Video Stream processing and real-time webpage playback in Video Monitoring

About video stream processing and real-time webpage playback in video surveillance-Linux general technology-Linux technology and application information. For more information, see the following. Hello everyone, I am currently working on a linux-based video surveillance system. This system requires Web-based monitoring.
When implementing Web monitoring, there are two solutions:
1. directly on the server side (a video server has been set up), the collected JPEG stream (using a USB camera based on the ZC301 chip of SMIC, Which is output as a JPEG stream ),
Directly transfer the image to the Web and use the Applet plug-in to display the received image.
2. Build a Streaming Media Server, embed a player on the webpage, and accept the video stream in real time for decoding and display.
Here we want to adopt the second solution.

Question:
★1. A player embedded on a webpage generally adds a video file to play the video. How can I play and receive the video stream ???
I have some information on the Internet that I need an asf file pointer. But I don't know how to operate and implement it ???

2. Post-collection issues. After a video is collected and obtained (the Zc301 output is in JPEG format), do you need to encode and re-transmit the video? Do you have any data after 2 development?
Impact.
3. For the TCP and RTP protocols, if the second scheme is used, it is better to use the RTP protocol (more complex than TCP, I personally think.

If you have any answers to the above questions, thank you very much and hope to learn from them !!!
