Dear friends,

I am sitting here with the c# windows application.

I have set a picture box to capture image.

I want to detect motion from web camera.

I don't know how to set a path for capturing images continuously in to a folder.

Please explain me in codes.

In code project there are some project's motion_src.

I can't catch where they will call and close the program.

I am waiting for your valuable answers.

I've tried this till now:

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Collections.Generic;



namespace WinFormCharpWebCam
{
    //Design by Pongsakorn Poosankam
    public partial class mainWinForm : Form
    {
        public mainWinForm()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        WebCam webcam;
        private void mainWinForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            webcam = new WebCam();
            webcam.InitializeWebCam(ref imgVideo);
        }

        private void bntStart_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            webcam.Start();
            detector = new MotionDetector3();
            detectorType = 3;
            SetMotionDetector();
        }
        private void SetMotionDetector()
        {
            Camera camera = cameraWindow.Camera;

            // enable/disable motion alarm
            if (detector != null)
            {
                detector.MotionLevelCalculation = motionAlarmItem.Checked;
            }

            // set motion detector to camera
            if (camera != null)
            {
                camera.Lock();
                camera.MotionDetector = detector;

                // reset statistics
                statIndex = statReady = 0;
                camera.Unlock();
            }
        }

        private void bntStop_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            webcam.Stop();
        }

        private void bntContinue_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            webcam.Continue();
        }

        private void bntCapture_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            imgCapture.Image = imgVideo.Image;
        }

        private void bntSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Helper.SaveImageCapture(imgCapture.Image);
         
        }

        private void bntVideoFormat_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            webcam.ResolutionSetting();
        }

        private void bntVideoSource_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            webcam.AdvanceSetting();
        }

        
    }
}

Till now I've been able to capture the image when I press a button but I would like to be able to capture the images automatically.

I don't know how to proceed, could you help?

Thank you in advance.

It is highly unlikely that you will get an answer to this unless you go through this a clearly state what it is that you are doing. Looks like you are talking about 5 different things without a clear idea of what it is that you are doing.

actually i want to capture image continuosly from a webcam. and it will stored automatically in to a folder.

So what exactly is it that you are doing? Where is the code the demonstrates your problem? We are not mind readers.

And so? This code won't even compile. Did you get all of the code from Pongsakorn Poosankam or did you just take bits and pieces?

[no name] 25-Jul-12 9:53am

And your answer is right here in this Helper.SaveImageCapture. Just call that method when you want to save an image. I do not understand what your problem is.

Dhinesh kumar.V 25-Jul-12 9:59am

i don't know sir.please tell me how to call..

[no name] 25-Jul-12 10:03am

You are kidding me right? It's right there in the code and you cannot figure out how to call that method? Helper.SaveImageCapture(imgCapture.Image);

Dhinesh kumar.V 25-Jul-12 10:09am

not like that sir.
helper.saveimagecapture(imgcapture.image); i have used in this program.it will capture the image only when i am pressed a button.

i want continuosly capture Motion images and it will saved into a folder.when i am click a button.

[no name] 25-Jul-12 10:17am

Then call that function in a timer

Dhinesh kumar.V 25-Jul-12 10:20am

Dhinesh I've updated your question, check that it is still asking what you need/want and if you have to post more code samples, don't use the comments for that please, use the green "improve question" link that will allow you to update your question.
Good luck.

Dhinesh,

Your code is ok.

All you need is component Timer. You need to go in menu View -> Toolbox and add the component in your application. Then you click twice in the Timer to see the code for your project and call your function again.

The timer execute in miliseconds. If you wish a image at 1 minute, set the Timer Interval in 60000 (equal a 1 minute).

Do you understand?
