Go to Post Are we really at the point where the only useful thing we can discuss is Dean's choice in timekeeping apparel? The man has a watch. He uses it to tell time. Do we really care how much it is worth, or who made it? I would be much more interested in what he does, not what he wears. - dlavery [more]

Camera types

Are we allowed to use a camera for image processing that is not one of the axis cameras supplied by AndyMark? (of course its price has to be within the budget limitations) when you think about it, it is just a very advanced sensor...

We searched the manual for any refrence to the camera and it doesn't say a thing.

There isn't anything in the manual that prohibits other cameras. However, the software only supports the axis protocol, so you would need to write a lot of code to interface with another camera.

If it outputs an image stream (mjpg), it should be fairly easy to find sample code online for it. Only problem is you would need to process it yourself without the help of the libraries. (We're doing that.)

Re: Camera types

If it outputs an mjpeg stream you should be able to adapt the existing camera library without much trouble. You might only have to change the url it uses.

What camera are you using? Our Axis 206 cameras are getting old and I don't really want to pay $160 for replacements.
