Getting mjpeg video stream from ip camera in iOS app?

Question

iOS

Hello. I'm trying to asynchronously (using NSURLConnection) load a mjpeg video stream from an IP camera into an iOS7 application, displaying it in a UIImageView. The application screen in iOSSimulator remains blank. Where is the fluff in my code? I am new to iOS programming. I read a lot of materials on receiving mjpeg video stream. Thank you.

//  ViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface ViewController : UIViewController
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *cameraView;
@end
NSMutableData *dataResponse;    // buffer for accumulating data
====================================================
//  ViewController.m
#import "ViewController.h"
@interface ViewController ()
@end

@implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    NSString *cameraURL = @"http://192.168.1.160:554/video.mjpg";
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:cameraURL];
    NSURLRequest *requestURLcamera = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];	// URL request  
    NSURLConnection *connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:requestURLcamera delegate:self startImmediately:YES];	// connecting
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning { [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];}

- (void)connection: (NSURLConnection *) connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data
{    [dataResponse appendData:data]; }	// accumulating data

- (void)connection: (NSURLConnection *) connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response
{    UIImage *imageZ = [UIImage imageWithData:dataResponse];     // creating image
    _cameraView.image = imageZ;                     // image to UIImageView
    dataResponse = nil;                                      // reset of dataResponse
}
@end

From what I saw - you do not create a dataResponse.
You need to write either in viewDidLoad or in the delegate method where the data is received.
PS In general, you are looking at the old lessons. NSURLConnection - deprecated already
look for tutorials on NSURLSession. Or AFNetworking (it's a third party library)
