Question

Can FMS stream from IP Cameras?

I am evaluation the FMS dev server. One of my requirements is to be able to stream IP camera footage through FMS.

Here is an example of one of our cameras: http://hctc.net/en/concan_frio_flash.html

Now, I realize that we are allready streaming the camera, so what is the big deal? I am looking for a way to utilize FMS's full feature set to enhance and increase the efficiency of those camera streams.

Thanks in advance.

    FMs can't connect directly to an IP camera. If the camera vendor makes a driver that an RTMP encoder (such as Flash Media Live Encoder) can see as a camera device, you can connect the encoder to the IP camera driver, and connect the encoder to FMS.

    Axis makes such a driver for their cameras, but I don't know about other vendors.

    When you say "connect" is that a physical connection into the machine hosting FMS? I have a couple cameras that have RTMP options. How do I connect to them?

    Do you mean that you have IP cameras, which can produce a rtmp compliant stream?

    Could you please give me the link of those cameras?
