In order to get streaming video on to your website there are a number of procedures you must first carry out. If you have not already done so check out our Getting Visible on the Internet and Basic Streaming sections to check that you are ready to proceed with this section. Once you have forwarded the port(s) you are intending to use for your streaming camera and programmed your firewall and anti-virus software to allow access to these ports you are ready to stream from your webcam. This site provides detailed help for many different types of router. Check out http://www.portforward.com If you intend to put your video stream onto your website for all to see then you will need to embed the player in the web page. This way as soon as a user starts looking at the page the video will be displayed. To stream using our Camsecure ViewStream package you simply follow the full instructions included with the software to put the required HTML on your own page and you will soon be streaming your own live video. When using our webservers you again simply put the sample HTML into your own design web page. You simply put the code into the page where you want the video to be displayed and you can design the graphics and whole look of the page to your own liking, but you will need to select which method to use to stream to the page. If you want to stream from a Webserver or IP camera then depending on the model you will have a number of options. Our 9100 series webservers can JAVA which is cross browser compatible, Axis embeded player or Active X which is designed for use with Internet Explorer only. Some IP cameras will stream to a windows media player embedded in the web page and some only work correctly with Active X so please check which camera will work with the method you wish to use. The method you use will depend on the performance you require and other things like the operating system and browser that will be used to display the stream e.g. Java works with pretty much all browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome. Camsecure ViewStream software will stream to these browsers too with the added advantage that it can also stream directly to media players such as Windows Media, VLC, Real Player and Quick Time for the mac. Active X does not work correctly with Firefox and Google Chrome and is intended primarily for use with Internet Explorer. If the video stream is to be private on a secure page for your own use then the method wont matter as you will ensure you are able to view it. However if the video is for multiple users and browsers then you will need to select the most compatible method. We supply sample code and page templates for embedding players in your own web page for all these methods when you purchase the relevant equipment and or software from Camsecure and detailed instructions and features for each option. |

All the streaming methods are demonstrated on the Camsecure Website with the most multi-browser compatible methods being most prominent to ensure everyone can see the video. Some of the more browser specific methods with more advanced controls and features are more difficult to discover by accident. There is a list of these methods with demonstration links on the main help and advice page. The three steps to streaming to your site are: 1) Configure your router, firewall, anti-virus to allow access to your port and Webcam program or IP Camera. Also set up a free Dynamic IP Redirect service if necessary. 2) Set up your webcam application, IP Webserver or IP Camera so its ready to stream to your site. 3) Insert the code on to your website where you want the video to appear. Camsecure Viewstream comes with a detailed manual and instructions for getting its video stream on to your site. There is also a Viewstream Support page and users have free technical support for the software. If you dont have a website but would like your camera to be available for the world to see we will stream your camera to the Camsecure live demo section Free of charge. Beware though..........watching your own webcams.........even when you are in another country...becomes addictive! |
Once your equipment is visible on the network you simply set up your equipment and insert the appropriate code on to your web page and then when the page is accessed, the stream is visible. If the code used also needs a player plugin this download can be made available from the webpage. Most commercially available webcam and streaming packages offer assistance in building your own web page to include the streaming components so you can customise it to your own liking. Registered Customers who purchase products or software from us can also receive technical support to help you with using the code and how to embed it in your own websites. |
