Net Cam utilities

[brbjr 0]

I find it hard to view IP cameras on mobile phones. So I created a .net service that grabs the pictures from IP cameras and holds it in memory. Then from my phone I can request the picture from the service and specify the image size.

 

Is this something that you might be interested in? I am thinking about putting a UI on it and sale it for a small fee.

 

Things that I currently do with my service:

 

1. Grab pictures from multiple cameras, frame rate approx 5x sec. I can get a mjpeg, jpeg and any source that vlc can view. With vlc I use the snapshot grabber to save a pic to a directory and the service grabs the pictures from the directory.

 

2. Serve the pictures in any size via http. Example I can take multiple IP cameras and multiplex them together and specify size. This is nice on cell phone to see all cameras at once.

 

3. Save pictures off site every x seconds. I not looking to replace NVR software but due to bandwidth it is not possible to save all my cameras offsite at full size. So I multiplex all cameras together then upload them to a offsite server, this is not a super high quality picture but it is better than nothing if someone were to steal my recording server.
