WiFi cams for the VideoStream module?

Post by SoundRehabAustria »

Hi!

I tried to do some research but it looks like a dead end street ... Could anyone you pls point me to WiFi cams that could feed a stream into the VideoStream module. It appears whatever is out there sends H.264 compression but the VideoStream module supposedly only takes MJPG. How could I make best use of the VideoStream module?

The VideoStream module accepts almost any compression format. MJPG just happens to be the most common one :) .

Were you not able to get an H.264 stream to work?

Thanks for the reply.

I was mislead by the (rather brief) description in the help section of the VideoStream module which only lists MJPG examples while most of what is sold these days is H.264. I reckon it's back to ordering something off Amazon and if it does not work, send back ...

So I need to rephrase my question ...
Any recommendations from users in this forum for WiFi cams that give you 1920x1080 streams (and not too much latency)?
