How to create an application for receiving a video stream from a (WiFi) camera?

I am kind of a beginner in programming, learning it in school, so I really don't know much.

But I want to make a program for PC and maybe app for iPhone/Android that receives a video-stream from a camera and displays it, nothing more.

How do I do this in C++/C# in Visual Studio?

Camera -> WiFi -> PC/Phone

  1. You should first check for cameras that come with a programming API so that it is easy to write programs to communicate with it.

  2. If the camera drivers can make it communicate with standard chat apps like Sykpe, you should be able to use C++ and OpenCV to capture a stream from it. But you can choose the language and tools according to what you want to do with the video stream.

A good library for working with images/video in c++ is OpenCV. I would recommend taking a look at their examples.

http://docs.opencv.org/3.0.0/index.html

Check out the highgui module!
