labview interface with wireless camera

[km76107]

Has anyone interfaced labview with a wireless webcamera? I have an application that needs to interface my existing labview program with a wireless webcam (802.11b) to monitor a certain space and display live video on the main labview screen.
Thanks in advance.

Most probably your webcam comes with drivers for Video for Windows (VfW)
or DirectX. In that case you can just use:

Irene He's IVision Toolkit:

or

Pete Parentes WebCam library:

The first is a rather impressive Video Manipulation library with a
nice video capture interface to DirectX/VfW too, and the second is a
simple video capture library to access any VfW compliant
device.
