Camera Stream

[mattytheratty]

Hi, is there any easy way to stream a camera feed from one android device to another over WiFi etc?

Any help on this is appreciated.

Thanks,

See this example: Android based Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) example

You will need to implement a similar server solution.

If I understand this correctly, this actually sends frames (actual images) over the network, which are constantly updated in the server app. Is there a way to send an actual stream, and by that I mean a flow of info in a more efficient way ( I imagine the webcam apps send a flow of changed pixels from moment to moment, but do correct me if I'm wrong since this is just a guess). I'm thinking this way since the transmission is intermittent with the example above, even if I modified the sending interval to about 5 ms. I was also thinking of reducing the image size, but so far I didn't manage to do that.

Any suggestions?

Also what about a complete media stream (i.e. including audio)?

You will need an efficient video encoder for that. Such an encoder is not available.

Streaming audio is possible: Walkie Talkie - Audio streaming over Wifi or Bluetooth
