Method and system for network-based real-time video display

A method for network-based real-time video display, the method comprising the steps of:

• setting up a connection between a plurality of imaging apparatuses and a website via a wireless network;
• authenticating each of the plurality of imaging apparatuses by the website, wherein:
• for each imaging apparatus being not successfully authenticated, the method further comprises informing the imaging apparatus of a rejection message by the website;
• for all the imaging apparatuses being successfully authenticated, the method further comprises producing a video by each of one or more of the imaging apparatuses and displaying the produced one or more videos by the website, further wherein:
• producing a video comprises:
• recording a video and splitting the video into video segments;
• processing and converting the video segments into a video stream;
• and
• uploading the video stream to the website via the wireless network;
• displaying the produced one or more videos by the website comprises:
• offering a display widget to each of the one or more video streams uploaded and creating a display window for each of the one or more videos;
• embedding each display window in a corresponding display page;
• and
• displaying the one or more videos through the display windows in real time.

A system for network-based real-time video display, the system comprising one or more imaging apparatuses and a website, each of the one or more imaging apparatuses recording a video,

• wherein each of the one or more imaging apparatuses includes:
• at least one camera for recording the video;
• a video processing module for splitting the video into video segments and converting the video segments into a video stream;
• and
• a wireless transmission module for setting up a connection between the imaging apparatus and the website via a wireless network and uploading the video stream to the website in real time,
• further wherein the website authenticates each of the one or more imaging apparatuses;
• for each imaging apparatus being not successfully authenticated, the website informs the imaging apparatus of a rejection message;
• for each imaging apparatus being successfully authenticated, the website offers a display widget to the video stream uploaded by the imaging apparatus, creates a display window for the video recorded by the imaging apparatus, embeds the display window in a corresponding display page, and displays the video through the display window in real time.
