Matlab 7 and TCP/IP camera.

I use Matlab 7.0.4.365 and i would like to display and register images who come from a camera linked by ethernet connection. I can do it by a USB connection but I don't find how i can do in Ethernet. can somebody help me? Thanks in advance.

You need either the Instrument Control Toolbox, or the Matlab File Exchange submission named tcpudpip .

I don't have the Instrument Control Toolbox but I have install the camera SDK and I can use it with Virtual Basic to connect teh camera. Can I use the CamCtrl.ocx with Matlab without the Instrument Control Toolbox?

[Walter Roberson]

I am not very familiar with use of Active X controls (or whatever the newer technology is called), but I believe that the answer to your question is Yes, provided the control is registered with Windows;

The relevant documentation for using ActiveX within Matlab is at

Hi maybe you have done your project? I have the some problem Ihave ip camera and wanna make interface for real video watching... Maybe you have some ideas?:)

Hi, I have done my project but in C#. I think that i can't do it in Matlab because i can't use TCP/IP without the Instrument Control Toolbox.

[Walter Roberson]

As I referenced before, you can use the Matlab File Exchange contribution tcpudpip which is at http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/345-tcpudpip-toolbox-2-0-6

Hi, i have extracted the tcpudpip to the matlab. and i still confuse how i can stream the video from my ip camera. in this case i use linksys wvc54gc IP Camera. thank you

[Walter Roberson]

How would you do it if you had the Instrument Control Toolbox? Well, the methods using tcpudpip are almost exactly the same: the user contribution is designed to look very similar to the Instrument Control Toolbox.

Streaming Video is more the work of the Video Acquisition Toolbox.

Do you know how to connect to a network camera using Instrument Control Toolbox? Thanks!!
