Hi,

I am looking for solution on recording stream from local machine without accessing Wowza stream server remotely, We don’t want admin to remotely access server and then initiate recording ? Can we user Wowza Api or is there some flexible solution that we can initiate recording locally ?

Thanks,

Hello,

You might want to investigate using the [LiveStreamRecorder module](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-record-live-streams-httplivestreamrecord%28HTTPLiveStreamRecord%29), which includes an API that you should be able to use remotely to control recordings using HTTP calls.

Best regards,

Andrew
