IP Camera Viewer

Question

I am looking for software, a web application, or website for viewing IP camera streams from an Android device.

Must Haves:

• Ability to view/connect multiple streams at once
• Ability to load sound with the stream (MJPEG+WAV, Flash, etc.)
• Ability to record the stream locally

Nice to haves:

• Ability to control Android device's LED

• Ability to send audio to be played through speaker

• Multi-platform compatible (esp. Windows 10, Android, and Linux)

• Interface customizability

More Info:

I am using IP Cam to stream video and audio from my Android device, but am open to other app suggestions here: Question: IP Camera Application for Android

Clarification: This is a separate question from IP Camera Application for Android as this is the client side of a client server system.

Answer 1

I monitor 8 cameras with a linux daemon called motion It reads the capture card for 5, and streams data from three netcams. It also supports USB cameras, subject to bandwidth.

Then I can view an html page which contains 8 HTML links like this

<img src="http://server:9871"> <br>
<img src="http://server:9872">

and I can see all cameras in my browser.

Downsides, I have not explored audio because recording audio without consent in my country would be illegal.

Downside - you'll need a linux box, physical if you need USB or capture cards, or a virtual would be okay if you just use network cameras.

The streams are recorded in the linux server not on the viewing device, and for me 90 days of 8 cameras footage is around 800GB to 1TB.

Good side is all you need is a web browser, so this works in any modern web browser
