Advantages

ONVIF & Direct connect

Connect to any ONVIF, RTSP or any other standard video source directly from your app. Use all the standard ONVIF features, like PTZ, bi-directional audio and others.

Cloud connect

Connect to your video sources directly or through the VXG Cloud. Utilize all benefits of the VXG Cloud such as cloud recording and processing, AI pre-processing, watching video from anywhere and on any screen.

AI & Processing

Get access to raw (decoded) frames for AI & processing for streams received from network and for video coming from a phone camera. Use a number of samples, including Face detection, OpenCV processing and others.

Playback

Playback video in all major formats including RTSP, WebRTC, RTMP, HLS, HTTP, HTTPS, MMS, UDP and many more! Support of various subtitles and metadata formats.

Streaming & Mobile IP cam

Convert your phone into an IP camera or broadcast video to millions, thanks to encoding and streaming in all popular formats such as WebRTC, RTSP, RTMP push/publish and HLS.

Recording

Record video that you play or video from your camera. Store recordings locally on the phone, on the Cloud or on any S3 compatible network storage in standard MP4 or TS formats, with or without re-encoding.

FAQ

Learn more about our mobile SDK for IP cameras and NVRs

Yes, and it is used in 500+ video applications today. Some of them use VXG Cloud VMS, but others don’t. Once you have an application built with our Mobile SDK, it’ll be very easy to enable connection with the VXG Cloud Video Surveillance when it’s required.

It is for both. The Mobile SDK will play video from pretty much any network stream or a file container, and it will capture and stream video from your mobile camera.

The latency can be as low as 200 ms. It depends on your streaming format and the lowest latency can be achieved with WebRTC, RTMP and RTSP.

We have regular updates approximately once per quarter and out-of-band updates when a new version of iOS or Android is released that requires immediate changes, or any other critical problem was found. The regular updates include new features, support of new protocols and formats, making sure that our customers always have access to the latest technology.
