Access Sony QX100 video stream with OpenCV

Question

I want to access the camera's video stream with OpenCV.

Doing so, I connected the camera via WLAN with my Win7 PC. Further, Maybe a possible way to go is by http://ip:port/resource'). I tried e.g. http://10.0.0.1:65534/videostream.cgi?user=admin&pwd=123456&resolution=32" but did not succeed.

Does anyone know the necessary credentials {IP, port, user, password, etc..} for this specific camera's live video stream?

thanks in advance!

Take a look at the Camera Remote API:

Specifically check out the LiveView API. Should allow you to capture the live video stream.
