sethlocks 0 Posted January 28, 2015 Hello, I am researching two options for a live stream. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this? This is just a live "animal cam" for about 50-60 unique visitors each day. Option 1 - Embed MJPEG Video at D1 from my Hikvision DS-2cd2012 into a web page. Option 2 - Use a hosted service such as YouTube Live or UStream. Before I go down the research hole, I would love any pointers anyone has. Thanks, Seth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buellwinkle 0 Posted January 30, 2015 To embed live video on a web page you need to convert RTSP from the camera to RTMP. I've done it various ways, but yes, you can continuously stream to a service and YouTube offers that. If you want to do it yourself, the best software I've used for small scale projects is Unreal Media Server, free for up to 5 cameras, 15 concurrent users. If this is big, you can use a more commercial grade solution like Wowsa. I've also done with BlueIris software, where I modified their web page that shows multiple cameras and made my own web page out of it. It actually pretty efficient doing this if you don't try and do motion detection and recording with it. Keep in mind this will use a lot of bandwidth so make sure you have what it takes in terms of upload. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Seth It would require less resources to use automatic refreshed Snapshots at the interval of your choice. If you want to host this yourself on your own website. It would be more secure as well. Not exposing anything about your camera. No ISP IP Address, No DDNS, No Port or User credentials for the IP Camera. This free interface, also allows you to insert both text and images, into your IP Cameras images. It has many other features and options and it's free! Here is a live example of those methods being used with your camera model. It's in China. So there is some delay: http://107.170.59.150/Hikvision/Hikvision1.htm It also has a configuration option to allow it to be only accessed using a valid User and Password of your choice. For one or many IP Cameras. The User and Password you choose. Has nothing to do with any IP Cameras User. In this example. The User is: admin and the Password is: admin http://107.170.59.150/Hikvision/SecureImageDisplayLogin.php It supports both HTTP and HTTPS access methods. Even if the IP Cameras don't support HTTPS. You will see warnings when using the links below. Because the demo web server being used. Is using a self-signed certificate. But you can see that the same links used above. Also work using HTTPS access methods as well: https://107.170.59.150/Hikvision/Hikvision1.htm https://107.170.59.150/Hikvision/SecureImageDisplayLogin.php Don Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
