Sending captured video to MySQL.

I am curious as to how I can store a captured video in a MySQL database instead of locally? Also how would I then display it in my android app?

you need to use a BLOB type if you want to store it directy on the database which is not recommended. The best thing to do is to save it on a storage and store the url on the database to reference it......Do not store the base ip of the server in that url string, just what it follows and then on your app you can use a base_url that holds the ip and you concatenate it with what you have on your database
