Sam Dexter Posted March 9, 2021 Report Posted March 9, 2021 Hi guys, I am running a system with AXIS F34 camera (actually it is 4 cameras on one main unit) and can acquire a video on one channel (channel 1 only) with both NI-MAQ basic functions and AXIS ActiveX control that comes from AXIS Media Control (AMC) - https://www.axis.com/en-us/support/downloads. The image acquisition seems pretty forward (see the VIs attached) but I have no idea how to control the camera and more importantly how to change the channel. Another question - although you can set up the camera to stream the video without a password it would be nice to know how to actually authenticate the connection from LabVIEW... I wonder if anyone can give an advise on any of the questions. Axis ActiveX.vi Axis IMAQ.vi Quote

Sam Dexter Posted March 12, 2021 Author Report Posted March 12, 2021 Now, of course, the trick is to do it without ActiveX control using raw HTTP as compactRIO does not have support for ActiveX. Any suggestions? NI-IMAQ cannot access other channels but channel one... Quote
