Abstract—This paper proposes a smart, easy-deployed remote
monitor system based on Android system. Different from normal
monitor system, what you need to deploy the monitor system are
only a camera, a PC with Linux system and an Android smart
phone, which is commonly held by people. The system is based on
the open-source library live555、FFmpeg and x264, thus it is
readily extendable. In this system, the video is recorded using
V4L2 interface and encoded by x264. The live555 media server
then forwards the video stream over RTSP to the client. Finally,
the client decodes the video and plays it. Performance test shows
that this system has the basic function of remote video recorder
and can work smoothly.
