Is it Linux based project?

Hi Sir,

I would like to ask for your project here, is it mainly running on Linux platform only? Because I currently having such similar project which I need to live stream my laptop's webcam to an android application, but I am in Window platform.

Thank you

Hi there,

I haven't tested it on windows myself but it should work with all Operating Systems that support Java. I've tested it on mac and linux and both work fine.

I can test it on windows and get back to you if it helps.

Thanks

Hi itshushi,

I tried to run on Window and I guess that it works, it show me a window that allows me to pick the camera and another window that seems to be showing to connectivity diagram. Is the the correct output? and may I know how I going to connect it with my mobile?

Thank you.

That is the correct output, yes. The application also runs a MJPEG stream of the camera (i.e the application also works as a server to stream the camera). You can test the stream by viewing http://localhost:8080 or http://youlocalip:8080.

To connect the stream with a mobile I have used an API called simplemjpegview in Android.
I have a separate project with the Android app in. Here is the link: https://github.com/itshusi/SmartHomeApp
If you look inside the camera/simplemjpeg package under the AmbilightActivity class you will see that an IP address and port can be set to view a stream in the app.

Hi itshushi,

I had tried your android apps and it work fine for the webcam connection, and I really glad about because I been seeking for something like this for few months.

Besides I would like to ask your whole project actually is a fully function Smart Home System? not only with the function of viewing the webcam? and is it okay if I use partial of your system in my final year project?

Thank you.

Hi ricerd95,

Great! I'm glad the app was working for you and glad I could help.

As a group project, our objectives were to create a Smart Home System. Unfortunately is isn't fully functioning but some parts are functioning properly.

And yes, you may partially use my system in your project.

Best Regards,
Huseyin

Hi Huseyin,

Thank you for your reply :)

May I know how your connection and live streaming work, I was trying to understand by going through your code...but sadly due to my limited knowledge I still unable to understand it well.

Thank you.
