Can you give a couple of tips on organizing an online broadcast?

Question

CCTV

Hello!

I need to organize an online broadcast from a webcam.

It will be watched by 20-30 people at the same time (but maybe more) using the video embedding code on the site (such an iframe on the page)

I broadcast not directly, but through the ivideon.com service

By the way, did anyone work with them? What can you say about the quality?

Now I want to understand something:

1) About the camera.

I have been choosing for a long time between this one and this one

. Does the second one, in your opinion, have advantages that may appear during online broadcasting?

2) About the bandwidth of the network.

The computer from which the broadcast will be broadcast has a 9 megabit / s network connection (well, ideally)
Do I understand correctly that in this case all my clients are already connected to the iVideon servers and the task of my computer is only to ensure the transfer of its video stream to the iVideon? Those. no matter how many people will watch the broadcast (at least 10, at least 1000), since all this will already fall on the shoulders of the service?

3) About hosting.
Will regular hosting (I took it from ihc.ru) be enough for such a broadcast? In general, viewing such a video on the site by a client is a resource-intensive operation for hosting?

Thanks for the answers, they will help me get a little closer to enlightenment.

If you embed a video on a site, then it will not create a load on the site itself (it is equivalent to embedding a video from YouTube), here you should rather take care of the performance of the PC to which the camera itself will be connected, because. the initial processing of the video stream from the camera will go on it.
For example, I connected a webcam and ivideon to my nettop (atom 330 / 2gb) and so it doesn’t pull 720p with great difficulty, the image is jerky, in general, try it.
