Streaming Video with IP cameras into Second Life

Getting Started

The following are the basic prerequisites for streaming video with Ip cameras into Second Life:

  • Your movie files must be compressed using QuickTime format (.mp4 or .mov), and QuickTime must be installed on your computer.
  • If the video you're attempting to stream plays in the QuickTime player on your own computer, it should stream into Second Life correctly.
  • Be sure that stream's URL exists.

Setting IP camera

Install Quicktime on your computer

It is a priority have installed Quicktime in order to show video on Second Life. You can download it from http://www.apple.com/es/quicktime/download/ When you have Quicktime on your computer, you can make a proof opening an URL of video streaming. 


                                              
                                              Figure 1. Open a URL to display video with Quicktime.

On figure 1 you can see that, in order to display video streaming, we use 'rtsp protocol'. You only have to put a correct URL on File/Open URL File to demand the video streaming to the IP camera. We use a Axis IP camera to test it.
