Hi Andreas,

recording IP-cameras was discussed previously already.
A solution to this would be to use some gstreamer modules that handle rtp-connections. I don't know how easy this will be with the recent changes in the capture agents architecture for 1.1. With 1.0 it is not possible.

In general I see many problems when it come to record live streams from IP-cameras (especially muxed streams), as you can encounter unexpected delays, if you don't have ideal conditions. We have an Axis Q1755 and I made some test to record it from a distant server (camera in a classroom on the campus and the server in the server farm).

In a two hour recording with VLC I always encountered massive delays between audio and video (up to 5 minutes) I can notive the network lags in the recordings.

The Q1755 has an build in SD-Card and the ability to push the recording to an FTP-Server. Unfortunately in both cases the camera does not store the audio.

What camera do you intend to use?

Regards
Rüdiger

Aloha to all users,

i am new to Matterhorn and i made the last days my first steps. (babysteps)

I installed the software on a ubuntu 10.04 and it works fine. About the A/V-Input i thought i use a network-based webcam which can stream multiple videos (speaker
and blackboard for example).
My question was now - how can i get the livestream into the system. I thought - with a lot of support from our software-guru's - create a "special point" in the operating system like /dev/specialpoint and pipe the livestream with vlc to this point. Than - use the capture agent from Matterhorn and record from this "special point".

Has anyone thought about this setting?
