Manufacturing Of Video Servers For Online Cctv Solution

To provide between 1 and 4 fairly low-bitrate live streams (100-500Kb/sec) suitable for direct viewing in the Adobe Flash player (assume version 10 and above). This would make the "connector" application literally a data connector rather than having to have any repackaging or transcoding functionality which will cost development time and server power. Non-requirements It's also worth specifying what you don't need, compared to similar devices on the market, to reduce costs: No DVR storage No Quad-mode or other image manipulation No camera PTZ control No audio No on-device user interface (everything controlled through Web interface or telnet) Streaming requirements HTTP fetch with authentication (username/password) Each camera feed is an independent HTTP connection, with parameterised URL - e.g. http://
/get-stream?channel=x (x=1,2,3,4) Option to lock only to particular HTTP client IP address (our server) Encode to H.264, video only, Main profile (or as supported by Flash), bitrate configurable between 100Kb/sec and 500Kb/sec constrained VBR, other configuration options to be discussed Encapsulate in either FLV or MPEG-4 container (MP4V etc.). The latter is preferred. Hinting/indexing will not be required because the stream is not seekable. See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402866.html for supported formats Camera Interface Requirements To directly link to composite camera feed Demonstration requirements To demonstrate the principle will require streaming from the encoder device to a standard Adobe flash video player in a browser such as IE or Firefox, without download of any other codecs, plugins etc. We have such a player, or you could use FlowPlayer (www.flowplayer.org).
