how to get a live video and also take snapshots from the video simultaneously using an IP Camera? and how to save multiple images produced from live camera?

1. how to get the live video and snapshots simultaneously using an IP Camera? I tried taking a live video and snapshots using a Webcam and it works but with IP Camera it is not working.

2. how to save multiple pictures taken from webcam ?

i am able to save only 1 image and it is getting overwritten everytime i run the program becasue i have mentioned the image name.

vid = videoinput('winvideo',1);
preview(vid);
start(vid); 
set(vid, 'ReturnedColorSpace', 'RGB');
im = getsnapshot(vid); 
figure,imshow(im); 
imwrite(im,'C:\Users\SHRUTHI\Desktop\neural\shru\pics\myfirstimage.jpg');

You would use ipcam() to link to an IP camera, not videoinput()
