[Live-devel] question: possibility to extend the code to support 3g video streaming

We already support streaming all of the audio and video codecs (and 
protocols) used by so-called '3G' clients.  (However, we don't yet 
support streaming from pre-recorded MPEG-4-format files.)

Unless your "network camera" already encodes (compresses) the video 
(and audio, if any), you will also need video/audio encoding hardware 
(or software).

You might find our "wis-streamer" server useful (it requires a 
particular type of encoder hardware, however):
