I imagine they figure that a streaming security camera is not something that would be very attractive to the general public for long term viewing and they'd rather not waste resources on hosting them. It seems like it would be easy to incorporate this feature into software or even add the ability to grab IP Cam streams directly on the Youtube upload platform, but I get the feeling that Youtube and other free streaming services would rather their platforms not be used for 24/7 IP Cam streaming. I have found some paid solutions that claim they will do the job.but as far as free stuff goes, it looks like using a dedicated PC to display the video and using a screen capturing program on that computer is the only simple way. I've downloaded it, but I've yet to be able to make any sense of the files it put on my computer! Apparently you have to create some type of scripts from what it's looking like to me and I'm not much on computer programming.Īlax.info website has similar capabilities. Perhaps that FFMpeg thing would be an option, although it will take a bit of studying as everything looks Greek to me at first glance. Using VLC, I can't even get a steady viewing stream, much less figure out how to push to Youtube.
I'd like to be able to work on other things with the computer and have the Hikvision's video feed pushed to Youtube in the background.Ĭlick to expand.No luck here. Is there some type of free software that would send the stream to Youtube as if it were a webcam? Or at least send the stream to Flash Media Encoder so that it can re-encode it to a Youtube acceptable format?Īn alternative method I've been doing is putting the Hik Cam full screen and then using a screen capture software.It works as a "redneck duct tape" style solution, but the downside is this requires leaving the computer dedicated to monitoring the cam. I see no way to make Youtube "grab" the video stream from the Hik.įor some devices, I use Flash Media Encoder which seems to work well with Youtube, but unfortunately I can't seem to even get the Hikvision IP Cam as a source for Flash Media Encoder. The Youtube source selector does not recognize it as a webcam (like it would a USB webcam) and Youtube only seems to accept RTMP streaming files.
Hey guys! I would like to stream my Hik 2032 via "Youtube Live".
