Does anyone have experience\suggestions for connecting to multiple cheap cameras and getting the images at reasonably real time?
It depends on what "cheap" means - what you need to keep in mind is the appropriateness of your lighting, quality of the sensor (CCD) and the optics that you put in front of it. I'd suggest you check out FireWire cameras - they're relatively inexpensive, and through the magic of a firewire hub, you can have a whole bunch of the online simultaneously (bandwidth dependant, of course )
I usually use camera from AVT - if you need several of them, they'll give you a good volumne discount.
Hi dear Crelf,
I'm trying to get a snapshot from 15 cameras simultaneously in Matlab platform, I tried it by usb cameras using 2 usb hub, but it was impossible. do you know whether it's possible or not, if I use gige or ip cameras associated with ethernet hub?
