Abstract:

The present work consists in the design of a local area network used for video streaming for which the respective investigation and analysis of an app that will transmit video through WIF, in this case the app is called IP Webcam. Based on the information obtained about the functions of the application, a local area network was created and configured using a wireless router to adjust it to the necessities of the app and optimize its performance. Once the router had the correct configuration, the traffic of the network and the range was analyzed to define the protocols that are being executed and know the limitations of the video streaming. Once all the test was concluded, the analysis showed that a wireless local area network used exclusively to stream allows the delay of the video received to be minimum and free the network’s wideband to allow a higher rate of transmission.
