IP camera restream

Goodevening,

I have a question. I have a Wowza server for my IP camera’s.

I have 6 IP camera’s now in my Wowza server. The camera’s are 24/7 connected.

Is it possible that Wowza connect to my IP camera when people watching?

I mean when no body watching than Wowza disconnect the IP camera, and when ther is a watcher Wowza connect.

I hope anybody know’s that is possible.

Regards,

Wiebe

Hello there and welcome to the Wowza support forum.

If your clients are RTMP and/or RTSP you would just need to set your stream type to “rtp-live”. When using the “rtp-live” stream type in your application’s configuration file, the source stream will be published to Wowza only when the first client connects to the stream

For HTTP streams to be active, the data packets need to be packetized. Wowza will start packetizing the HTTP stream as soon as the stream is published.

The stream is not published if there isn’t at least one client requesting the stream. So basically, an HTTP client can not be the first to request the rtp-live stream. Once the stream has been published by an RTMP client, HTTP clients can connect.

I hope this answers your question.

You would set the ‘StreamType’ to ‘rtp-live’ in the file [install-dir]/conf/[MyApplicationName]/Application.xml
