[HamWAN PSDR] stream.westin.hamwan.net got an upgrade

[Bart Kus]

Hello,

Our video streaming service got completely redesigned and is now 
available at the same address as before 
(http://stream.westin.hamwan.net/). Some notable improvements:

1) Multi-browser support!  The old design would only run on Chrome. This 
redesign should be compatible with all modern browsers, including those 
on mobile devices.  Please let me know what doesn't work, as I'm sure 
there are some combinations of tech that fail.

2) Audio support!  Where the cameras have capabilities, audio is being 
streamed along with the video.  Cameras that don't have microphones 
stream silent audio.  The mic on ptz.haystack appears to be broken as 
it's buzzing.

3) Better reliability!  The new implementation responds to stream / 
connectivity errors in real-time.  The old implementation would wait an 
hour or more before doing self-heal and bringing video back online.  The 
javascript video player is also resilient to brief problems.  It stalls 
for a bit and then skips forward in time after the problems are gone, 
all automatically.

And just like the old site, all of this is happening without any 
transcoding that can degrade quality.  What you see are the raw camera 
feeds.  The lack of transcoding also means low CPU load, so we can add 
many more cameras here.

Please give this new system a whirl and let me know if there are any 
problems or missing features that the old system had which are important 
still.

Thanks,

--Bart
