使用Node.js处理RTSP以拍摄图像快照

Question

I have a RTSP that I would love to make Node.JS understand. I found a way to do it using Java taking a capture from a webcam but I would love to just use Node.js on this task and get it from a video RTSP'd.

My intention is to use setInterval, grab the stream, convert it to base64 and stream it through Socket.IO to a client so they can see it as a <img> tag on their browser. Much of this will be taken from the guy who make it with a webcam but I only have a RTSP available as video-source.

So, does anyone knows if there's a way to do this?

Answer 1

I really found the answer months ago but forgot I asked here.

My code is at https://github.com/ghostbar/RTSP-Streaming.js . It reads it from an RTSP stream and converts it to JPEG, then to base64 in order to pass it via Socket.IO to the client.

Answer 2

Here's some code with minimal dependencies which can read data from a Webcam and upload it to as an image on the server using Node: https://github.com/josher19/node-jpegcam

You could have it send the data to the client instead of saving it as an image on the server.
