How to reach the image of the camera by a mobile phone
This description demonstrates how you can display the image of RTSP camera on cellphones having a different operation systems to the Onvif IP camera server. The cellphones establish the connection by WiFi and then communicate using RTSP to send and receive the RTP packages.

The main benefit of this function is that you can broadcast the camera image if your camera and the smartphone are in a common network and connected by WiFi. When you configure the connection in the application you should give IP address of the server or the RTSP camera. If the connection is successful the broadcast will start working. If you want to change camera you should change the camera's IP address in the smart phone application's settings. The Ozeki Camera SDK is a good solution because you could develop Onvif IP camera server software with this function.
