Live streaming over UDP

Wowza Streaming Engine

Dear,

I want to stream my video via UDP, where should I change in the configuration file.

Thanks

What is the source of the stream, which encoder?

Axis makes IP cameras that don’t normally involve an encoder like FMLE. You can re-stream directly from an Axis camera that supports h.264 following this guide:

http://community.wowza.com/t/-/53

In that guide, if you set the forceInterleaved property to “false” it should be UDP.

The point I am trying to make is that IP cameras don’t need another encoder, the encoding process is built-in. If Wowza can connect to the IP camera it can re-stream from it. You can have an IP camera on a private IP camera, and restream it to public internet from a Wowza server, as long as the Wowza server can connect to the IP camera, and clients can connect to the Wowza server from the internet.

I would suggest testing Apple’s QuickTime Broadcaster to see if it can push out from your private network to your remote Wowza Server. I haven’t tested this function, but if you have a Mac, it’s free to test and the setup guide is posted in the Live Encoders section of the forums (you’ll notice in that guide that no where do you give the Wowza Server the IP of the encoder).

I’m using FME 2.5 with Axis camera 214…

Do you recommend any other encoder other than FME that could does the job. My Axis camera has a private IP address :o

Yep, this is the point… my cameras installed in a local VLAN with private IPs, and wowza server is installed in a web server in another country… :slight_smile: so this is the reason I’m using FME… However, I’ll try to ask my ISP to provide me with a public IP to reach my cameras unless you have another way to do it without installing another wowzamedia server in my local network :slight_smile:
