Baby Monitor - view live streaming video on iPhone

I am in search of a webcam (to use as a baby monitor) that I can use with my iPhone to view live streaming video from...
Can someone please recommend a webcam (ideally with a low-light setting, because babies like to sleep in the dark;) and a capable app from the app store that would help me achieve this?
Thanks!

That is going to be a very custom app. I really doubt it will be in the app store. I understand the idea. I have a monitor myself that has video. I would have to hook up that video monitor to an input device on a computer networked in the home. For me this would entail video monitor output to a camcorder to firewire to imac. could get quite complicated. Even doing this much could encounter problems like each interface having to be set up correctly. once that is done, you might be able to use the bonjour networking to get from iphone to imac. all of this is hypothetical though. interesting scenario though

Using iPad to view live streaming video?

Hi,
I currently got a gig recording game day videos for a local school. Right now, I'm recording with a panasonic digital camera with a firewire 800 cable going straight to my Macbook Pro. I am using iMovie right now to record it "live."
We saw an other school have a similar setup, but they are also able to stream the video to their coach's iPad. I've asked their video guy, but he didn't want to share his setup. Is there a software or additional hardware that is needed to make this possible? Any advice would be great, and thanks for your help in advance.
Cheers!

ah the old blue lego. i think means that the video/site requires flash. which the ipod touch doesn't have. and as of yet is not available.

Audio only when using iPad with Safari: can I view live streaming video via Safari?

I only get audio on streaming broadcasts when I click on the AirPlay Icon in the progress bar? Can anyone help me get the video to display as well?

Websites have to have content in compatible format AND also need to allow video streaming - if both conditions are not met then Airplay will often give sound only.
If iPad 2 try turning on full mirroring (Home button twice, swipe all way to right, Airplay and set Mirroring slider to on).

WRT54G ver 6. Buffering problems when viewing live streaming Video!

Whenever my computer is connected to the computer through linksys WRT54G router, Windows Media Player do a lot of buffering. (after every 10 seconds or so). But when I connect to the internet directly through the cable modem, I don't see any buffering and I can watch the video without any problem.
Any advice!

I've tried most suggestions with no luck. I've got a WRT54G v6 router with the 1.01.1 updated firmware. Videos from MSNBC, CNN, CBS, etc... just don't want to run smoothly- and this is on a wired connection to the router. All 3 computers hooked to router have this problem. Choppy video or the video stops and the audio continues- or than everything pauses. I have decent connect speeds- avg test is:
9.66Mbps or 1.20MBytes/sec... I switched back to my old Linksys wired router and the videos played fine-connections speeds were consistent as well. I use the wireless access for a Wii. All computers are wired into the router. I am figuring it MUST be the router since my old router makes the problem go away...but I need the wireless access on the WRT54G for my Wii. I did not notice if this problem was there before I upgraded the firmware since I did the upgrade when I installed the new router. Thanks for any advice.

Watching ESPN3 Live Streaming Video on Apple TV

Can I view live streaming video (such as an ESPN3.com broadcast) on my Apple TV? Basically I want to know if Apple TV can display what is on the monitor of my MacBook Air on my TV.

I'm currently testing the free trial. Works pretty good.

Live Streaming video and Flex2(3?) + Flash Media Server?

I've seen alot of topic on how to create video sites for
clips, etc. with Flex and Flash Media Server, but how about live
streaming video, like a concert or a seminar. I can't find any
information on this at all, could anyone point me in the right
direction?

What you need is grab video/sound form camera/mic, publish it
on FMS and let the other clients play it. In a few steps:
// get camera and mic
var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera(); // get default camera
var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone(); // get
default mic
// if you have VideoDisplay, for monitoring
videoDisplay.attachCamera(cam);
// create new RTMP connection to FMS/your app
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
// new stream should be create *after* nc has connected, not
before
// so this is executed after the below nc.connect() succeeds
nc.attachEventListener(Event.CONNECT, function(){
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream();
ns.attachCamera(cam);
ns.attachMicrophone(mic);
ns.publish("streamname", "live"); // or "record" if you want
to live+rec
// connect to default instance of app 'appname' on your FMS
nc.connect("rtmp://fms.ip.address/appname");
If you're using Flex2 and FMS2 (the latest FMS is 3), you
might need to
cuange the connection encoding to AMF0 (which is what FMS2
uses) in order for this to work.
Hope this helps; I've written it from my head so it probably
has mistakes, but it's the general workflow; the docs in the
language reference for specific functions mentioned here will also
help.

Creating a custom player for live streaming video

I have live streaming video set up where I use the Flash Media Encoder to send the live stream to a Flash Media Server. Then, the Flash Media server packages this stream, and sends it to whatever websites requests it via the url. I know how to create a Flash move or even asc file, and then have Flash generate the html for that saved movie so that I can embed it in a web page and play it. But in the case of live streaming video, there is no pre made asc file or movie to reference. So I need some help about what I need to do to play live streaming video in a flash player embedded in a webpage, that will also have some custom action script for controlling playback and other things.

About a half-hour after making the changes I outlined above, and long after I closed the active Safari window, noticed that my MBP was uncharacteristically hot. Extremely hot!
Opened Activity Monitor and saw that Flash Player was still running (?) and using a tremendous amount of system resources. I then quit Safari altogether. Within moments, the heat began to subside.
May be something you want to keep an eye on...

AIR SDK 16 (and 15): live stream video pauses when from non-iOS to iOS

Using either sdk 15 or 16, when live streaming video through media server, if I go from iOS to iOS devices, no issue. If I go from non-iOS device to iOS device, the non-iOS device receives the video and audio fine from the iOS device, but on the iOS device the video it receives freezes (almost from the start, after a couple of frames, then long, long pause of freeze - minutes long - then a few more frames, then freezing, etc.) - the audio is fine, it appears to be just the video. I have tested this with android to android (fine), android to desktop (fine), iOS to iOS (fine), android to iOS (freezing video only on iOS side), iOS to desktop (freezing only on iOS side).

VideoTexture is a HUGE improvement for video on Windows and iOS. I am testing on Windows 8 and iPhone 6, but VideoTexture is still in beta and will take a few more months to get the kinks worked out. It is working for me on iOS sometimes, and whenever it works the pixels have a transparency applied to them. I have logged that pixel transparency bug here:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3936111
Also you will notice that Adobe has mentioned the following in the known issues section:
[Air Desktop] [Video Texture] Video is not playing if texture is used as ConcreteTexture of starling.(3949908)
(Release Notes | Flash Player® 17 AIR® 17)
On iOS the VideoTexture seems to work for MP4s loaded directly from the file system, but RTMP is not ready yet. But when it is ready, I suggest that you adopt it immediately since VideoTexture is where Adobe is focusing it's video efforts.

Multiple Live Streaming Video in flash?

Hello Everyone,
I have this project in mind which I want to create a video
montage of different live streaming videos from a few different
users with their webcam in different locations. There will be the
website which the participants will be able to view the live video
montage in real time. However, I am unsure of where to start with
(live video & server). Therefore I will be really thrilled if
someone knows an example similar to this or someone who can offer
me a lead in this topic!!
I have knowledge in flash and abit of actionscripting.
Much THANKS!!
jen

The 2-way video chat module example in the sample chapter
from "Learning Flash Media Server 3" should give you some ideas.
Obviously, you only want the 1-way (user to server) part of
that, as you'll be displaying the video montage I guess in a web
page as a set of regular flash streams.

Sample chapter (PDF) :

It looks to be an O'Reilly book, so you may be able to get
the whole thing online, or get it delivered from O'Reilly or Amazon
in a few days.

Live streaming video issues

I look after a little old ladies PC in Australia from Canada. She used to watch live video from a webcam in Canada looking at the snow & ice but now with a new HP PC she can't view the live feed... or to be more precise she can view it but the site won't load properly and displays a still image.
If the browser is refreshed the image updates but is a still image.
We can see the time-stamp so we know there is a snapshot of the video being taken but it won't update with the live feed.
I did read other posts about similar issues but can't seem to find an answer.
I have updated her Windows media player, uninstalled then re-installed both Flash & Shockwave to the latest versions but still the video won't play properly.
She can watch other live streaming videos but there just seems to be an issue with this one in particular.
I have tried the same webcam feed from other PCs in Canada and the UK with no issues.
She has an HP610-1010a Touchsmart with ATI Radeo HD5570 graphic card installed.
Can anyone suggest something else I may be overlooking...?
Thanks
Malcolm

Hi,
I tested on 5 machines: 1 HP laptop, 2 Dell laptops, 1 Apple and 1 Surface. I think we NEED NBN, my connection speed is not very fast but still reasonable but the machines took ages to just go to the first one. The second one was a bit faster but ONLY refresh frame when hit F5.
Regards.

How to create encrypted HTTP Live Streaming Videos?

Does Compressor4 have any features (or scripts that can be run post-compression) to create encrypted HTTP Live Streaming Videos?
It works great for creating UNencrypted ones, but I need to make some encrypted ones also.

I found it out: You have to use "New Batch From Template" and choose “HTTP Live Streaming". Then you have to create a new folder where the output goes to in the "Information" window. There is also a checkbox which instructs Compressor to create a "readme.html".
Then a folder for every quality setting is created, where all the .ts files go to and the playlist files as well. Works like a charm, as soon as you found out how to do it.

Cannot watch live streaming video

I am trying to use Quick Time to watch live streaming video. However, when I click on the link, I get the following sequence:
"Negotiating"
"Waiting for media"...with a countdown
"Switching transports"...this goes on for a long time
"Disconnected"
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Quick Time and the problem persists. Any suggestions for this techno-laggard? Thanks!

Here is the link: http://dev.centralsynagogue.org/index.php/worship/multimedia/streaming/
However, the streaming only happens at 6 p.m. on Friday evenings and 10:30 a.m. on Saturday mornings.
Some additional information:
Although I initially get a "Connecting" message (at the appointed hour), it then changes to "Switching Transport" and then to "Disconnected." Alternately, if I try to copy the URL from the website into the Quick Time "Open URL" option on the File menu, I get an error message that says, Error 47, Invalid URL.
Very frustrating...any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Record Live Streaming Video

Does iMovie allow me to play and simultaneously record live streaming video?

I did not make myself clear. I want to capture the live streaming video from a local television station web feed. It seems iMovie does not do that or I don't know how to make it record. What application allows me to record the streaming feed? Thanks again.
