Broadcasting webcam with RTSP protocol

Hi all.

I’m working on my final year project lately. I’ve got the webcam stream and processing it for motion detection, there’s no problem with that part. But another part of the project is to broadcast the webcam stream by RTSP protocol. I’ve seen codes that broadcasts the webcam stream over RTP protocol as I searched over internet by google, but I had to broadcast it in RTSP because the reciever of this webcam stream will be using his/her mobile phone

and mobile phones do not support RTP protocol. As far as I checked with a program I found on internet, my cell phone ( Symbian OS 60 v2 ) supports HTTP,RTSP etc. I cannot do it with HTTP since I’m going to get live feed, so I had to do it with RTSP protocol.

I’ve downloaded wowza media server pro and followed tutorials, also tried example for live broadcasting, but I couldn’t succeed broadcasting my webcam with RTSP, where can I look for this ?

ps: Using Windows Vista environment.

Your help will be appreciated.

Have a nice day

You need Wowza Server 2 Advanced, which is Preview 7 (beta) but it’s what you need to stream to mobile:

Then take a look at streaming to IPhone:
