Stream a camera/webcam feed
This guide concerns the broadcasting of video streams directly from mobile cameras on the service of Streaming vidéo Infomaniak.
Live streaming...
... with encoder
The classic operation of Streaming vidéo involves using an encoder to transform the stream coming from a source such as a camera or webcam.
Example with a GoPro: to broadcast what it films live (setting up a live webcam, for example), you can connect it via its HDMI cable to your capture card (such as an AVerMedia or Blackmagic Design card) which has an HDMI input.
Use software like OBS Studio and configure it to recognize the video source from the capture card and encode the video stream and transmit it to the streaming server (Infomaniak).
… without an encoder
With suitable cameras that natively output h.264, there is no longer a need for an encoder; you can connect your camera directly to the Streaming video system. The camera directly encodes the video stream in a compatible format (H.264) and transmits it via RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) directly to the streaming server. However, this system only works with a limited list of cameras (see below). Certain modules, such as video recording, are not compatible with this mode of operation.
To access the configuration:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the relevant product.
- Click the button to configure the encoder:
- Click on the IP CAM / EXTERNAL source
Read the prerequisites on the configuration page before continuing with the setup. Also, refer to this other guide.
