Need to Capture Video Stream from Camera in C# Application [closed]

Question

I need to build an application that meets the requirements below. It can be a windows client, silverlight client or WPF client.

1. Screen will show video stream from 2 separate cameras in 2 separate windows
2. Need to have PVR type functionality that is... 2.1 Show Live Stream 2.2 Pause and playback previous 30 seconds of video

I'm trying to use resources I have that is C# application development however I don't have any experience with video capture.

Any help in terms of Libraries I can look at or the best way to do this.

Answer 1

Mainly you will need to use DirectShow.

Here are useful links :

• Camera Vision - video surveillance on C#
• DirectX.Capture Class Library
• Capture Live Video from various Video Devices.
• C# and VB.NET Webcam Library and Sample

Also sometimes web cams are coming with the SDK, check for it.
