Configuration

Create the .env file with Meari credentials:

MEARI_USERNAME=your_email@example.com
MEARI_PASSWORD=your_password
MEARI_COUNTRY=IT
MEARI_CODE=39
RECORDING_DURATION_MINUTES=1
VIDEO_QUALITY=HD

Initial Setup

1. Prepare redroid docker and host setup (required for Redroid):
   You have to see the docuemntation of Redroid to correct setup the Docker depending on the OS host (https://github.com/remote-android/redroid-doc/blob/master/deploy/debian.md) I do it for debian.

2. Start the system:

   ./setup_redroid.sh

   This script:

   • Starts the Redroid container (Android 11)
   • Compiles and installs the EdgeCloudRecorder app
   • Configures Meari credentials
   • Starts the recording service

Usage

Monitoring

./watch_logs.sh

Change recording duration

./set_duration.sh 15  # 15 minutes per file

Video Synchronization

Videos are automatically saved to ./recordings/ from the container.

Manual Commands

Configuration:

# Change quality (HD/SD/LOW)
adb -s localhost:5555 shell am broadcast -a com.edgecloudrecorder.SET_QUALITY -n com.edgecloudrecorder/.mearitaskerplugin.recorder.ConfigReceiver --es quality HD

# Show current configuration
adb -s localhost:5555 shell am broadcast -a com.edgecloudrecorder.SHOW_CONFIG -n com.edgecloudrecorder/.mearitaskerplugin.recorder.ConfigReceiver

Service Control:

# Stop
adb -s localhost:5555 shell am stopservice com.edgecloudrecorder/com.edgecloudrecorder.mearitaskerplugin.recorder.VideoRecorderService

# Start
adb -s localhost:5555 shell am start-foreground-service com.edgecloudrecorder/com.edgecloudrecorder.mearitaskerplugin.recorder.VideoRecorderService

Requirements

• Docker and Docker Compose
• ADB (Android Debug Bridge)
• Setup host and Docker for Redroid

Architecture

The system uses:

• Redroid: Containerized Android 11
• Meari SDK: IP camera communication
• VideoRecorderService: Android foreground service for continuous recording
• File Rotation: Creates new files every N minutes without streaming interruption
