Embedded FLV Encoders

| I am looking for a embedded/integrated Video device that would encode to
a FLV stream and be able to send it to a FMS server with out the Flash
Player all in real time.
Has this been done with current IP Cameras or anyone else accomplished this?

I think such a thing does not yet exist but is badly needed. There was a lot
of talk about this kind of app before the launch of FMS2 (external API, push
data into FMS...) but so far it's been very quite on that front.
A Java SDK which may or may not allow you to build such an app has also been
promised for a while now.
I have not yet seen anyone hook up an IP cam to FMS successfully.

I did get something to work, but it was such an awful hack I almost
hate admitting that I did this.
IP camera has an embedded web server, that lets you watch its feed. A
script on the server fetches the feed into a frame buffer. A fake
webcam driver I wrote presents whatever is currently in the frame
buffer to a flash player as what's on a virtual webcam at that
moment. The flash player sends the stream to FMS.
This works, but is entirely dependent on the method that the camera
uses to send its feed. (I got lucky and the camera we used created a
stream that was easily reverse engineerable into individual frames)
If you know enough about driver writing though, you could probably
recreate this easily.

| Most of these cams expose their feeds as a jpg stream. I remember reading a
while ago that FMS2 supports this sort of stream but I don't know any more
details - and I may be wrong.
If we had an API that would allow us to send a jpg stream to FMS and the
server could in turn relay this onto connected clients then that would make
the whole affair a lot easier.
I feel this is more a lack of information on Adobe's part than anything else
as a lot of the features (if they exist) would already be inside FMS2 and
just need to be unlocked...
