Commercial
From the article:
Sony Electronics Inc. today introduced the SNC-RZ25N, a pan-tilt-zoom camera that enables remote viewing and high-quality video capture over existing IP networks through MPEG-4 compression

Sooooooo, Sony, tell me, are you packaging these as actual MP4’s (unlike D-Link)..? Can I point these to a Darwin/QuickTime Streaming Server? Tell me tell me tell me…

  1. Soooo… do Sony allow you to point it at a streaming server?

    I’m totally confused by this whole MPEG4 thing. I can’t find anyone, anywhere who is using a standalone network camera as a source stream for a proper streaming server (Real, WM, QT, etc).

    Have you?? HELP! :)

  2. Hi Paul,

    No unfortunately, I don’t know if it will work. I would like to try but I have not found any of these cameras available as of yet.

    If they are like the cameras from D-Link, Linksys and others they definitely do not support streaming via a proper streaming server, but Sony is a completely different kind of company and may have the wherewithal to allow for it.

    The Linksys network cameras have firmware which is open source so if you are a good hacker you may be able to make it work. No one that I know has of yet. It is on my “to do” list.

    Good luck and please keep me informed if you find anything.

    Thanks
