Spook
Spook is a live video distribution server intended for a streaming Webcam or remote monitoring. The server uses a modular configuration system for importing video from live sources, applying processing on the fly, encoding to one or more compressed formats, and distributing the feeds over a network. Spook provides true, high-quality streaming by producing MPEG4 RTP streams, available on demand with RTSP. Modules are also included to provide JPEG stills via HTTP.
