Android: Can I Stream RTP/RTCP Video?

[xortan]

Hello everyone,

Not sure if this is the right place but...

I probably have a stupid question here but is it possible to stream an RTP/RTCP video stream from an IP camera to an Android device? I am not a programmer but am trying to select a camera to use for my current project.

I have done some research and seen that Android is able to accept RTSP and HTTP for video streams but not seeing much info if it will also accept RTCP.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I can confirm that it is possible to stream an RTP/RTCP video stream from an IP camera to an Android device. RTCP is a control protocol used in conjunction with RTP to provide feedback on the quality of the data transmission. While it is not as commonly used as RTSP and HTTP, Android devices do have the capability to accept RTCP streams.

When selecting a camera for your project, it is important to make sure that it supports both RTP and RTCP protocols. Additionally, you may need to use a third-party app or software to receive and decode the RTP/RTCP stream on your Android device.

I hope this information helps and good luck with your project! Let me know if you have any further questions.
