1 view (last 30 days)
Hi,
I want to use MATLAB online to aquire images from an IP Camera. However, MATLAB online doesn't seem to support IP cameras at the moment. Are there any alternative methods I can use to get images from the camera ?

Hey Saitarun,
You could try to use the webread method to read data from URL along with any necessary web options parameter. This can be stored in a variable and then using methods like imshow, you can view the image. The following code demonstrates this and works in MATLAB Online:
options = weboptions(); % If needed, you can set any username and password or any other options
img = webread('https://picsum.photos/200', options); % Third party lorem ipsum image
imshow(img);
You can refer to the following documentation to learn more:
