Mobile Camera is an application that can be installed on cell phones and tablets running IOS (Apple) and Android (Google).
With this application you can turn your cell phone into a mobile remote camera and transmit live video to your VMS server via wireless or 3g/4g/etc connectivity.
In order for the VMS server to receive images from the Mobile Camera application, it needs an intermediary service (which can be running on the same VMS server or on a separate server), called Mobile Camera Server:
The Mobile Camera application, installed on the smartphone or tablet, will connect to the Mobile Camera Server and send the video. The Mobile Camera Server service will in turn forward the images to the VMS server, which will consider each cell phone as a camera registered in the system.
Each mobile device will be independently registered and identified on the VMS server and a camera license will be required for each device.
On the next topics you will see how to configure the Mobile Camera server, as well as how to register the camera on the VMS server to retrieve the images from the Mobile Camera server.
