Video on WinCC Flexible

Hi,

I would like to develop an aplication wherein the hmi would show a live video stream from either a web cam or an ip video camera. I would then like to capture images from the hmi and export them to another screen. Has anybody done something even remotely similar? Samples, links or manuals would be very welcome.

Thanks!

Dear Pit11,

I've found this link:

Perhaps it might help

Hello UMENCHO,

Thanks for the reply. I saw the thread where you got it from before I posted. Regarding your answer:

1. the first link was empty but i guess what you wanted to show were the vision sensors from Siemens. I think that they are way over the budget of my client. that's why i thought of using IP cams.

2. for the second link. i was planning to use a pc with the Wincc Flexible Runtime as my HMI.

3. for the last link. I was hoping to do a little less coding.

Thanks again!
