How to interface canon IP camera (VB-H41/B) with MATLAB. I know it's IP address, ID and password but I am unable to find its exact command. I have tried all the commands which are given for other IP cameras like Dlink, SONY etc but none of them is working. For example I am using cam= ipcam('http://192.168.1.30/video1.mjpg,'root','camera') but it's giving me error i-e "Cannot connect to the IP Camera Stream URL. Make sure the URL is correct and authentication is provided if needed."
If anyone of you know how to solve this issue or which video file designation to use, kindly let me know. Thank you!!

Hey, even I am having the same problem with HikVision Camera... I am unable to use the function to read the video using MATLAB. I am using my URL as follows:'http://10.0.0.18:8000/video.mjpeg'. Is the URL I am using is correct. If so why I am getting the error like this "Cannot connect to the IP Camera Stream URL. Make sure the URL is correct and authentication is provided if needed". Please anyone of you help me to fix this issue..

Thanks for the information.After using the URL in the mentioned link, I am still getting the same error. when I opened the URL in chrome, I am able to login with my credentials but unable to view the video over there. How can I resolve both of these issues in order to get live video in matlab using my hikvision camera.

The page I linked to, iSpy, appears to be open source software. I suggest you experiment with using it to connect to the device. Once you have it working then the URL could be transferred to MATLAB.
