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 working, but it has specific problems on certain devices and is generally unstable. This assembly will fix specific logged issues.
| There is an accelerated timeline to this contest. Please make sure you are aware. |

To have the best chance of completing this assembly, running the code on a device is important. You will also need to use the simulator for some specific issues, so make sure to plan time for that. |
