Camera Usage

Connect USB, IP, and industrial cameras to AugeLab Studio.

AugeLab Studio supports multiple camera types through dedicated blocks. This section helps you pick the right camera block and get a stable live image stream first (then you can start your vision pipeline).

Quick start (choose your camera type)

• USB webcam / UVC camera → use USB cameras

• IP camera with RTSP → use IP (RTSP)

• IP camera with ONVIF → use IP (ONVIF)

• Industrial cameras with vendor SDK → see:

  • Basler

  • HikRobot

  • iRayple

If you can preview your camera in the vendor tool (pylon Viewer, HikRobot MVS, iRayple platform) but not in AugeLab Studio, it is usually a driver, IP, or firewall issue—not a vision pipeline issue.

Before you start (recommended checklist)

1. Power + cable: Confirm the camera is powered and connected (USB / Ethernet / PoE).

2. Vendor viewer: Verify you can see a live image in the vendor software (or in VLC for RTSP).

3. One app at a time: Close other software that may be holding the camera.

4. Network (GigE/IP): Put the camera and PC on the same subnet; avoid Wi‑Fi for streaming.

How to find camera blocks in AugeLab Studio

Most camera blocks are under the blocks library in Input/Output → Image Inputs. If a camera type is delivered as a plugin, install it from the Plugin Window.
