Streaming video real time

I have a special device (a sort of external video camera) which should send video in real time and streaming to a smartphone (android first). In other words imagine how GoPro app works, in which you are able to watch in real-time on your smartphone what camera is recording .

My question is, what kind of protocol should be used to get the real time video streaming? I though about WebSocket but I do not know if it is the best solution as alternative to HTTP.

I looking forward to hearing from you Thank you so much.

Ypu sholud use RTSP protocol. Depending on whether the codec uses your camera, you sholud use MediaPlayer class (see docs) or use VLC library.
