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.
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

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.
There are a few different ways to stream your camera to your site. The method you choose will depend on your target audience. If you want to
make your cameras available to pretty much everyone who visits your site, compatable with all graphic browsers including mobile phones and
devices and with no special software to install or plugins to download AND without having to use a PC, then your best bet is to use on of our
weatherproof IP Webcam for Websites kits.
With these kits you are supplied with all the code and instructions you need to insert into your own web page and your camera will work like the
demonstration cameras here on Camsecure. This also makes for a very reliable system as the camera connects directly to the router with no PC
involved so its efficient and reliable. Once you can connect to your camera over the Internet you simply paste the samples of code we supply into
your web page where you want the camera to appear. Then just change the marked settings in the code to your own and there you are, your own
camera streaming to your own website.
The great advantage of this method is that it wont put people off your site by asking them to download anything or telling them they have to use a
specific browser. The speed of the image update (frame rate) will depend on the speed of your internet connection and the number of simultaneous
viewers on the camera, but the number of viewers is unlimted so everyone who visits the site will see the camera feed. We have tested the code on
Internet Explorer V6 to 9, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, and on Windows, Mac and Linux. We have also tested the code on Windows Mobile,
Symbian, Android, iPhone and Blackberry browsers and it works great. All you have to do is make sure that "enable java" is ticked in your mobile
device browser settings, which it usually is on most phones except the Blackberry. Tick this box and the Blackberry will see the the camera feed
splendidly.
If you want really smooth video and audio too which is compatable with most browsers (but not all) then you will have to connect cameras directly
to a PC and use software on the machine to provide the buffereing.
You can use our own software Viewstream for this if your using a USB camera and only need a maximum of 10 simultaneous viewers with no
audio. If you need more viewers and different cameras other than USB then you will need to use a streaming service to send the feed to first then
relay it to your website. As you can see it all gets a bit more complicated then but if thats what you need then thats what you have to do.
