to call ManagementConnect Method in the DVM_IPCam2 ActiveX Control Module V1.0. I'm not sure whether I need to establish an IP connection with the cameras first, or allow the ActiveX control to establish it for me.
Some example code would be greatly appreciated. Running LabVIEW 2011 on a Win7 32bit. Even some code used to control a similar device using ActiveX over Internet would be helpful.

I have an example vi for interfacing to the foscam activex.
I plan on using mouse click events within the activex window to trigger the PT function.
I only have the basic up/down/right/left directions and not the down-right/down-left/up-right/up-left in the enum. You can load the camera's web page and view the source to see the Java script code that uses the activex control. There are definitions for the other directions.
I had to mark the control as "Disabled" to keep click events from going to the activex control. If I double click the control, it goes full screen. If I then click on it to get out of full screen mode the video never returns or returns to the wrong spot in the VI.

Help, how to open and display blobs from tables

Dear all,
I am trying to store ms-word files on a table using a blob column.
Does anyone how to open the files and display them from a form using 9iAS?
Thank you.
Carlos.

And there may be, but you won't likely find that here. Do some time searching Google and maybe you'll find code that someone was nice enough to make freely available, although I wouldn't count on it. Were i a programmer and took the time to read those docs and write the code, I'd want to be paid for my time. But there are a lot of programmers who swear by freeware! You may get lucky.

I can't import and view videos from a camera.

I can't import and view videos from a camera. Even if I open the file and copy the .avi files onto the hard drive. I have tried iMovie, Quicktime, and Flip player. Flip player will open it but I only get the audio, Quicktime freezes, and iPhoto tries to automatically import only to then error saying the files are not compatible.

Hello Hese,
try the following:
1. delete preferences (com.apple.iMovie.plist) and empty the trash
2. repair disc permissions with Disc Utility and reboot your mac
3. use Diskwarrior or MacJanitor for disc clean-up
4. disconnect any other firewire devices
5. take off any non-system desktop pictures
If nothing else helps, you might want to consider resetting your Firewire port(s)

Acquire and Displaying Video from D-Link DCS-930L

Hello! I want to know about acquiring video from the camera as I have mentioned in the topic, but I don,t have much experience about IMAQ related apps.The idea behind the whole concept is to display a video and then through some kind of shared variable it is displayed on other PC connected via ethernet cable.

-First you need to know the need and difference between the software available in Labview like Vision development Module and Vision Acquisition particularly.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/45A5682F377996BB862572B50072787F
-Then know the difference between IMAQ and IMAQ dx devices.
-Check in Measurement & Automation Explorer for your device and do quick test setup of Grab and snap then go ahead for programming in Labview.
-Now start using simple Grab and Acquire examples provided in the Labview Examples.
-If you still found difficulty then post your query.
Thanks

How to acquire and display data from labview to excel simultaneously

hello,
I am using the NI-DAQ to measure the falling edges of a clock and display them into a table. What I need is to display these data in a table in excel while the program is running. In addition, when I receive a pulse from an external clock, for which I have created a digital channell, the data must be logged in a different column. In other words, every time I receive a pulse the data must be stored in the adjacent column in excel.

Hello Evangelos,
As far as I know and have experienced, it is not possible to access a spreadsheet file (or any file, for that matter) by two programs at the same time, you will get an error.
Also, a couple of observations on your code:
A constant wired to a case selector of a case structure makes no sense as the false case will never be executed.
Move the DAQmx Read from your Digital Input task into the while loop, as the DAQmx Read will only read once and the wire won’t get information in or out of a while loop as long as the while loop is iterating.

How to decode and display jpeg from a bytes stream ?

Hello.
I am new to Flex and got stuck on something that I assume has an easy solution.
I have an RIA application in which I want to display a jpeg image. this image was
sent on a Web Service message, as an array of bytes (I just read the jpeg file as
is and send it to the web application).
I couldn't figure out a way to decode and display this image at the RIA, using an apropriate component. (Image ?)
I have seen a few examples where a jpg is loaded from a web server using a url in
which it's avaliable, but I don't think this is much help to me...
Your help/example apreciated.

Thanks.
I assume you mean passing the bytesArray to Image.load() ?
Anyway, that's what I did and it worked fine.
Now I am facing the same issue with playing sounds, which are available on bytesArray.
I tried to pass the mp3 bytes to the Sound.load(), but it doesn't work, becuase it tries
to cast it to a URL. do you know by any chance whether I can achieve that somehow ?
(I could use prety much any other sound format, if it makes a difference)
Thanks again.

How to store and display Response from REST Service

Hi,
My WADL has defined the response that my REST service returns back as below :
<object name="Get_Root">
<property name="RequestId" type="number" />
<property name="Name" type="string" />
<property name="fromPlace" type="string" />
<property name="toPlace" type="string" />
<property name="fromDate" type="string" />
<property name="toDate" type="string" />
</object>
I want to store this response; response is a single entry of the above type and not a collection (I am making the request on a button click) and then display it on the screen in multiple labels.
How can I do this? Will I have to use a collection and a gallery, even though I have a single response?
Thanks,
Pragya

Okay.. got it. So MyRestData has a Get function taking some n arguments and it responds back with an object of the type I had mentioned before.
From what I understood, I have to write the below code for each label
MyRestData!Get(.....)!Name
MyRestData!Get(.....)!fromPlace
MyRestData!Get(.....)!toPlace ...and so on
Wouldn't that translate to different REST calls? Is there a way to get and store the entire response object
in the app and access each of its properties/subelements locally?
Also when you wrote the below before
Text: "The name is: " & MyRestData!Get_Root!Name
it seems that I can access the response object Get_Root using MyRestData. This is not the case for me. MyRestData only lets me access the Get function using "!", and not the response object in any way.
Thanks for your help!

How to retrieve and display image from database in a web page

Hi all;
I have been trying this for some time now. I have found some tutorials so far but none of them addresses my concern. Here it is:
I have built a web application that can connect to an Oracle DB.
I have a table called "employee", where I record any employee details, among which the employee picture. I stored the pictures and the finger prints using "Oracle sql developper" as blob type.
How can i retrieve and view all these information when i run the application?
I can easily retrieve all other types of value, but the image(BLOB type) has been a nightmare for me.
HELP PLEASE.

I believe your Binary Large Obejct will come back as an array of int, and you'll need to use BufferedImage it's associated API to get it to a viewable image configuration.I don't think BufferedImage immediately solves the problem -- this is a web app, so I assume the image will be displayed using the HTML IMG tag.
Solution: google. There are many example of how to do this. For example, any book on servlets will have an example of dishing up a dynamic image.

I have nearly 7 megas of Music stored. To fill 60 Giga it wille takes at least 6 months on my rest time.

How can i save Music in my iPod on a Hard Disk or DVD and restore on it or on a new one ? Is it possible or not allowed by iTunes to avoid Music copie ?
Thank you for your help....

Frank31,
Syncing music to the iPod is a one-way street, as discussed in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302155
If you are concerned about using up your computer's hard drive for music, and are using iTunes 7, you might consider creating your library on an external drive if one is available.
This article discusses creating an alternate iTunes library in another location, such as another drive:

Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor. The pro version of iMovie.
Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow. It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them. You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version). Personal preferences showing here.

Loading video from digi camera onto eMac

I have a Casio Exilim digital camera. I plugged it into the USB and chose iPhote to run. So I imported all the pictures onto iPhoto but none of the video imported. How can I get the video from the camera onto my eMac? Thanks for the help!

If you want to import videos from your digital camera frequently it might be an idea to upgrade to iLife '06 as iPhoto 6 supports this.
Hope this helps.

We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX.

It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch
