I need to capture live videos from a Sony HDR-CX240E camera into Matlab.
I installed the Image Acquisition Toolbox as well as following Support packages:
Image Acquisition Toolbox Support Package for DCAM Hardware / Image Acquisition Toolbox Support Package for GigE Vision Hardware / MATLAB Support Package for USB Webcams
It works with my laptop webcam, but the Sony camera doesn't show up in the "imaqtool" window. The camera is connected through USB and is recognized by the laptop as a Mass Storage.
How can i fix this problem?
Thanks for any help

If it is possible at all with that camera, then it would have to be by connecting the HDMI output to a video capture card and starting the camera streaming (with no computer control). That model does not support remote control through the USB, and the remote controls that it supports cannot be connected to a computer, and that model does not have the WiFi interface that supports PlayMemories that some of the other related models have.

In 2011 the recommendation was not to do that; I do not know if the technology has improved since then.

But you could look at the device suggested for use with Nikon; see https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/300360-how-to-connect-nikon-dslr-camera-to-matlab#answer_232388
