can c++ be use in creating a software to view the output of a wireless camera live in my computer? like a software used in DVR. Noob here. Thank you.

I don't see why not you can use it for any other i/o device AFAIK that's why people use it to program microprocessors and stuff.

[EwCjE3v7]

Yes but it will need years of training

[giblit]

Not necessarily....

[EwCjE3v7]

Dude he wants to make a program that will need alot of work...just imagine...can u make it

[Daleth]

I guess at least a year's worth of practising C++ before tackling something like that. But there are probably some APIs that would help ease the difficulty.

I know..a wireless webcam...he will need to include the ip stuff and all that...and the view of his cam..but like Dalkeith said he can get APIs

[zsteve]

definitely possible, but hard, and lots of research and knowledge needed about system I/O, video stuff, networking etc

[yamskie19]

do you have any suggestion what programming languge i should use?
thank you for all of your replies.

[EwCjE3v7]

There are loads to chose from...But i would suggest c++...Probably everyone here would. :)

[yamskie19]

can u give me a link where can i study stuff needed for it? thank you.

Check out gstreamer. It has many of the tools you might need. It's written in C, but you can use C++ if you want to.
