How Wowza Fits Into Your Stack
Most organizations end up with fragmented video systems—different cameras, encoders, networks, players, analytics tools, and storage platforms that don’t speak the same language.
Wowza serves as the media layer that connects them all. Use your existing hardware with flexible upgrade paths, and integrate Wowza through APIs, SDKs, and Java modules that slot into VMS, analytics, AI engines, IAM, storage, and observability systems.
Embed Wowza in Your Monitoring Platform
Many security, surveillance, and monitoring platforms embed Wowza directly into their systems—using it as the backbone for video ingest, processing, and delivery across cameras, sensors, and edge devices. This allows teams to modernize video pipelines, support real-time and recorded workflows, and scale reliably without building and maintaining streaming infrastructure themselves.
Can I integrate existing cameras, sensors, and field devices with a new video surveillance solution?
Yes. Wowza integrates with existing IP cameras and field devices using standard streaming protocols such as RTSP, SRT, RTMP, and WebRTC, allowing organizations to modernize surveillance systems without replacing existing hardware.
What protocols are supported for live video streaming in surveillance networks?
Wowza supports RTSP/RTP, SRT, WebRTC, RTMP/RTMPS, and HLS, enabling secure, low-latency video ingestion and delivery across surveillance networks.
How do surveillance solutions handle low-latency delivery to command centers and mobile units?
Wowza delivers low-latency surveillance video using WebRTC for real-time monitoring and SRT for reliable transport from remote or unstable networks.
Can video surveillance systems scale to thousands of cameras or multi-site networks?
Yes. Wowza supports horizontally scalable, multi-site deployments that can handle thousands of camera feeds across distributed locations, including cloud, on-prem, and edge environments.
Can surveillance solutions deliver video to multiple endpoints simultaneously?
Yes. Wowza can simultaneously deliver the same live surveillance feed to command centers, mobile devices, analytics platforms, and remote viewers using multiple streaming protocols.
How do live surveillance systems ensure reliability during high-traffic or emergency situations?
Wowza improves reliability through resilient streaming protocols like SRT and WebRTC, support for redundant server architectures, load balancing, and deployment across edge and core infrastructure.
How can surveillance video be integrated with VMS, IAM, or analytics platforms?
Wowza integrates with VMS, identity and access management, and video analytics platforms through APIs and standard streaming outputs, enabling secure access control and downstream processing.
What support and monitoring options are available for mission-critical surveillance video?
Wowza offers enterprise support plans, professional services, detailed monitoring via logs and APIs, and deployment flexibility to support mission-critical video operations.
