If your camera uses multipart http or ICamView properitary protocoll your friend should be the
QImageGrabber:

http://code.google.com/p/qimagegrabber/

Let me know if you have any questions/comments with the library!

Sorry to hijack, XavierClinquart.

Thanks~!

Sync the latest svn trunk with:
svn checkout http://qimagegrabber.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ qimagegrabber-read-only

There is an example folder containing an example how to use the library.

Thanks, i don't know how to use svn checkout, but i suppose it's following way via QtCreator?

• New project
• Import project
• Subversion Checkout

Then the first problem i encounter was:
[quote]Failed to open project in '/Applications/Qt5.0.1/qimagegrabber'.
Could not find any project files matching (*.pro, CMakeLists.txt, *.cmake, *.creator, *.qmlproject) in the directory '/Applications/Qt5.0.1/qimagegrabber'.[/quote]

nonetheless i was able to manually open up your examples.pro

As i'm using Qt5.0.1 on Mac, it seems that Qt library configuration is slightly different.

include <QtGui/QApplication> = include <QApplication> -> this should be okay?(no errors)

Then this is the main part executing your program...

_#include <qwt/qwt_plot_curve.h>

/Applications/Qt5.0.1/qimagegrabber/examples/qimagegrabber_benchmark/dialogcomparesettings.h:7: error: 'qwt/qwt_plot_curve.h' file not found
#include <qwt/qwt_plot_curve.h>
^_

Sorry for being such a beginner :)

I have never tried to compile it with Qt5.
I am installing the Qt5 now and

The benchmark example depends on the Qwt. I will create a simple separate example today without any extra dependencies.
