Video Surveliance application by connecting DVR

Question

I am trying to connect to the DVR so that I can view video recording on my IOS device, I tried to search a lot but could not find a single useful link to move ahead with connecting to the DVR. I found that, it can be done using FFMPEG, but could not be able to do what to do and how to do.

What I need to do is: connect to the IP address and port where the DVR is configured, give username and password for that DVR to connect to the DVR. Something like following link:

Guide me with useful links to move ahead with connecting to the DVR.

Answer 1

You could try to connect with the DVR by using VLC (tldp.org/HOWTO/VideoLAN-HOWTO/x549.html). If any of the supported protocols works, then try to gather the stream with VLCforIOs by using the binding V4L4J (code.google.com/p/v4l4j). It uses FFMPEG so many codecs are supported. There is many examples for fetching an stream code.google.com/p/v4l4j/wiki/Examples
