IP cameras compatible with Infomaniak's video streaming

This guide describes the technical characteristics required to use an IP camera (RTSP or RTMP) with our video streaming platform. There are two types of camera:

• RTSP cameras: Infomaniak's servers connect to the camera to pull the stream via the RTSP protocol.
• RTMP cameras: the camera operates like an encoder and pushes the stream towards Infomaniak's broadcasting servers.

RTSP camera (PULL mode)

Some cameras can directly broadcast a video and audio stream on the internet without a dedicated encoder. In this case, it is still necessary to check that your device respects the following requirements:

• Supports the RTSP protocol
• Supports the H264 video codec (MPEG4 is insufficient)
• The device must be reachable via the internet on port 554 (other ports will be refused)
• The camera access address must function in a video player (VLC, MPlayer, etc.), including from a network external to the camera's

RTMP camera (PUSH mode)

Any camera able to send an H264 video stream and an AAC audio stream to a server via the RTMP protocol should be compatible with our video streaming platform.
