Video output to the Internet

Question

Computer networks

It is necessary to output a video stream from several webcams to the Internet. For privacy reasons, solutions like ivideon or an embedded solution from camera manufacturers are not very interested, you need your own software on the server. Cameras of different models, a PC with which the signal is output in different places, i.e. you need to collect several video streams and broadcast, for example, on a website. Kick in the right direction.

Answer 1

Good evening!
I do like this from one camera.
/usr/bin/cvlc -d --loop --repeat rtsp://*.*.*.*/mpeg4/media.amp --http-reconnect --no-sout-audio --sout '#transcode{vcodec=FLV1,vb=4096,fps=30,sfilter=logo}:std{access=http{mime=video/x-flv},dst=*.*.*.*:8080/live.flv,mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv}}'

Answer 2

Linux is ideal for these purposes: you can use, for example, Motion or MJPG-streamer. There is an option to use a bunch of mplayer and ffmpeg, or in general the ZoneMinder video recording complex.
In the case of output to MJPEG, everything is generally very convenient, the picture can be viewed directly in the browser, without any special players, etc. Traffic, however, requires relatively much.
In the office, for example, video processing from surveillance cameras is carried out through AVReg (but it is paid).
