Hi, guys

I have setted up the wowza server which monitors 27 cameras,

so far, I am able to see all the IP cameras by using RTMP protocol on my website. (But RTMP requires flash support, which is not supported by android).

Is there a video format for real time streaming so that I can play the video on the website as well as my android devices? Thx a lot.

Hi,

Delivering a stream to an Android device is best served using the RTSP protocol, which is universally supported across the many variations of Android. To do this, pass a URL like this to your Android users: rtsp://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/live/myStream. This should not require any setup in your Wowza application. For more information about playback to RTSP, see the playback section in the [Live Video Streaming Tutorial](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtmp-based-encoder#playback).
