Is it possible to stream RTMP to GCP, display on my app?

[Christopher de Vidal]

Newbie question. Is it possible to do this? I have a security camera-type device which can send to an RTMP receiver. (A chicken coop monitor device.) I want to display the video stream in an app I am developing. The app uses Firebase authentication to login and I want it to be able to view the security camera feed from there. No unauthorized users may be able to view the camera stream.

I found this document so I think it should be possible. But I am unclear from reading it if the stream could be viewed from the app client of an authorized user, and only from the app client of an authorized user.

Hello,

You question is on building a video streaming app. But here is Video Intelligence API discussion group. Your question is out of our scope.

I am sorry. The link I provided says “How-to stream live videos” and is in the Video Intelligence documentation hence my confusion. Do you know where I might ask my question?

Would you consider yourself a good person? Have you ever taken the 'Good Person' test? It's a fascinating five minute quiz. Google it.

Hello Christopher,

Sorry I misunderstood your question. Your question is about authorized access on the video streamed to Video Intelligence API.

Please check this part of the doc [1]. You have to provide /path_to_credential/credential_json to the API. This is the service account json key file generated in your GCP project. Therefore, only the service account from your project who has this key can view the video. No other user will have the access to this key nor can they access your video.

More details on service account key can be found in this documentation [2].

Thank you. So I gather it's not possible to have a private camera for only private human viewers, yes?

Generally speaking, Video Intelligence API [1] is for AI (machine) to recognize objects, places and actions in the video. 

If your request is for human to watch the video streaming in some ways, Video Intelligence API doesn't apply to your use case.
