Please read the bold print for just the tech question - My current home automation system has some odd boundaries and to work around them is costly and hardware can only be purchased from "value integrated partners". The security camera function can only be sent to touch screens and smart devices via mjpeg onvif - while my IP cams offer that as a sub stream, my main tribred net dvr does not have mjpeg streams or sub streams only http and rtsp streams. I purchased a dedicated video server that came DOA which i found out after 3 days of calls with tech support and it would bring up 8 cams in one frame and then i can pick which one i want to use. Well i don't like that so much and i don't want to drop a few hundred bucks on another setup and would like to stream to other devices as well so anytime you want something right you gotta do it yourself. I have a server that hosts AV material that is on 24/7 and thought about adding it to this set up but figured why take away its processing power when i can have a raspberry do my dirty work - what software can i use to take the RSTP feeds convert it to mjpeg, then break down the master feed into separate MJPEG streams for each camera? The tribred net dvr has a http feed and web server that can be viewed by an app or typing in the ip address into the browser and a tiled view will show all 8 analog cameras and 3 ip cams but the http functioning of it is sort of a pain in the a$$ on win10 but on the mac it works fine, it supports audio also and the master system does have a sips server so adding something where remotely i can hit a button and talk to that zone would be great. Maybe the added function of adjusting the resolution of the streams would be nice too to get a balance of performance. The machine is smart enough to pick up on motion and other things if i want it to and will push into to me should i request it so i do not need to add anything like added at this point i don't think. I guess VLC with something else would be the way to do it, however I want this to be truly embedded hardware and minimize the software on the machine locally and have no other running apps. Can someone please point me in the correct direction? This will be running 24/7 and should it ever do down or need to reboot, the program will have to run from launch.
