Stream a camera/webcam feed

This guide concerns the streaming of video feeds directly from mobile cameras on the Infomaniak Video Streaming service.

Live Streaming

With Encoder

The standard operation of video streaming involves using an encoder to transform the feed from a camera or webcam source.

Example with a GoPro: to stream what it films live (e.g., setting up a live Webcam), you can connect it via its HDMI cable to your capture card (e.g., AVerMedia or Blackmagic Design) that has an HDMI input.

Use software like OBS Studio and configure it to recognize the video source from the capture card, encode the video feed, and transmit it to the streaming server (Infomaniak).

Without Encoder

With suitable cameras that deliver H.264 natively, there is no need for an encoder; you can connect your camera directly to the video streaming system. The camera encodes the video feed directly into 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). Some modules, such as video recording, are not compatible with this mode of operation.

To access the configuration:

1. Log in to the Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com) from a web browser like Brave or Edge
2. Click on the icon at the top right of the interface (or navigate using the left sidebar menu)
3. Select Video Streaming (Streaming universe)
4. Click on the name of the relevant object in the displayed table
5. Click the button to configure the encoder
   
6. Click on the IP CAM / EXTERNAL source
