Streaming video from an IP camera without a computer?

Question

fmpeg

Is it possible and how, on which sane cameras for the price, to stream video from an IP camera without a computer?
Provided that the camera is behind the router, which most likely has a gray IP, it is supposed to use a 3G router - a router with support for USB 3G modems. And the cellular operator most likely issues a gray IP.
A cursory examination on the topic gave me a big headache, just as it is most likely that you need to stream through the cloud, which is something like:
- sharpened cameras are ollinked with ivideon support, but they cost unreasonably big money, and the usual room type simple webcams.
- if any other camera, then you need an ivideon server installed on your computer, which, of course, must be constantly on, which is not suitable.
- IP cameras with RTSP and/or ONVIF support, but the stream needs to be transferred to the cloud through some ffmpeg, which again requires a computer.
- or forward the port from the router to the camera, but here it is necessary that the router has a white IP ??
so the question of how, probably boils down to two options:
- are there cameras that themselves can send a video stream to the cloud, besides crazy ivideon
- organize stream transmission using ffmpeg on a router that has been changed to OpenWRT or some other firmware like this (on boomstream.com )
ffmpeg -i "rtsp://IP_CAMERA_ADDRESS:554/live" -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f flv rtmp://live.boomstream.com/live/YOUR_BROADCAST_CODE
but which router will pull it and will ffmpeg be put there in principle?
Or maybe there are some other ideas/options?
I already have some kind of mess in my head ...
PS: I would like to stream video to some kind of, preferably a free cloud (1-2 cameras), with the ability to embed in a web page.

Answer 1

McAron, The fact is that cellular operators issue gray IPs to the mobile Internet (I wrote about this), i.e. behind the operator's NAT, i.e. from the outside to the router can not reach.
It seems that you will either have to take hosting with a virtual server, or most likely raise the server on a computer or on a router with OpenWRT with an Internet from a ground-based provider with at least a dynamic connection. white IP and run an OpenVPN tunnel from a 3G router to a "static" router and back through the tunnel forward ports to IP cameras, etc.
I thought so and make a web server on a 3G router either on the OpenWRT router itself or on Arduino, so that look at the sensors or the cameras "twist"
looked on this topic and found a finished article

most likely I will do it, it remains to pick up routers

Answer 2

I would forward the port to the camera, and on the router I would write a script that, when changing the IP, sends it to the server where the page from which you are going to broadcast lies.
