Webcam streaming

[lorus]

I want to stream live video from a Axis 213 PTZ to more than 20 users.
Is it possible to do this by using AXIS Video Capture Driver and windows media encoder to have the stream delivered by VLC server?

If you can view stream from your camera vith vlc, then, in most cases, you can rebroadcast it. You don't need WME, vlc can do transcoding for you, if needed.
Using vlc you're only limited by your upstream bandwidth, not the number of viewers. The back side of the coin is that they'll be unable to control the camera.

Here you will find an answer for your question(HowTo) without AXIS Video Capture Driver.
Let me know if you have problem with Russian

Hi,

I have also a wish in streaming with an Axis 207W. I don't speak Russian, have you got an english version of that information?

Hi Frans,

Before HowTo translation, I can describe it shortly:

there are 2 problems
1) AXIS products stream video with MPE4 ES codec without muxing;
2) VLC can't transcode unmuxed video stream.

That is why you have run 2 instances of VLC:
1) for TS muxing;
2) for video transcoding.

Next two weeks I'll publish English HowTo translation at my site.

Hi,

I managed to solve this problem.
By using Blue Iris Software this software can capture video and sound from my 207w and publish it to an windows media server.
