Real Time Video Streaming From Multi-Source Using Client-Server for Video Distribution

The Real Time Video Distribution (RTVD) is now a day a subject of interest in various applications that support different fields, like video conferences, security systems, video broadcasting, etc. This paper presents a system for a multi-IP cameras based on the use of client/server to distribute video signals to many clients. There are three main functions in the proposed system: the first is that the server will receive the sent streams by all connected cameras. The second means that the server starts viewing video signals and distributes them to all connected clients in the network. Finally, the clients will receive video signals from the server. Hence, the proposed RTVD System (RTVDS) makes the Admin to focus on the received frames sent by IP cameras to/from the server within signals broadcasting. In addition, RTVDS has the capability of tracking and storing the frames stream and encode them during the broadcasting process. Different structures and algorithms have been depended in the proposed RTVDS using tools implemented by VC# programming language.
