I am trying to make a system wherein I need to send live video covered on an external wireless camera (not phone camera) to an android app I am going to make. The camera's I searched for only send videos to their own apps. So, is it possible in some way to design an app which will be able to take that live video? The camera is connected to the phone through Wifi. I need to process the video for some real time application, so I will need the live video only and not after it gets saved through their app. I have no prior experience in android, so any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I have a web app that l'et select any camera connected on a PC. I cannot let this choice on mobile.
Is there a way tò collect all the camera presents or let the native app to Jump in and give the Pic back?
I made any kind of try by getmedia but without a good result
With HTML5 came the introduction of APIs with access to device hardware, including the MediaDevices API. You can use this API’s to access audio and video devices to stream and display live video feeds in the browser.
Please refer this documentation for more information:
MediaStream Recording API
If you want to get all the available camera/media information then please refer this documentation for more information:

I wanna build an app that will use android camera video and stream it to another android phone or on the web. I don't wanna do it through my Wifi, but i want the cam streaming to be broadcast live anywhere in the world.
Can anyone help me getting an overview of the android classes or APIs that will be helpful doing this task?
You can't stream live video from a phone directly to another phone, there are just too many possible differences between any two given devices.
To do this you will need to have a publicly accessible server, (that you have control of) running a streaming engine, such as Woza: https://www.wowza.com/products/streaming-engine The source phone sends video to the server, and the destination phone receives video from the server.
I need to play a video stored on my xampp server, as if it was a live stream through an android application.
For example: After installing my application on a smartphone, when a user A(say) makes an access to the xampp server to play the video, the video starts to play on his smartphone device. Now, suppose a user B (say) plays the same video through the server it starts from the same instance as to where User A is now watching the video. Thus, the video being played though stored, becomes live.
I need to demonstrate a concept through this application, and as I have no prior experience in Android Development, so it would be great if anyone can give me any ideas, on how can I approach this, any suggestions/sample code/alternate methods to achieve this please let me know.
Thanks for the time you put in reading my question.
I have been working on an android app that streams videos live on a server using android built-in camera and anyone can watch that live stream from my website which is deployed on the server.
So can any one help me on how should i start working on my project because at present i have no direction to start with.
More specific example is:-
Like a person goes to a picnic and he wants his friends and family to see whats going on with the tour and his family can see live what he's doing live.....
There is an open-source project that does a very similar thing:
http://code.google.com/p/ipcamera-for-android/
It basically uses the LocalSocket of the camera to read the video and stream it from a webserver. You should be able to find lots of information in the source code.
If you want to stream over the internet, for everyone to see i can recommend you the service justin.tv which lets you broadcast you stream to the whole internet. If tried it, and it works very good!
However, if there's no wifi you will probably have a very laggy connection, unless you convert the video in a smaller size...
I have a requirement where I need to detect human prescence from a live video feed which is coming from a phones camera
I was wonering if this was possible from the phone itself on an android phone (latest models such as the HTC Desire HD and higher perhaps)? And if possible can anyone guide me to a place (with links or such) to get an idea on how to proceed
However if this was not possible from within the phone itself is it possible to take a live video stream from the phone and transmit it to a server, which for example process the feed using open cv and sends an output back to the phone, can anyone tell me if the transmission of the live video feed to a server is possible and any guidance is appreciated as well.
Any suggestions?

It may not be the most convenient thing to set up. But seems like it would work.
This might be helpful too.
