+== Camera Streaming
+
+=== Getting Started
+
+Make sure you already have a COSMOS account (see wiki:GettingStarted) and is able to log into '''gw.cosmos-lab.org''':
+
+{{{#!shell-session
+ssh COSMOS_USER@gw.cosmos-lab.org
+}}}
+
+Here, '''COSMOS_USER''' is your COSMOS username.
+
+The following cameras can be accessed within the COSMOS network.
+
+||= Name                                      =||= Location              =||= Orientation         =||= IP          =||= Type =||

+
+
+=== RTSP Access Within COSMOS
+
+If you have logged into the COSMOS network (e.g. on GW or any other node), you can access the RTSP stream using tools like FFmpeg under the URL:
+
+{{{#!shell-session
+rtsp://public:cosmos@CAMERA_NAME_OR_IP/axis-media/media.amp
+}}}
+
+Replace the '''CAMERA_NAME_OR_IP''' with the name or the IP address of the desired camera, found in the table above.
+
+For example, the command below records a 10s video from the 12F-logia camera in 30 FPS:
+
+{{{#!shell-session
+ffmpeg -nostdin -rtsp_transport udp -i rtsp://public:cosmos@cam1-md12-logia-ams.bed.cosmos-lab.org/axis-media/media.amp -r 30 -vcodec copy -an -t 10 output.mp4
+}}}
+
+
+=== Camera Access Outside of COSMOS
+
+You can also access the camera web interface from the outside:
+
+1. Choose an used port on your machine, e.g. '''8080'''.
+
+2. Forward the camera interface at port '''80''' to your local '''8080''' port via SSH (replace the '''CAMERA_NAME_OR_IP''' and '''COSMOS_USERNAME'''):
+
+{{{#!shell-session
+ssh -L 8080:CAMERA_NAME_OR_IP:80 COSMOS_USERNAME@gw.cosmos-lab.org
+}}}
+
+3. From your browser, go to '''localhost:8080'''.
+
+4. When prompted, enter username '''public''' and password '''cosmos'''.
