Hello list,

I'm proud to announce (God, I love this phrase!) that rtmpd is officially running on an embedded IP camera.

Hardware details are available here:
http://pastebin.com/yAFpyRus

The running instance of rtmpd can be found here:
http://pastebin.com/6V774bi7

Top command:
http://pastebin.com/bwWwKdpY

Capabilities:

0. h264 hardware encoder :) :) :)
1. All RTMP family: RTMP, RTMPE, RTMPT, RTMPTE, RTMPS
2. Capable of serving RTSP streams from all the streams available in the running instance
3. Capable of connecting to another RTMP server and perform stream publish
4. Capable of serving all the file formats presented here: http://rtmpd.com/browser/trunk/media/README.txt
5. Capable of ingesting RTSP/RTP streams and spit out RTMP
6. Capable of ingesting mpeg-ts and spit out RTMP
7. Capable of ingesting LiveFLV and spit out RTMP
8. Fully working shared objects
9. Fully working application-oriented architecture
10. Interoperability with hardware directly, giving the possibility of playing around with the zoom and the little positioning rotors. In plain english, you can point and zoom from flash directly :)

And, above all, is $180 camera. Which is cheap :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the first RTMP enabled camera? And is running rtmpd, obviously :)


Cheers,
Andrei

Does it go with AAC? And what other technical characteristics?

If yes, it seems that I may buy a couple.

This particular camera, I think not. Not sure though... The tests I've made is to start consume a locally RTSP stream and see it over RTMP and the standard RTMP functionality: shared objects, live publish/play, VOD (all media files described in that link are working). This levels the ground for playback recorded videos diractly on the camera. This particular one accepts a SD card (order of gigabytes). The nice part is that it has hardware support for h264 encoding and is able to output mp4 files as well :)

Sound for live publish/play is supported (the camera acts like a PC server. Nothing was removed to make it work)

Cheers,
Andrei

hi there andrei,
can you tell me more about this proccess on the list h264producer?
i think this is more reliable(or not) then ffmpe to use on that type of
equipment (lowe resources)
because i use crtmpserver with ffmpeg to send tv (and watch in work :D ) tv,
i also use some avermedia tv card with hardware support for h.264 and server
for this is p4 1.7ghz proc utilisation about 30% (remember ther is also
lighttpd to watch tv, and some soft for changing channels thru irda output)

regards for real great work

Honestly, I don't know any details about that one. I only know that is gathering NALUs from the hardware and shove them into a streamer via a pipe. And guess what!? rtmpd will be able to consume that pipe as well :). Now it consumes a locally fed RTSP stream and outputs RTMP. But I will plug it directly on hardware :)


Cheers,
Andrei

as i said i saw this h264produces, propably there is a way to connect it
directly to rtmp (local or remote) server,
i forgot i also test some camera cards and with ffmpeg i also redirect
streams to rtmp server (1 computer with 4 cameras in {coaxial cable directly
to cameras card [propably typical A/V signals]} without audio {only 1 audio
in on cameras card}) i use some p3 700mhz and ffmpeg used to produce mjpeg
5fps but proc was mote then 60% used (divided per 4 there was only 15% per
camera), maybe when i will have more time i will contruct some video
recorder for cameras with crtmpserver ( it is much better than rtsp server
especialy apple crap)

Hi guys,
Glad i can say that Andrei made a really unbelivable job to start this
working on this ARM CPU. The stream is working well.
Camera also will support AAC audio and soon we (i'm just no one :) )
will have first fully working camera with RTMP Server.
Possibilities? Endless.
Stay tuned.
Ps. Pozdrowienia Panie Jaroslawie :) - to wszystko dzieje się w
Polsce :)

Hi all,
Andrei made a god job.. all the IP cameras on the market uses tree protocols to send images: HTTP, RTSP/RTP or TFTP. The most common is RTSP/RTP with dual codec (MJPEG and H.264/MPEG4). You cannot see these cameras on flex withou transcoding other tools, like VLC or ffmpeg. With this work, now is it possible you see images directly inside flex application and configure all the camera parameters. In my opinion, the maket need this... there are a lot of people ask for this kind of cameras.

About the price... I think is not cheap. You pay for a simple analog camera $80 and an IP camera $300.
Is a great oportunity on the market Andrei.
Congratulations,

Cheers,
Nuno Cardoso.
