anyone know if there's a way to use an IP based camera with Red5, or FMS,
I know you can "layer" an RTMP over RTSP to force a FMS to use an RTSP stream , but can you get an IP camera
to connect using RTSP ..
thanks in advance..
I honestly don't see why not, but I have never tried. It's a brilliant question and I'd love to know along with you.
Do you have a camera now? Would it be wirelessly available directly to the server or are you looking at an external domain?
No I dont have a camera yet...
What i want to do is just have the camera connected to a router, with it's own IP , then have an RTMP stream go to
the Flash app. I've read where Wowza Media Server has RTSP input support..
(as does Red5).
Cameras that have RTSP support , usually come with their own software and require a web browser on site.This is where i dont know shit is with the cameras..
So what i want to do is ..connect the camera to a router..send an RTSP stream to Wowza MS or Red5 ( if it works, I've read that Wowza does ) and send the
RTMP output to FMS or directly to Flash Apps on Red 5..
here's what this link said..
"
myRemoteConn = new NetConnection();
myRemoteConn.connect("rtmp://wowzaserverhost/streamtest");
myStream = Stream.get("myStream");
myStream.play("my_stream.sdp", 0, -1, true, myRemoteConn);
"
you can do this, streaming any IP network camera to FMS as is described here;

by modifying the popular Macam source (for mac) you can create a virtual camera that is seen as a normal USB webcam on the host system, and easily streamable to any FMS/Wowza/Red5 or other host as normal.
Maybe you can try a native implementation. Check out this:
