Abstract :
Video verification on mobile devices, such as cell phones and tablet PCs, allows users to remotely check what is happening in a particular place without the need to constantly monitor the site and record video from the camera. This requires appropriate stream encoding to be applied. Unfortunately, existing encoding standards, widely used in video monitoring, have several drawbacks. In the paper, we show some remarks on choosing video stream encoding for video verification on Android-based mobile devices. Results of performed tests on bandwidth usage have shown that encoding based on passing static frames in JPEG format translates very well into an environment where the camera´s resolution is often higher than the mobile device screen.
