IP Cameraīefore you begin configuring a Raspberry Pi, you should first make sure that you have an IP camera that makes available a URL to directly access an RTSP stream. If you want to setup a Raspberry Pi and IP camera to be a livestream video server for YouTube, follow these setup instructions. I also had concerns regarding the continuous network communication required to take the RTSP stream from my IP camera on the LAN and send a 1080p HD resolution RTMP output stream to YouTube over the Internet. Before my test, I wondered if it had enough processing power and memory to handle the intense video encoding / decoding that FFmpeg would be performing continuously. Next, I decided to test the application with a Raspberry Pi. FFmpeg can be compiled and run on just about any operating system – including Mac, Windows, and Linux. It is the base platform for most major video streaming applications. FFmpeg is a free software project that produces libraries and programs for handling multimedia data. After some quick research, I found that RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) is not directly supported by YouTube. YouTube uses RTMP (RTMP Real-Time Messaging Protocol).Īfter some additional research, I found examples of how FFmpeg can be used to re-encode an RTSP stream to RTMP. RTSP is the video streaming protocol built into most network IP cameras, including Zavio. Several customers at CCTV Camera Pros contacted me recently asking if it was possible to use a Zavio IP camera for YouTube live streaming. Read this article to learn how-to use a network IP camera and Raspberry Pi as a YouTube livestream video server.
