Challenge Overview
Video surveillance cameras show what is happening in a scene from a remote location. Cameras are connected to digital video recorders (DVR) to allow for the recording of the scene.
Cameras and DVRs have many features available such as pan / tilt / zoom (PTZ), capturing images, and motion detection.
The project will be a cutting edge mobile application camera viewing system. The main goal of the project will be to view live video in H.264 format from multiple cameras and DVRs. User will be able to view video from mobile devices like:
• Smartphones
• Tablets
The purpose of this project is to develop a Graphical User Interface for video surveillance cameras and DVRs. Users will be equipment installers and customers.
Application will initially support one Styx brand DVR and needs to be architected in a way to allow for addition of different brand DVRs.
The mobile application should allow users to perform the following functions:
• View up to 8 channels of simultaneous live streaming video from the DVRs.
• Allow user to configure a favorite view of all their cameras from different DVRs.
• Perform PTZ action on a single camera.
• Capture, review, and send images from an incident.
The resulting solution will be a mobile application that will be published to the Apple App Store, Amazon App Store, and Google's Play Store.
The app is currently stable, but it runs sluggishly on devices, with long, choppy transitions between screens, and extended lags between video operations.

To have the best chance of completing this assembly, running the code on a device is needed. You will need to have an Apple developer account and a device to test with. You can use the simulator, but a device will best reflect the performance problem.s |
