Dear All, I have a question to ask. I want to stream from IP Camera which use MPEG code, and I know that Wowza Media Server cannot stream from this type. But as I surf around forum and google, I knew there a way to stream it by using FFMPEG. I start to read about FFMPEG, but seem to very complicated. So I want to know how can I stream from IP Camera which use MPEG Code to Wowza Media Server. (IP Camera MPEG Code \> FFMPEG \> WOWZA) Let me know if anything wrong! Thanks and best Regards, Vichea ---

You can also use [VLC for this purpose](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-vlc-as-a-live-stream-encoder-with-wowza-media-server-mpeg-ts%28MPEG-TS%29), or the [Wowza Transcoder](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-and-run-wowza-transcoder-for-live-streaming). However, that is only necessary if the camera only supports mpeg-4 part 2 video codec. If it is mpeg-4 part 10 (AVC) video codec, that is h.264, which Wowza supports without transcoding. Richard ---

Kurt, No, that’s a pro or prosumer video cam, not an IP camera. There maybe a way to use it as a webcam, connect with RTMP live encoder like FMLE or Wirecast then publish to Wowza. But that’s not the intended purpose of this kind of camera. Richard ---

Kurt, Yes, you should be able to re-stream in Wowza from that camera following he [mpeg-ts guide](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-based-encoder%28MPEG-TS-based-encoder%29). The camera is the mpeg-ts encoder. You will use the same udp url (in .stream file as is shown) that the guide shows to use in the VLC, except that you should omit the @ Richard ---

Hi Richard, on the same subject … one of our customers just got a new JVC GY-HM650U/GY-HM650E Camera and I understand that it supports mpeg-4 part 10 (AVC) video codec, that is h.264. How would you suggest to set him up with an Wowza Application to go Live? I am not clear … do I use the “Re-streaming from an IP Camera” (camera.stream) or could he push directly from the Camera to a Wowza URL? Thanks Kurt ---

Richard. Thanks for your quick reply … I got some additional info about this JVC GY-HM650U/GY-HM650E camera it appears this Camera Version has a “Streaming” option where you can enter an IP and port. Maybe there is a way after all to stream through our EC2 Wowzas  [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75459754/Brochures/GYHM650%20Live%20Streaming%20Setup%20Guide.pdf](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75459754/Brochures/GYHM650%20Live%20Streaming%20Setup%20Guide.pdf) Thanks Kurt ---

Thanks guys for support, Now I can stream from the camera to Wowza. I miss some point that my Camera is support MJPEG. Now I stream it to Wowza by using FFMPEG. Best Regards, Vichea
