what kind of camera is this?... do you already have one? or are open to sugestions.. i helped do something simlar to this last month during ARCO, we used two alexis IP cameras.. the proper camera generates video and images accesable through its ip... you can place the two cameras on a wifi router.. (ie cam1: 192.168.1.30cam2: 192.168.1.30) and using some funcions like mencoder or wget you can tell your computer to retrive images every Xseconds /minutes.. (unless you just want the picture once) then the images can be sent to diferent directories. from there PD can load this images.. and have two seprate channels of images working at the same time!
just a suggestion.. -j

Sorry for the 2 post but i don't receive my message from the list and i think it was lost somewhere...
ah ok, i see. this happens to me as well sometimes, but i wasn't sure whether it had anything to do with the list. now there is at least two of us.
there are externals to process video and images 'live and direct'. have a look at Gem[1], Gridflow[2] and pdp/pidip[3]. [1] http://gem.puredata.info/ Gem is included in the pd-extended releasesI don't really know GEM but i think i'll be forced to enter in it; which object can manage jpeg picture
[pix_image]
and how can i get the picture from the cam ???
i don't know. what is a numeric cam? you mentioned, that you want to get pictures over the wireless network. does this cam have its own ip, when connected to the network? what kind of server is running on it providing the pictures?
for the network part: probably it would be better to let a little script do the job of getting the pictures from the cams to the local file system. it could download a picture in a certain intervall. once it the image is local you could constantly read the image with appropriate object of the library of your choice.Do you know a tuto to make that kind of stuff ????
you mean downloading the pictures? i don't know whithout knowing what kind of cam you are using. i know, that there are some cams, which can be connected to a network (ethernet or wireless), which have webserver running and then you easily can grab the picture with a browser by entering: http://<ip_of_your_cam>/<name_of_the_file>.jpg in the adress field. if your cam is such a cam, then you could write little script using the command wget. is that the kind of cam you are using?
