I have been searching for the solution for ages, but got no luck.
The solution that I am looking for is to get a video stream from an IP camera.
And it’s better that if I can get the video frames(images) instantly in the back end code, because the next stage of this project could involve some image processing.
As a part of requirements in my project, I don’t want to use flash player to do it.
I am happy if you could find a way to make it.
I have tried the Microsoft Media Platform (smf.codeplex.com) which I though it’s a really good way to go, but unfortunately, this framework seems not perfect, it complains that
“The tag ‘SMFPlayer’ does not exist in XML namespace ‘clr-namespace:Microsoft.SilverlightMediaFramework.Core;assembly=Microsoft.SilverlightMediaFramework.Core’.”
I did checked that after I typed “Core.” the SMFPlayer will pop up automatically, but it still complains about cannot find it.
An I also tried the Silver Light, but it cannot get access to an IP camera.
Now, it seems to me that there is no way to do it.
I would be appreciate if anyone could throw me a light on this.
Thanks in advance.
PS: could anyone please provide me some live camera ip addresses? I have been searching them as well, but haven’t found any one.
I finally figured it out that I used wrong version of IIS Video smooth streaming dll.
And now I have decided to go with this solution.
Thank you all for your time and ideas 🙂
