SecuritySpy rebroadcast streams?

This is probably a question for @Ben but maybe someone else knows…

I assume for each camera there’s a “rebroadcast” URL on the SecuritySpy server as that’s how the iPhone app sees and plays videos.

If that assumption is true - is it ONVIF if the original stream was? And does it contain the motion data? And if yes to both - how do I find and consume the rebroadcast?

Why am I asking? I have Scrypted running on the SS server now alongside SS… both pull the stream from each camera… it would be more efficient if Scrypted could just consume locally off SecuritySpy in terms of network…

just tinkering 😏

    Yes, any client can request a video stream for any camera from SecuritySpy's web server, as described under the "Live video" section of the SecuritySpy Web Server Specifications document. There are two options: MJPEG over HTTP and H.264 over RTSP, which are both standard stream formats in the CCTV video world.

    Sorry but motion data is not transmitted with these streams. Therefore, it's probably better that Scrypted obtain the feeds directly from the cameras, to avoid putting additional load on your SecuritySpy server.
