I’ve got an IP camera – an Axis M1114 – that I’d like to use as a QTKit Capture device. Only DV cameras and the iSight usually appear on this capture menu. Is there any way of getting the IP camera to appear in this list and work with QTKit Capture?
This might not be possible, but if it is, I’d appreciate any pointers at ways of going about it. Thanks!
I asked Apple engineers the same question on WWDC 2010. The answer was “No, you cannot make your own QTCaptureDevice”. To record video from AXIS IP cameras we have developed our own framework. You can get frames from the camera and write them to a Quicktime movie. You can do it with QTKit, but works better in 32bit Quicktime framework.
