Re: Creating and using a database VC++ 2005 and using WMPlayer Act

It sounds like you are a beginner and you want to use a database because you
think that you need to.

You should think about the requirements of your application. Do you need to
persist any data in a database or can you simply connect to the webcam
directly and open files for playback from the Operating System's file
system? Why do you think that you need to use a database? Before I tell
you what tables to create you need to figure out what your application needs
to do and what type of data is needed to support that functionality.

Thanks a lot
Yes, it' s something like that , but it's not professional.Actually, there
is a Web cam connected to my PC ( the server) and clients would have the
possibility to connect to the "server" and watch "real time" or "playback"
(movies stored on disk) using IP .
I don't know how should I build a database (tables).Could you give me a
starting point,please? And how should I make binding with my application
(seeking the table for a username and password)?

minimum you would need one table that would hold the user information.
You
could have another table that stores the camera information. I might
want
to look at the front door, then the living room, then the kids room.

Would the user be able to browse the cameras remotely (when they are out
of
the house)? If so they will need a method to get "in" -- this would
probably require a web server of some sort. A different method might be
for
you to have the user connect to their database server and web cam
directly
via a fat client application. Either case they would need a public IP if
they are doing this remotely. If they are doing it within their house
you
could just use an internal address.

(2) no idea

Hi!
I would like to make a video surveillance system and:
1. for a client to connect to the server and watch "real time ", I
request
a
password and username.What should I do? Create a database which stores
that
information about a client. (I don't know how should I do this ).
What do I need in order to access that database?
2.How should I get an URL from an Edit Box and make WMPlayer ActiveX
Control
play that file (I haven't found yet but The Source URL Property of the
ActiveX Control and I set it manually...it's not what I want ).
3.Are there any methods that extract fps , bit rate...in order to
display
them on screen?

Thanks a lot
