We have an Sony SNC-RX570 that puts out a MJPEG stream. We can receive the stream in both the active X and java applets that came with the webpage on the camera. However, we need to get the jpeg images from the stream for use in separate java based code. It looks as if jipcam may be a good starting point. My assumptions at this point are that I would need to use one of the Axis camera communication implementations to speak to the Sony camera using the CGI commands via http requests. Is this correct?
Can you provide some details for where to start?
Also, we use Eclipse for our IDE. I am an old C++ guy that has recently started using Java, and I do not know anything about either ant or maven. What do I need to do to set up the jipcam project in Eclipse?
Finally, I downloaded the latest released source version from sourceforge 0.9.2. This looks fairly old, and I noticed that there was also a binary version for 0.9.3. What is the state of the current svn relative to these releases? Should I start with the svn head?
Thanks greatly for the help with the newbie questions,
Stephen
