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