New Axis camera with H.264

Wowza Streaming Engine
41

Hey guys

I have tried to build a Recorder for the Axis camera, using the Module, LiveStreamRecord.zip (https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-record-live-streams-httplivestreamrecord). I have modified it to start recording onPublish.

But its not working. I guess it’s because the stream hasn’t been pulled from the camera 100% yet.

Anyone have an Idea on how to initiate a recording from these cameras.

Use the rtp-live-record stream type.

But doesn’t this prevent me from setting specific file name etc…

I am trying to record the H264 stream from the camera with a specified name.

Any tips ?

Good Afternoon All,

We just got an Axis P3301 camera and we would like to stream from the camera to the Wowza Media Server, then allow multiple clients to connect to the Wowza Media Server stream instead of directly to the camera stream.

We’re currently using Wowza Media Server 1.6 and we’ve been trying to get the camera to stream to the Wowza server using a SDP file however so far have had no luck. We’ve used any SDP file examples ( with modifications ) that we’ve found in the forums.

We’ve searched through the related forums and we’ve been able to stream the camera to the Wowza server using the rtsp stream from rtsp://:554/axis-media/media.amp and using the server as the wowza server: http:///rtplive

The questions or issues we’ve encountered so far are:

  1. Can the Wowza Media Server accept the stream from an Axis P3301 camera and re-broadcast that stream to allow multiple clients to connect, with just the Wowza Media Server package or is some other third party software required to re-broadcast a stream ( Such as Wirecast )?

1a. If this is possible with Wowza alone what would be the process or steps for getting this up and running? ( Or are there forum posts that I’ve overlooked that could get me started? )

  1. If this scenario were up and running are there specific ports that a viewer needs to gather the rtmp stream from, or should a viewer be able to connect to the rtmp:///rtplive and load the stream?

  2. As far as the axis camera, are there any adjustments that can be made to the rtp settings to allow this scenario to work more smoothly.

  3. I tried creating a SDP file using VLC but had no luck. Is there some other method for SDP creation that has worked fairly well?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Charlie,

Thank you for your quick reply! I have actually tried these and this works just fine as far as streaming locally on the Wowza Server.

I guess my next question would be how would a client not on the Wowza Server connect to this stream. For example the stream is fed from rtmp:///rtplive

How does the client connect to the Wowza server to view this stream?

Also, say the client is connecting using a viewer on another server. So, webserver-a is hosting a viewer. How does that viewer on webserver-a point to the Wowza server properly to pick up that feed?

I hope that makes sense, if not please let me know.

Again, thank you very much for the quick response!

Charlie,

Thanks again! I’ll give that a go and post back after!

Sincerely,

Devin

Hi,

I’m having trouble getting more than 10fps out of an axis m1011 camera but it’s not fixed by increasing FlushInterval. As in the above post I’ve no problem with the frame rate when viewing the rtsp stream with VLC player. Does anyone have any other suggestions what could cause this?

48

Hi seems to be no change in the frame rate and I don’t see any packet loss statements in either of the log files.

Hi…

Thanks for the settings.It worked for me.Only thing I want to check is whether I can able to do It for higher resolution or not. As I’m a nature photographer I had to take large frames so It is much needed for me.
