hi,

i'm developing a C# application for my customer. I would like this app to be
able to capture photo using the microsoft's lifecam hd-5000 webcam. to do
this, i will need the SDK, SDK documentation and possibly some sample
sourcecode.

where can i get to donwload these docs?

Thanks.

Looking down the results page, I found this:

I've worked with sdks for Panasonic and Axis IPcams for security
systems, and I think you've got a poor choice of cam to code for with
this one. Good luck.
 
thanks former poster... :D
maybe i should try with a new camera or find some 3rd party webcam class
library. you said that you've once developed software with cams, did you use
its own proprietary sdk or some other 3rd party class?

pleae advise.

Hi mrzoab!

I used their own SDK (not all of them are proprietary, some are open
source) and I never developed software with them, all the work I did was
for these cams being accessed/viewed/controlled remotely from a secure
website using their http command sets. Most of them use C or C based
libraries in their sdks. But my work was also exclusively with IP cams,
not USB cams. I tried to find an sdk published for the Microsoft cam
you listed and I could not. Most cams are inexpensive, but it would be
my suggestion if possible to choose a cam for your project with a decent
sdk and support for it if possible. Good luck.
