I want to develop a cctv camera app and I don't know what steps I need to take.
i have the data below for connecting cctv camera:
Ip address
port ID
user name
password
i checked live555 and RTMPStreamPublisher demo from here, but i don't know where I should start. i also read that i should use the ffmpeg framework.
What I want is an app similar to kView on itunes. This app is able to stream a cctv camera feed with the above configuration detials
Does anyone know what direction I need to go in? Is there a demo or open-source app that accomplishes this?
i am not familar with ios development. Usually people build this kind of application base on ffmpeg. you can also try gstreamer.

i would like to stream Dron video from the controler (Dji mavic air 2 with a RC-N1 controler) via RTMP direktly from the controler/my Phone to my PC wihl i am in the fields without having any internet conection or an extra Network. Is that some how possible?
First, you still need a network. You can create a hotspot using a computer (laptop) or a device that connects to the RC-controller (phone, tablet).
Secondly, you need an RTMP server that will be located in this network. As a quick example, I can recommend MonaServer2, it is easy to install and run.
Thirdly, you need someone who will "listen" to the server when the stream comes to it. For example, you can use a VLC player. Launch it and specify RTMP stream as a source.
So, you start the RTMP-server, let's say it is located at 192.168.0.1:1935. On your device connected to the RC-controller, using the standard DJI-Fly application or your own app developed using Mobile SDK, select the option to start streaming, specify the address: rtmp://192.168.0.1:1935/live. Next, launch VLC-Player, select File->Open Network Stream and type rtmp://192.168.0.1:1935/live in URL field. Now you will be able to watch live-stream in your VLC window.
This is the fastest and easiest way I can recommend.
Also you can take raw h264 frames from camera, send them to decoder and do whatever you want. If you need some more info about it feel free to ask. Hope it helps!
I want to be able to enable a user on a video networking web platform to only need to grant camera permission one time, and be able to have separate video chats with multiple users.Part of the 'event" will have multiple one to one video chats. There is a one to one video chat with one user. it ends. there is another 1 to one video chat with another user. It ends, etc.... As it is this permission is needed to be granted for each separate video chat. I am having this issue primarily with ios on safari. I am having someone else build this web platform and the person is not able to solve this issue with the video plug in they are using. They claim it is an issue with mac devices that cannot grant permission to particular websites. But I know that this issue has been solved with other networking platforms. Can I accomplish this with tokbox (vonage)? Or please tell me what video platform to use and the specific way to accomplish this. I am not a developer but will pass on exactly what you give me to my developer team. I am considering having the website be rebuilt with tokbox but first want to be sure that I can accomplish this. The website it being built with PHP but this issue is so sognificant that I might have it bilt from scratch in whatever way is needed. Thank you very much!!!! I know this issue is solveable as I've seen this on other platforms - Zoom and other video networking platforms like remo.. thanks!!!
The Agora web SDK requests the browser for camera and microphone permissions. Now remembering these permissions is done by the browser itself and not the JavaScript SDK.
As to answer how other platforms offer this is because those are native apps and not a mobile website. So they don't have to play by the rules of the browser. If you are interested in that, you can take a look at our IOS SDK.

I'm working on an app that connects to a security camera. The camera has its own SIP server (Asterisk).
I'm having a very hard time finding a reliable iOS library to connect to the camera.
Can anyone recommend a high-quality SIP library that will stream video? I've tried several so far and none of them are fit for the task (I don't want mention them by name).
Or is there another way to access the video (using webRTC or possibly AVFoundation via the Asterisk server)?
I do not have a lot of experience with hardware, so I'm a bit lost.
What are you looking for called MCU(media control unit). There are some free availible for vido, but all are early beta and very hard to setup.
I have a Chinese "P2P Wifi Camera" (model Q5) that i'd like to connect to from an iOS app.
The camera can operate in "LAN Mode" - in this mode i'm connecting from the phone/computer to the wifi network of the camera itself, and an app called "P2PCamViewer" displays the current picture.
However, i wasn't able to connect to it using my own code.
As far as i can tell, the camera doesn't respond to HTTP or RTSP requests, on any port (probed it using nmap). i also wasn't able to find any mac app that can connect to it.
I suspect the camera is somehow transmitting the data via a RTP stream, but i wasn't able to connect to it.
I've tried other similar cameras, but they seem also to operate in the same unknown protocol.
Ideally, i'd like to find a solution to connect to it from something like VLC, and then use VLCKit on my iOS app to connect to it.
Thanks!
If you just want to get the stream from the camera to your app, there are other ways.
Each IP Camera should have been configured with RTSP URI by the manufacturer. Check in their website or in user manual. For example: rtsp://192.168.0.5/video.
If you couldn't find the URI, refer this link for "How can I find the right RTSP URI for my IP camera?": http://ipcamlive.com/faqs.
Related software download link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/
Using this RTSP URI, you can use any RTSP player example and get the camera feed to your app.
I'd like to stream video from the camera on an iOS device to a receiver via wifi, in effect turning the device into a wireless webcam. Is there a way to build a small app that captures video input on an iOS app and sends it via an RTSP stream or similar?
As this is an ad hoc experiment, I'm not concerned about App Store guidelines and can jailbreak if necessary.
If I interpret your question correctly you more or less need to solve four problems:
Get the camera feed.
Convert/encode this to the right format.
Stream the data.
Prevent the phone from locking itself and going into deep sleep.
The first one is fairly simple and Apple has as always provided good documentation and examples -> API link. Make sure you check out their example in the end as you will get a CMSampleBufferRef data object back.
For the second and third part, you should check out the CFNetwork framework and specially CFFTPStream for streaming using FTP.
If your are only building this for yourself then you can always turn off the Auto-Lock feature in the settings. If you on the other hand would like to distribute this to other users you could use a trick to play a mute sound every 10 seconds. This is more or less how all the alarm clocks work in the App Store. Here's a tutorial. =)
I hope I helped a little bit at least.
Good luck and best regards!
I'm 70% of the way to doing the same thing. Here's how I did it:
Capture content from video input
Chop video into files for use in HTML Live Streaming.
Spin up a web server on the iPhone and make the video files available.
Connect to the IP address of the phone and viola! you've got live streaming video.
Last time I touched the code I was trying to debug my Live Streaming not working. I'll try and get my source code posted on github this weekend, if you'd like to take a look.
