You can connect the IR camera to your PC and read real-time data from its sensors. In this section, we describe all the steps you need to take to do that.
- step: turn on the streaming in the IR camera
- step: connect your PC to the IR camera
- a) from LabIR RTSP Player (recommended)
- b) from other applications (like VLC)
The IR camera TIMI Edu provides 2 types of stream and you can read both of them simultaneously. You need to know which stream to use:
- live.sdp = actual image from the display (streamed as standard video)
- thermal.sdp = real-time thermal data from the IR sensor
Stream comparaison
| live.sdp | thermal.sdp | |
|---|---|---|
| What does it do? | IR camera streams its actual display image. | IR camera streams thermal data from the sensor. |
| Stream address | rtsp://IPv4:5540/live.sdp | rtsp://IPv4:5540/thermal.sdp |
| What exactly is being transmitted? | JPG images of the display => You can open this stream in any application capable of working with IP cameras. | Stream of temperature values and other parameters of the sensor. => You can read this stream only in the dedicated application LabIR RTSP Player. |
| Possibility to stream the visible image | If the image from the visible camera is being shown on the display, you will see it when reading live.sdp. | thermal.sdp does not transfer the visible image, but you can create a simultaneous connection to live.sdp and see both visible and thermal image at the same time. |
| Analyses | Analyses set on the IR camera displey are transferred along with rest of the content | Analyses are configured on the PC |
