See the contents of a network IP Camera inside a flash media

Question

HI, to everybody!! &#128578; I'm newer in this forum, and I want to
share/ask a little problem that I have, In the office where I work,
I use a Flash media that uses Camera.get() to activate an usb
camera on a local co,mputer, but now, the boss has buyed a D-link
DCS-950 G Internet Camera this camera is an IP camera and I don't
know how create a media that can connect to the camera.

I know that in a web browser the camera needs the
CSViewer.ocx.

Can anybody helpme or give me a clue?

As best I know, the camera needs to have the Flash VM installed, and needs to have an internal webserver that you can run your .swf from. That way, the camera is the client to FMS.

If you need to have the camear act like a USB cam maybe you can contact the manufacturer and see if they have a driver that makes it look like a USB cam... although I doubt they do.

Worst case... use a screen capture utility to grab the image from the camera, and publish it as a camera through your .swf. It will be ugly, and you'll be compressing twice, but you'll see it IP cam image in FMS.
