wirecast help

Post by julesism »

Hello. Long story short, we picked up a couple IP2M-841B's. We would like to use them as IP cameras/sources in Telestream's Wirecast app. I am able to add the camera using it's RTSP link but would like to try adding it using Wirecasts auto-detection option, I'm guessing it's finding it via ONVIF. When we try to add it this way, it asks for credentials. We try admin/admin, admin/password-we-set-for-cam, and blank/blank. We are not able to authenticate. I would like to try this method to see if it creates a real-time or close to real-time feed. The RTSP option is delayed by 1-2 seconds and we are pulling audio from another source. We would use the line-in option on the IP2M-841B but the sample rate of 16khz is too low. We need at least 44khz. Any suggestions on using the audio detect option or getting a real-time feed would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Aaron.

P.S. This is for streaming church services live over YouTube. I am familiar with other products that cost a lot more money (blah-blah-blah cube's and cams with HDMI out). We are trying to find products that will work without breaking the bank :)

Hello,

Not sure why the wire cast auto detect does not work. May be you can try with the camera default username and password admin after resetting the camera to factory defaults. If the latency is the issue, you could try the MJPEG stream from the camera but the video quality might suffer. Below is the link for API SDK for the camera.

The short version is this:
You must use this URI--> rtsp://{login}:{password}@{CameraIP}:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif

where {login} and {password} are your camera's login and password
note that you must add the port (":554") after the camera IP
