Just one thing. Which _specific_ camera is this? perhaps an Axis 2100?
Well, I've used an Axis 2100 which can upload JPEGs at intervals of one frame per second (or was there a sub-second feature? - don't remember...). It also has a streaming CGI-module which is not usable outside a java applet or an ActiveX plugin. However, the CGI stream has been decoded and played as-fast-as-possible in Keystroke at one point (2 years ago?). I can ask the programmer if he can open-source it (if he's still around at Keyworx). I think it was really at a pre-alpha stage, and then he stopped developing it cause he didn't have the camera himself.
Anyway. If you are running PD on Linux, enable FTP, then upload an image to the machine running the patch - at the fastest possible interval. Then load them with a frame-number. Viola. Should wokr if you don't need real-realtime. Or you could use 'wget' to pull it off the camera as fast as possible. I've got a shell-script around here somewhere that does that.
A PD-object that could simply point to an IP and receive video would be delicious, though. :-)
Sounds like an Axis, alright.
is it hard for the future to build an object that look the ethernet port for such material?
Well, depends on the format and how you want to use it. You need to know the format and it's destination (gem, pdp, gridflow, framestein,, etc.). It is most likely a web-server with some compressed video data going over the connection to a specific client-plugin in the web-browser. Knowing which camera and which format would help a lot, not to mention which platform you are on. It's not trivial, as far as I know. At minimum you need to know the format and the protocol. After that, it depends on which OS you are using.
excuse my poor english
No worries.
thank you all
Hope this helps. :-)
