Question

IP Cameras

Hi all, I'm reading the forum since 3 days ago, and I have a Flash Media Server Installed. I cannot found how to stream video from IP camera.

I have 3 cameras that streams video in RTSP, and I want to reStream the video using the Flash Media Server. It is possible to do? Perhaps I need Camera's with specific format/protocol? the only requirement I have is that i have to use IP cameras.

I cannot see anywhere how to do this, and I think it should not be a strange thing...

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Jordi

    Hi grjordi,
    You should be able to use multiple cameras and publish them to the FMS server using both Action Script and FMLE.
    In AS, you should mention the camera number in the Camera API which you are using in the code.
    Using FMLE you have option to select the camera and then publish the stream. You can use multiple instances of FMLE. But I am not sure how it can affect the performance of the client machine.

    FMS is not capable of receiving an RTSP stream... only RTMP.

    You might want to look into Wowza Media Server. My understanding is that it supports RTSP. Perhaps you can use Wowza to receive the RTSP stream and push it to your FMS app via RTMP (but you might want to check the FMS Eula to see if that's allowed).

    Thanks JayCharles,

    I took a look at Wowza media server last week, and it's possible to red RTSP if t's on h.264 format (usaully the ip cameras make rtsp with mjpeg). So I have to make transcoding, and I think that all will be very complicated for a very simple thing (conceptually): Streaming 3 cameras...

    Also I take a look at Flash Media Encoder, but its not able to read RTSP..

    If would be easier if I use USB webcams? It's possible to attach 3 or more webcams to a server and stream it to FMS? Perhaps with three Instances of Flash Media Encoder? or directly with ActionScript Code?

    I have the requirement to use IP cameras, but if it's not posible to to with that I can propose an alternative.


    Thanks again for your time,
    Jordi
