Basler Pylon Camera : Can 2 programs connect to Camera at the same time and read the same image captured by camera

Viewed 17

we are using Basler Pylon Camera to capture images, this Camera is controlled by Industrial PC, the software running on this industrial PC captures the image, checks the image and instantly raises an alert if the image is not as expected. Now in parallel I would like to read the same image using the Basler Pylon SDK libraries and store it in my PC for later analytics.

But when I try to connect the camera from the 2nd PC with the code build using SDK tries to connect the Camera, I get an error saying the Camera is already in use by another program ( which in this case is Industrial PC ) ..same happens to IPC software, when it tries to connect to Camera, it gets error other program is already connected,

Want to know if there is any solution to connect from 2 software at same time

Basler Pylon SDK for C++ available here https://docs.baslerweb.com/pylonapi/pylon-sdk-samples-manual#grab_1
