== 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 a compute node (e.g. Bed or SB1/2) on the COSMOS network (note that GW is not a compute 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'''.
