How to Live Stream Your IP & HD-TVI Security Cameras with OBS! (Three Methods)

Live streaming your security cameras to Facebook, YouTube, or Twitch is easier than you might think! All you need is a computer with an Internet connection, reasonable upload speeds (at least 3Mbps), and the free open source streaming software, OBS. DOWNLOAD OBS: https://obsproject.com/download Over the past few months, we've been streaming our security cameras to our private dealer Facebook page. We've gotten a good response to those live streams, but we've also gotten a lot of questions regarding our streaming process. In this video, we show you exactly how we stream our security cameras through OBS step-by-step. There are three methods for you to choose from. METHOD ONE: DIRECT STREAMING VIA RTSP One of the easiest ways to get up and running with your security camera stream is to add your camera as a media source via its RTSP address. There's no middleman, no extra equipment, and little-to-no setup time. Keep in mind that this method is only compatible with IP cameras. METHOD TWO: SCREEN RECORDING WITH A BROWSER If the RTSP feed is too unstable, or if you're wanting to stream an analog security camera, you can always pull up your camera's web interface, throw the live view into fullscreen, and stream you desktop through OBS. The downside to this method is that it takes up a lot of computer real estate. Unless you have multiple monitors, you won't be able to use your computer while streaming. METHOD THREE: RECORDER STREAMING WITH A CAPTURE CARD The third method isn't for everybody, because this one does involve purchasing additional equipment. But it's also one of the most stable ways to stream your IP or analog security cameras. Simply get your hands on an HDMI capture card, feed your NVR into the device with an HDMI cable, and pull the capture card into OBS as a video source.
