Create Stream from IP Cam

[lavitz]

Hi,
I just bought IP Camera. It does not support rstp. I can access it using http with http auth.
I plan to connect it to my CCTV server which only support rstp.
How I can make rstp with vlc from my ipcam?


Thanks

Please look at the streaming docs on our wiki.

Scenario:
private LAN -> Multiple IP Cams-> Transcode->RTP/MPEG Transport Stream (IIS webserver on the same machine as VLC Server). One webpage has VLC activeX embedded , one for each camera's transcoded stream
Able to browse the webpage on the webserver with embedded VLC ActiveX and watch the live stream.
Able to browse the same page from any other machine (outside LAN) , unable to watch the stream, ( Rest the webapplication works fine from WAN side. Only Stream page does not show the streamin VLC ActiveX)
Question 1:
when acessing the stream thru ActiveX control, VLC server to VLC client communication is thru port 80 or the respective ports given when streaming ex:5004.
Question 2: what all the ports need to be opened so that VLC ActiveX can access the server RTP stream.
Question 3: If there are inherent limitations streaming thru RTp for this scenario, what is the alternate protocol or setup required to achieve the goal.
I invite any VLC expert to help us implement this for us on consulting basis. contact jrrhpl at gmail dot com
