We are developing a project and a part of this project is showing live preview on web page. I should use multicast stream because there will be too many clients and none of them will directly connect to camera. I want to use multicast property of camera and no need to increase network traffic. I want to this very simple, I mean I want to show the stream on html img tag or something like this and give the source path (for ex : ) multicast IP address of the camera. I googled and could not find any clear solution. By the way I want to support all browsers so html img tag I prefered. I do not want to embed any video stream plugin because cross platform supporting. I need ideas or suggestion and a clear example. Thanks in advance..
There are many ways, you can directly insert rtsp link inside your webpage using vlc plugin or Quicktime plugin, or you can make a server to read stream from the camera(may be using nodejs or gstreamer or opencv etc) and broadcast it to a http ip or send it in base64 images to webport and on the website you can read it using websockets, socket.io library
