Python IP camera

[hamza.mahdi]

Hello,

I am using an axis camera and python to do visual tracking. I have a problem with the set up. There is no problem with the code interpreting. This is my first time using an IP camera so i'm not sure if I'm even doing it correctly.

Here's my code(spacing is correct on my computer)

import numpy as np
import cv2
cap = cv2.VideoCapture()
cap.open("http://169.254.197.26/")

while(cap.isOpened()):
# Capture frame-by-frame
ret, frame = cap.read()

# Our operations on the frame come here
print "hi"

# Display the resulting frame
cv2.imshow('frame',frame)
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break

# When everything done, release the capture
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
