[ros-users] IP Camera Node

[Gonçalo Cabrita]

Hi Kevin,

I'm not sure there is such a node for ROS, though I never searched for it
myself. The guys from computer vision should be more able to inform you on
that matter.

Some time ago I had the same problem so I developed some C++ code using
libcurl http://curl.haxx.se/ (non ROS related). I would have to look for it,
but it should be fairly easy to wrap around ROS. However, I'm not an expert
on this matter, probably libcurl is not the best option for solving this
problem (I remember that frames were being grabbed at a really slow rate).
Some cameras bring their own API which makes things easier, just wrap their
API around a ROS node and it's all good! Lets see what other people suggest!

Best regards,
