Features of RVCamera component

This version of RVCamera can configure cameras by the following manufacturers:

•Foscam

•Axis

•Panasonic

•D-Link

Planned: Samsung, Planet, Arecont Vision, Trendnet, Smartec, ACTi, Beward, Apexis, Genius, AVIOSYS, Vivitek.

RVCamera recognizes a camera model at the specified address (CameraHost:CameraPort). After that, the camera properties and available commands can be read from the Parameters property (both a list of commands available for the camera, and a list of commands accessible for the specified user (defined in UserName:UserPassword) can be read).

Also, RVCamera can receive an MJPEG video stream from the specified address (URL property), or different types of streams (such as H.264), if third-part libraries are used (FFmpeg or GStreamer).

Additionally, RVCamera can work with USB webcams. It offers the same programming interface to access to USB webcams and IP cameras.

The chart of supported camera models

Note 1: many cameras of other manufactures are clones of the cameras listed in this list, or they use the same protocol. They are also supported by RVMedia.

Note 2: if cameras of other developers support protocols Axis, D-Link, Panasonic, or Foscam cameras, they can be controlled by RVMedia like these cameras. For example, RVMedia can control movement of Samsung cameras supporting the Axis protocol.

Video conferences

Using our components, you can implement a video conferencing software. USB webcam, IP camera, or a video stream from the Internet can be used as a video source. Then you can broadcast this video using the RVCamSender component, and receive it (from a single sender or multiple senders) using the RVCamReceiver component.
