DVR Streaming with multicast?

Quite new to this sector and we are trying to develop a online broadcast of our products through multicast to cut down on the amount of bandwidth needed to stream live video from our IP Camera for which we use to demo to our customers.

We are based in Ireland/UK and would like to partner with a developer who has knowledge in this field to get this project started.

This is the guide for live streaming from IP camera:

Wowza will make one connection to the camera and re-stream to many clients. Is that what you are trying to do? (Multicast is something a little different.)

Wowza doesn’t support DVR functionality for live streams at present.

Except for the developer license, there is no set limit in Wowza to the number of clients. The actual limitation is usually network bandwidth, or server resources: RAM and CPU, but usually the network.

Basically we need to permanently display an IP Camera within an open webpage.

Is there any limitation to the amount of clients Wowza can handle?

Basically all our equipment has a multicast setting within the network settings so I was just thinking of using this feature when I looked up how to do the above.
