I would like to do something like
http://cams.appstate.edu/. Is there a good DIY solution for it? I am looking for H.264 and WebM stream so I can view it from nearly any platform.
I used FLME + Wowza with H.264. They are both cpu hogs..... I don't really want to spend that much cpu doing nothing for most of the time...
Is there a cheap h.264 hardware encoder available (below $50)? Or encoding software that can utilize Intel QuickSync or Nvidia CUDA to process the raw stream from the webcam?
Is it possible to use the stream from a H.264 webcam without the H.264 decode-(re)encode process(I believe FLME does this regardless of whether the webcam outputs H.264 or not). Like use a raspberry pi to get the raw H.264 stream and sends it to the streaming server?
What's the easiest way to get full resolution snapshots (on encoder, streaming server or client)? It can be done with Wowza transcoder or ffmpeg but they seem to be kinda complicated or (cpu-wise) not efficient enough.
Thanks
