PTPCam LabVIEW Toolkit 1.3

A LabVIEW still camera drivers that based on PTP (picture transfer protocol). PTP is the new standard for still imaging devices such as still camera and scanner that communicate over USB or IEEE1394/firewire bus. Camera vendors do not need to provide special drivers for PTP compliance cameras, its being widely supported by many brand names such as Kodak, HP, Sony, Canon, Nikon etc.

Although PTP is OS independant, PTPCam LabVIEW toolkit only works for
windows version. (WinXP or higher). This toolkit can be used together with IVision LabVIEW toolkit or other image processing toolkit for further image processing and display. If user is looking for functions for video camera instead of still camera, they should look at IVision LabVIEW toolkit, because there are many functions for video cameras in IVision toolkit.

Depends on your camera, you have more or less control over your camera
remotely via PC. A good one such as Nikon coolpix 5700, coolpix 8700 provides many camera settings to be controlled remotely. Camera settings include zoom, contrast, image width, focus, exposure and height etc.
