Live Streaming - Architectural Recommendations

Despite all the time spent looking for it, this information still eludes me. What I'm trying to do -

Goal: live stream a cam from a broadband connection, accessible to unlimited and all types of connected devices.

Assumed Architectural Components:
(1) Camera => (2) Video Host => (3) Devices

(1) Recommendations on camera and software to upstream?
An IP camera with lowlight capability that streams MPEG4 seemed to make most sense given setting and mobile devices.

(2) Recommendation on video hosting provider and software/network connection handling?
It's a little tricky to me how the upstream comes from (1) and only one stream would be sent (as (1) is only capable of sending the one copy) despite multiple people asking (2) for it. What's handling this?

Really appreciate any comments on these items because they are holding my project back big time. Enjoy your coffee :)
