3.3. Monitoring
A Monitoring session is where the aJ-Orion device continuously sends images depending on the monitoring mode
selected; streaming video or image captures. Streaming video requires a compatible video player application to be
selected. Image captures consists of a continuous sequence of snap shots sent about every 4 to 12 seconds.
Note that the received images are not stored in the Android device's SD card.

A monitoring session is activated via opening the
application main menu and selecting the “

”
item. The monitoring mode selection dialog is
presented as shown at the right.

When streaming video is selected, the aJ-Orion
device will be requested to setup an HTTP server to

Upon successful configuration of the streaming
video server, the aJ-Orion client application will
prompt the user to select a video player application

alert is detected to allow recording the event.

When image capture is selected, the aJ-Orion device
will be requested to begin taking “snap shots” and

the next snap shot is taken and sent. The typical time
between snap shots is about every 4 to 12 seconds
depending on network delays.
