uca-net

A transparent TCP-based network bridge camera for remote access of libuca cameras.

Installation and usage

The only dependency is libuca itself and any camera you wish to access. Build the server and client with

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make && (sudo) make install

Now, you can start a server on a remote machine with

$ ucad mock

and connect to it from any other machine, e.g.

$ uca-grab -p host=foo.bar.com:4567 -n 10 net            # grab ten frames
$ uca-camera-control -c net     # control graphically

or from Concert

from concert.devices.cameras.uca import Camera

camera = Camera('net', {'host': 'foo.bar:1234'})

with camera.recording():
    print(camera.grab())

Besides using the host property one can also set the UCA_NET_HOST environment variable to set the host and port of the remote ucad service.
