hi, i am currently in university and one of our modules coursework is to design a program that will pick up the signal of an ethernet network camera and be able to view the camera's picture and control the pan etc of it. the problem is, we've never used this program before and haven't been told how to work it. i was wondering if someone could help me out on where to start or how to get the program to pick up the signal.. ? the camera is a sony network camera (snc-rz30p) thanks, darren ps - sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forum!
