RTSP is a media-controlling protocol that allows you to monitor your security within your local network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public Internet stream uses <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Real-Time_Messaging_Protocol\">RTMP<\/a>. RTMP is a media transmission protocol widely adopted by Youtube, Twitch, Facebook Live, and more live platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To stream your security camera, you need to transfer the original protocol from RTSP to RTMP. All the tools you will use are doing the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"preparation\">Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start, you need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Find out the RTSP address of your IP camera<\/strong>. Check the device user manual, or ask for help online, and try to get the unique address like rtsp:\/\/{YOUR_ADDRESS}:554\/{YOUR_SESSION_ID}. Normally, you can find it in the device control App provided by the IP camera manufacturer.<\/li><li><strong>Prepare a computer that is in the same network as the camera<\/strong>. It would help you to deploy the App, or configure the hardware connected to the local network.<\/li><li><strong>Get the Stream URL and key of your target platform<\/strong> (Youtube, Twitch, etc.).

You need to deploy it on your local PC and process the RTSP stream the way you want. The steps are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Download and deploy the Docker environment on your machine. Docker is a useful App container in which you can deploy and run standardized applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you install Docker Desktop on Windows, you need to update your OS to the latest version or install WSL 2 Linux Kernel before deploying Docker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. (Take Windows as an example) Open Docker Desktop, and open command prompt, or Windows PowerShell, initialize the container by input the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>docker run -d --restart always --name restreamer -e \"RS_USERNAME=admin\" -e \"RS_PASSWORD=datarhei\" -p 8080:8080 -v ${HOME}\/restreamer\/db:\/restreamer\/db datarhei\/restreamer:latest<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>3.

Download the Free <a href=\"https:\/\/obsproject.com\/\">OBS<\/a> (Open Broadcaster Software). OBS can get the RTSP video data from the IP camera, mixes the audio signal, and pipes them into your Skype, Zoom, and Teams video conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.

In the Skype (or any other chatting Apps) settings, go to the &#8220;Audio &amp; Video&#8221; option, and choose &#8220;OBS Virtual Camera&#8221; for the camera. Now you can see an image cover for the virtual webcam preview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Go back to your OBS. In the &#8220;Controls&#8221; panel, click &#8220;start Virtual Camera.&#8221; Now you can see the real-time video of your network camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"363\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kiloview.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ip-camera-live-streaming-sharing-rtsp-with-obs-to-skype.jpg\" alt=\"ip-camera-live-streaming-sharing-rtsp-with-obs-to-skype\" class=\"wp-image-17549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kiloview.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ip-camera-live-streaming-sharing-rtsp-with-obs-to-skype-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kiloview.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ip-camera-live-streaming-sharing-rtsp-with-obs-to-skype.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>7. Call your partner, and you will see that your IP camera works as your webcam. Since the OBS will take your microphone source automatically, you don&#8217;t need to set the voice normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">To Wrap it up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As IP cameras are widely used in houses and offices, you can easily have one of them in your live stream or live chat. They are all around and are ready 24\/7, so you can get many video sources from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To share the network camera data across the Internet, you need to transfer the built-in RTSP protocol into other formats (such as RTMP). You can use either a self-deployed Restreamer service, integrated CamStreamer App, or even an almighty hardware media gateway to finish the protocol conversion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To live stream your IP camera, you can use either a self-deployed Restreamer service, integrated CamStreamer App, or even an almighty hardware media gateway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17550,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kiloview.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17558","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kiloview.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kiloview.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kiloview.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kiloview.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17558"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.kiloview.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17558\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55553,"href":"https:\/\/www.kiloview.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17558\/revisions\/55553"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kiloview.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kiloview.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kiloview.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kiloview.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
