Has anyone tried to streaming the camera feed of one iOS device to another device? So for example a iPhone camera feed to a iPad 1. I guess you could keep taking pictures and sending over Bluetooth but that would probably work very badly.
The ideal solution would be to stream video and location over to one device via wifi and be able to send data back.
Check out this project I hope this helps.

I want to record a video of my application which is running on my iPhone and use it for Replay. How can I do that?
I was searching for this and could't find any solution.
Your only options are:
1. Run the app in the simulator and use any screen capture tool for mac to record a video
2. Fix the iPhone on a pod/stand and record video of you app with another camera
If the app does not have any feature which is available only on the device i would avoid option no 2, because iPhone's glossy screen shows all kinds of reflections and the user's hand in the video is really annoying..
Well, if your phone is a 4S you can get a dongle from Apple that outputs the video as a HD stream. The dongle lets you plug in a HDMI cable, so you would need some way to capture that output.
How can I send video from an iPhone to an iPad?
I'm building a robot that is an iPhone controlling an arduino, for the next phase I would like to be able to send some live streaming video from the iPhone to see in an iPad and have the iPad sending commands to the iPhone.
so how to send live streaming video from one device to the other (WiFi preferred or BlueTooth), and how to control one device via wireless from the other?
EDIT:
The best example for what I intend to do is the Parrot AR Drone and another app for the toy,
app clone to pilot the Quadracopter
The difference is that I would be getting the image from an iPhone and sending the control orders to the iPhone [from an iPad] as well, not a separate hardware.
Thanks a lot!
Most of the apps I've seen that do this use AVFoundation to capture data form the video camera - then push the frames to a server somewhere. You probably won't want to push every frame. For the receiving side of things I would have a server hosting a web page with an html5 video tag looking at an m3u8 playlist. Have your files from the iphone go into the playlist folder.
<video src="http://yourserver.com/path/to/stream/yourPlaylist.m3u8">
Your browser does not support the VIDEO tag

Then set your view on the ipad or computer to look at that webpage. There is for sure a more direct way of sending the files straight to the ipad for viewing - but I like being able to view the video from any broswer :)
If you want to stay away from a web view on the ipad you can also get the files as you would retrieve any file over a network. The web view is just the easiest way in my opinion.
How to integrate Live555 in XCode (iOS SDK)
hope this helps!
I'd like to stream video from the camera on an iOS device to a receiver via wifi, in effect turning the device into a wireless webcam. Is there a way to build a small app that captures video input on an iOS app and sends it via an RTSP stream or similar?
As this is an ad hoc experiment, I'm not concerned about App Store guidelines and can jailbreak if necessary.
If I interpret your question correctly you more or less need to solve four problems:
Get the camera feed.
Convert/encode this to the right format.
Stream the data.
Prevent the phone from locking itself and going into deep sleep.
The first one is fairly simple and Apple has as always provided good documentation and examples -> API link. Make sure you check out their example in the end as you will get a CMSampleBufferRef data object back.
For the second and third part, you should check out the CFNetwork framework and specially CFFTPStream for streaming using FTP.
If your are only building this for yourself then you can always turn off the Auto-Lock feature in the settings. If you on the other hand would like to distribute this to other users you could use a trick to play a mute sound every 10 seconds. This is more or less how all the alarm clocks work in the App Store. Here's a tutorial. =)
I hope I helped a little bit at least.
Good luck and best regards!
I'm 70% of the way to doing the same thing. Here's how I did it:
Capture content from video input
Chop video into files for use in HTML Live Streaming.
Spin up a web server on the iPhone and make the video files available.
Connect to the IP address of the phone and viola! you've got live streaming video.
Last time I touched the code I was trying to debug my Live Streaming not working. I'll try and get my source code posted on github this weekend, if you'd like to take a look.
I want to write a function in my iPad App, which allows me to stream the music choosen on iPad to the connected Game-Interfaces (iPod, iPhone...) via bluetooth. Does anyone knows a simple solution or maybe wants to share some sample code?
Thanks for help!
I am doing something very similar. I have my iphone connecting to multiple devices to stream audio to them, but I want the device that is streaming the audio to also play audio as well.
You can look into the GKSession in the GameKit API and that should give you a good start.
Also maybe openAl, but I think that might be a little overboard. I heard Core Audio has a built in feature for bluetooth devices that are connected to play audio through them but I dont think this goes for iPhone, iPad, iTouch etc....
I have also created my own peer connection interface that allows me to see multiple bluetooth devices that are running my app. I then can click each one and each gets connected. I then I added a test to push a text message to all connected devices for testing. Next I need to find out how to stream audio to the connected apple devices.
If anyone has any info on this I am sure we would both appreciate it.
I want to write application on iPhone which will:
make some digital processing on video from iPhone camera (in real time)
send some graphics through TV-Out
Could You tell me if this above is possible on iPhone 3G or 3GS?
Can I have access to each pixel in video capturing via iPhone camera?
There are private access points to do both live video recording and TV out. They are not well documented so you won't find much about them though and you wouldn't be able to submit anything that uses them to the app store. Real time video capture will probably eventually become a public part of the SDK but TV is probably less likely at this point.
