title: How to use external HD video camera as input for a Visual Studio, OpenCV project?
body: <p>I am doing a project regarding image processing and multiple person counting and was wondering, how exactly can I plug my ION AIR PRO PLUS video recording device (similar to a goPro), and use it as my 'webcam'? Basically, I want to plug it in and then access it via a live feed using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and OpenCV, and then do real time tracking of people walking. </p>
  
  <p>What I am struggling with is accessing the external camera from my program. Anyone know how to do this? </p>
  
  <p>The video camera has no wifi, only an hdmi output, RGB cable output and a USB. </p>
