Part1:ConfiguretheRouter

a) Plugtherouterin.
b) Connecttothatwirelessnetwork,ordirectlytotherouterviaethernet.
c) Goto:http://tplinklogin.net/.(IfyoudonotseetheTPLINKdashboardandinsteadseesome
randomwebpage,pleasemakesureyouareconnectedtoyourrouterandnotsomeother
wirelessnetwork)
d) TheveryfirsttimeyouconfiguretherouteryoushouldrunthroughQuickSetupunderBasic
Settings.ThiswillrequireyoutoconnecttheroutertotheinternetusingtheblueWANporton
theback.
i. AutoDetectLettheRouterautomaticallydetecttheconnectiontypeyourISP
provides.
ii. EnableSecurity,andsetapassword.

e) TakenoteofyourpasswordandSSIDfortherouter.Thecameraneedsthisinformationin

Part2:ConfigureyourCamera

a) Connectthecameratotherouterviaanethernetcableandpoweriton.
b) DeterminethecamerasMACaddressandcurrentIPaddress:

Part4:CapturingandEditingImagesusingMATLAB

1) Readinganimagefromthecamera:

Youshouldbeabletocaptureanimagefromthecamerausingthesameurlsthatwereentered
intothebrowser:

%linksyscamera:
%example:image=
%imread('http://192.168.0.102/img/snapshot.cgi?)
image=imread('http://[IP_ADDRESS]/img/snapshot.cgi?)

%easyncamera:
%example:image=
%imread('http://192.168.0.101:81/snapshot.cgi?)
image=imread('http://[IP_ADDRESS]/snapshot.cgi?)

Wehavehadissueswheretheaboveurlsworkedinthebrowser,butnotthroughMATLAB,if
thisisthecase,thenpassthecamerasusernameandpasswordaspartoftheurlinorderto
captureanimage:

image=
imread('http://[IP_ADDRESS]/snapshot.cgi?user=admin&pwd=&resol
ution=16&rate=0')

2) DisplayacapturedImage:

imshow(image)

3) Indexlayersonanimage

red_layer=image(:,:,1)
green_layer=image(:,:,2)
blue_layer=image(:,:,3)


4) Findtheresolutionoftheimage

resolution=size(image)
resolution=resolution(1:2)

5) ConvertanRGBimagetoGrayscale

gray_image=rgb2gray(image)

6) Drawonanimage

draw_image=image
draw_image([50:100],[50:100],:)=0
