Is there a way to live stream battery powered cameras like the Argus Eco?

[comesatime]

Like many people have already written, being able to stream without having to keep your PC on would be a big improvement. Maybe Reolink can set up a cloud based decoder to handle customers live streams?

Quick question, can I stream a camera that is on a different network? I want to put a surveillance camera in a property and would like to stream it from my computer at home since there is no computer on that other location. Is this possible?

I'd like to add another vote to be able to enter a stream url and stream key to stream directly to youtube. Dahua cameras can do it.

Is there a way to store these live stream videos in the youtube after 24 hrs?

[Boxcarphilly]

At the 1:40 mark you talk about channel number, and connected to an NVR. My camera is not connected to an NVR, so what do I put at the end of the RTSP after Preview?

This is amazing, i’ve always wanted to do this for my local area but it’s always been too expensive, you made it affordable thanks. Will this set up work with my reolink RLC-410w

[rollingstoner]

[coreoncrack]

Hi! I wish to get a Reolink camera to set it up to stream via Youtube Live by following your tutorial. Appreciate if you can advise when shopping for the camera, how can I know which model will work with OBS and without the need for any NVR/DVR etc. Alternatively, can you recommend me a few models? Thanks!

[TimMiller-et]

Which wireless cameras work with this? Thanks Tim

Hello and thank you for the video.
I have a RLC-842A that I've set up and fed into OBS.
However, when I change it to anything higher than 1440 it starts to "timeshift" a little by little. It's not consistant, but as an example, it can be 12:00 on the actual clock, but the image shown is from 09:00.
This does not happen at 1440.

A quick off and on of the source fixes it, but that means I potentially miss out on hours of video.

I've maxed out the memory I can on the OBS source.
Anything else I can do?

The video mentions that the E1 doesn't support this function. Does that include the E1 Outdoor?

[ScottWadeSalemVa]

This video helped us get our camera live on YouTube. Thanks a bunch. But we are looking for a way to create a persistent livestream of the camera to YouTube. Such that if the stream is interrupted and then resumes it will automatically continue the stream on YouTube without needing to go through the whole 'go live' setup again. Is that possible?

[SteveVickAK]

What is your camera is not on the same network as your OBS? How can you make this work?

[userbosco]

So I have a solar powered Argus 2 & 3. Are they not compatible because of the battery?...even tho they are solar charged?

[Random_How-tos]

Do you need a NVR, or is the PC with OBS just fine?

[Opinionnn]

I’d like to livestream to YouTube my view outdoors by keeping my camera inside on the window ledge. Id like this to be a 24/7 stream. Id also like to do this at my parents house, ideally setting up a system with multiple cameras. Which camera would you recommend?

[alefsaraie]

So I have the RLC-510A and i'm trying to get it to display in OBS. my only problem is that whenever I first set up my camera, It didnt ask me to set a username, only a password. as far as I know, everything in the RTSP url is correct, but when I put it into OBS, it doesnt display anything. what am I doing wrong?
