All Over Software Jobs: Re: [flexcoders] Flex & Virtual Camera

Thursday, January 12, 2012

Hey Mark,

Camera.getCamera will only work for physically connected devices to the machine where the Flash app is running - like a USB webcam.

What you want to do is access the IP camera via a StageWebView component - basically a webkit browser. Just point the component at the URL for the camera.

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/media/StageWebView.html

That will display the camera output as it would do in a standard browser.

Hope that helps!

Dave.

Hi,

I have a ip camera and it is hard to access it with Flex app directly now.

I plan to the following things.

1. install virtual camera software in local pc.
2. use virtual camera access the ip camera.
3. use Flex access Virtual camera.

Do you think if it is possible. I am not sure if the following code can work with virtual camera. any idea?

var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();

Thanks for help

Mark
