A real-time mobile video surveillance system based on multi-protocol communications is proposed. The video acquisition module is established with Hi3520 board and mobile camera, while parameter-optimized H.264/AVC is used for video compression. And streaming media protocols compatible with RTP/RTSP and RTMP are used for video transmission; Mobile client based on Android platform can realize real-time analysis for network video streaming data etc. Experimental results show that there is only 1~1.5 second delay for the PC Client and the Video Capture terminal display. Thus the proposed system is a practical solution for the real-time monitoring of multiple application scenarios. The system designed here can obtain continuous scenes and realize HD, real time video monitoring remotely.
