Ronnie Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Anyone ever done this for a customer? They want a webcam to stream on their website - I'm guessing we could use an IP camera which outputs their website people can point to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Do they want a stream or 30 sec / 60 sec still updates. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Ronnie Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 hmmm, the brief so far is limited. I guess streaming would hammer their upload? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardthatcher Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 We set this up for a building firm we do site CCTV for. Basically it is a private website that our web developer has a webpage that somehow he managed to get code of the DVR developers that they use for there web viewer software. He connects straight into the DVR stream it also takes snapshots everyday @ midday and saves them so later they can make a timeline video of the build.

james.wilson Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 The problem as you have identified is upload and bandwidth. 1 user fine, 2 or more would/may be an issue. We use our cloud transmission system for this when we have done it before. ir stream to our cloud. 1 user. Then its on the internet backbone so then bandwidth is no longer an issue for multiple views. But then not free. Depends on the client and budget. Stills can be done free using 60 second ftp uploads and then the webhost picks up the bandwidth. But most people prefer a stream (or so i have found) and prefer to pay for that than have 60 second stills securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
