zcamera-e1-liveview

Sample code for getting the ZCamera E1 liveview through WiFi or USB connection

Connect to the Z Camera through USB cable of WiFi and adjust the Z Camera IP in the file mainwindow.cpp (TODO add auto-detection).

Requirements

Qt5 SDK with QtCreator (from http://qt.io/)

libavcodec-dev :

On linux debian / ubuntu based :

sudo apt-get install libavcodec-dev libswscale-dev

Needed for h264 decoding and resizing.

WiFi

Connect to the Z Camera WiFi and adjust the camera IP to 10.98.32.1 in file mainwindow.cpp

USB

Set USB mode to network in the camera, connect the camera to the computer, and set manual IP 192.168.168.2. Netmask : 255.255.255.0.

Adjust the IP to 192.168.168.1 in file mainwindow.cpp

Building

Open the project in QtCreator and build. Or run :

$ /path/to/qmake
$ make

If needed, adjust libavcodec and libswscale include and lib path in file liveview.pro.

## Run

Start the program and connect by clicking the "connect" button.

Liveview resolution summary

I get 432x240 in 4K mode. I get 640x480 in all 4/3 modes. I get 640x640 in all 1:1 modes. I get 848x480 in 1080, 720 and WVGA modes

In file mainwindow.cpp the display resolution (including resizing) is fixed (1024x768). But you can adjust it to match ratio.

TODO

Lot of stuff of course to make the code more portable, auto detection of camera IP, free up all resources...

Intelligent resizing.

Add camera settings.

I don't promise at all that I'll do these.
