I recently bought an IP Camera to monitor my house. There is a web access to view the video stream but not to record it. Here is the IP Camera in question, it should work with every other similar product. So I made a simple example which does the job. Here is the code : #include <GUIConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> #include <GDIPlus.au3> #include <Memory.au3> #region Global Vars Global Const $sProgramTitle = "IP Camera stream + record" ;EDIT THE FOLLOWING LINE ONLY: Global Const $iIPAddress = "192.168.1.99", $iPort = 99, $shtauth = "yourauth==" Global Const $STM_SETIMAGE = 0x0172 Global $blRecording = False, $blGUIMinimized = False Global Const $sRecordDir = @ScriptDir & "\ip_camera_stream" Global $bRecvtmp = Binary(""), $bStream = $bRecvtmp Global $iImgLen = 0, $iStreamLen = 0, $iWritten = 0, $iEOH = 0, $iContLenPos = 0, $hImgFile = 0, $pBuffer = 0, $iImgCount = 0 Global Const $iContLengthLen = StringLen("Content-Length: ") Global $sStream = "", $sTrim2ContLen = "" Global $hBMP = 0, $hGraphics = 0, $hHBITMAP2 = 0, $hFamily = 0, $hFont = 0, $tLayout = "", $hFormat = 0, $hBrush = 0 #endregion Global Vars TCPStartup() Global $iSocket = TCPConnect($iIPAddress, $iPort) If @error Then MsgBox(16, $sProgramTitle, "Could not connect !")

Hi all, i want to start a new application that capture a screen or image from webcam an read all barcode inside the picture. I have test this code https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/27925-webcam-example/ Works fine for my webcam. Now i need to read all barcodes (code 128 code39, no 2d) inside the picture. I have found this https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/42852/Reading-Barcodes-from-an-Image-III It's possible to make a dll from VB source i linked with this parameters : filename, Array of barcode founded, error code and launch from Autoit with function ? Anyone can help me to make dll and autoit function, i don't know VB. Thanks

Hi Guys, I`m trying to record with my webcam in 5s intervalls and do some stuff between starting to record and stoping. I took code from here: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/27925-webcam-example/ and took what looked relevant to me. I use 3 different files: Is called WMS.au3 and contains all the constants for the dll calls is called rec.au3 and does all necessary dll calls to start a webcam recording to a file Is called stopcam.exe and does the dll calls to stop recording into a file WMS.au3 : $WM_CAP_START = 0x400 $WM_CAP_UNICODE_START = $WM_CAP_START +100 $WM_CAP_PAL_SAVEA = $WM_CAP_START + 81 $WM_CAP_PAL_SAVEW =

working. Does someone see what I´m doing wrong? It should record the webcam for about 10 seconds ( a little less) and save that to an .avi file. It does not stop the recording , I have to stop the process manually... Secondly, which confuses me more is that it creates the test.avi not in the location is specified in the script... its stored in the ScriptDir for whatever reason haha I hope you can help me ~HappyCoding

Hey everyone, I am looking for a simple function to take a single snapshot from webcam and save it as a picture I've searched in google and most of UDF's I foud were outdated and not working, others are very complicated to use . It would be cool if it can control the quality of saved picture like in screenshots _ScreenCapture_SetJPGQuality($Quality) I would appreciate it If someone can help thanks in advance

Hi everybody, I have some code for acquiring webcam image using [WM_CAP_DRIVER_CONNECT], Unfortunately [WM_CAP_DRIVER_CONNECT] return nothing. I have been reading about [WM_CAP_DRIVER_CONNECT] on MSDN LINK, they said So my question is, How can I get returned value from [WM_CAP_DRIVER_CONNECT].? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
