Action Recognition via IP Camera Stream #666
Conversation
…y frame over the specified IP and port. * Stream on Pillow, OpenCV etc. With 3rd libraries, the visual process goes through certain stages. * Frames received from the stream are passed through the action recognition algorithm with predict_frames(). * Output of action recognition and frames read from ip camera are displayed in a widget on the screen.

Thanks for this contribution! I left a couple of comments in the code. More importantly however this would introduce a lot of duplicate code (since only the footage input changes, but not most of the other logic).
Also this is introducing a new dependency of this repo on OpenCV (see comment I left in code) which has its own challenges.
I believe the best way forward, given that most is duplicate code, could be to not add new functionality in the nodebook but rather to add a quick appendix with a few sentences explaining how one would implement IP camera streaming themselves.

This would add a new dependency on opencv to this repository. We made the decision to avoid such (at least no hard requirement) since OpenCV can lead to deployment problems.

Should avoid hard-coded url.

Description
In the
computervision-recipes/scenarios/action_recognition/00_webcam.ipynbstudy, the feature of performing the action recognition process for the instant stream provided over the information of an ip camera, similar to the action recognition process on the frame provided by the webcam.Related Issues
