Hi,
Wireless camera technology has made some great advances recently and I'd like to do a project that posts a wireless camera far above where I'm sitting and then does some image processing alogorithms using processing. I'd prefer to use an 802.11 camera so I can incorporate the feed over my wireless network I already have setup to send OUT the images to my projector. I had this camera in mind for price, LEDs, and moveability: http://www.amazon.com/Foscam-FI8918W-Wireless-Camera-Viewing/dp/B0046710G6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1301429064&sr=8-1
My question is, before I spend $ on this camera, CAN you use processing to access the frames? I'm just unsure if the Capture function/object will "see" the camera's streams because i've only ever tested it on USB connected cameras.
Thanks!
best,
Anon
