Using a Sony SNC-RZ50 internet camera

Wowza Streaming Engine
#1

We have just bought the Wowza media server and we’d like to broadcast our internet camera images in flash video. Our Sony SNC-RZ50 is capable of sending out a H.264 stream using RTP(UDP) on port 50000, however, the camera cannot generate a SDP file so I’m a bit stuck here.

The command to fetch the stream from the camera is GET /image?udpmode=unicast&udpport=30000 - normally the camera should react with a RTP stream towards port 30000 and an RTCP stream (for the reports) towards port 30001.

Any help on how to configure this in Wowza?

Try using this as your .sdp file:

v=0
o=- 571622436 4192730712 IN IP4 127.0.0.1
s=Generic
i=Generic
c=IN IP4 127.0.0.1/64
m=video 30000 RTP/AVP 97
a=rtpmap:97 H264/90000
a=control:trackID=1
a=fmtp:97

It looks like it might work. What is the http url you are using to start the stream? Does the camera send out video as well as audio?

Charlie,

Thanks for your suggestion. I suppose I have to launch the http command just before starting the Wowza stream, so the camera starts sending out its video? Also, I see 127.0.0.1 twice in the config, shouldn’t they be replaced with the IP of the camera?

Charlie,

It’s not working. Wowza reports the following errors. Can you please check out this document and let me know if there is any hope on getting my Sony to work with Wowza?

Thanks.

Thanks for the helping hand, Charlie. Really nice of you.

In fact, the camera can send out an RTP stream in MPEG4 or in H.264 - I thought both MPEG4 and H264 were the same but it seems they’re not…

The webcamstream is not available over the internet, but for testing purposes I can forward the IP to the outside world if that is needed to get everything working. Can you give me your IP address so I can at least limit the access?

Video is originating on ports 50000&50001, audio on 50002&50003.

In order to get the stream started towards port 30000, you need to send out the following commands:

http://ip-of-camera:1029/h264?Udpmode=unicast&Udpport=30000

or

http://ip-of-camera:1029/mpeg4?Udpmode=unicast&Udpport=30000

(upper and lowercase are important!)

Did you manage to get this working ?

Im trying to figure out how to get my Sony camera streaming with wowza.

But getting stuck on pretty much the same areas as you describe here.
