|
|
I am looking for a Video Capture component that can handle 2 cameras
simultaneously.
Of course two components, handling 2 separate cameras simultaneously will
also work, but the operative word is "simultaneously"
The application is a machine vision project so speed is also important.
Motion detection capabilities will be a bonus. Price is always important.
TIA
Hendrik. |

Try DsPack & its forums at Progdigy.com.I have seen there, many messages |
regarding using many cameras with the component.The best thing is it is
free & is also available for Delphi 2006 from

Hi,
You can take a look at TVideoGrabber (commercial), that is able to handle
several cameras simultaneously and include motion detection.
I suggest you to start from the "Surveillance4Webcams" demo project included
in the package, then modify it according to your needs.
The home page is http://www.datastead.com/vidgrab/

Thanx for your reply.
I looked at TVideoGrabber before and it is an excelent product, but I never
buy components without source and your source package is to steep for my
pocket so I will first look at other possibilities.

I tried DSPack and I maybe doing something wrong, but if you start 2
instances of VideoCapture demo, you will see that it also does not work
properly. Of course it is possible to select 2 different cameras / video
sources but the video stream gets distorted, or the one camera half works
and the other is almost not responding.
I have the same problem with ImageEn.

DSPack has always been a huge pile of instability for me.
Try TVideoGrabber at
http://www.delphicity.com/
It's pricy, but once you see what free gets you, you'll understand why
price isn't everything. |

You won't find anything better than DSPack for free.
I speak from experience. |

Hi Hendrik,
You can try VisionLab - www.mitov.com . It does support multiple
cameras, and is free for non commercial purposes. It also has motion
detection .
With best regards,

Thanks to everybody that replied.
After sending some emails to Fabrizio/support at www.hicomponents.com I
solved the problem.
The problem was a bandwidth problem on the USB ports. I have multiple (
USB ports on my machine but the two cameras were plugged in to the same
internal hub and had to share the video stream. After switching between
different combinations of USB ports, I eventually got everything working
fine.
ImageEn from HiComponents is a great product at a reasonable price (100
EUR -source included) and it can do lots of other things too.
Hendrik. |
