The invention discloses a distributed real-time video monitoring processing system based on a ZooKeeper. The system comprises video acquisition equipment, a ZooKeeper server farm, a memory database server, a real-time video processing server farm RVPS, a streaming media domain name service and a client. In the invention, the ZooKeeper server farm is used to realize high availability of a cluster, resource distribution and calculation and load balancing. The client sends an operation instruction to the real-time video processing server farm through the memory database server and can modify the operation instruction at any time. The RVPS accesses a real-time video stream from video acquisition equipment. Through polling a processing instruction stored in the memory database server, a real-time video is processed. The RVPS sends an original coded video to the client through an RTSP streaming media protocol and feeds back a processing result to the client through the memory database server so as to realize separation of the video and the processing result. The client accesses an RTSP video stream with an unchanged domain name and a changed IP address through the streaming media domain name service.
