Using Third Party Streaming Encoder software with our Live Streaming Services

With the Camsecure Webcam Hosting and Live Streaming Services you have a number of options for streaming your feed. The easiest way is to use one of our Plug and Play Webcams as then you dont need a PC or any software, and you dont even need to do any camera or router programming - just plug in and your on line. They will work with satellite and 4G/5G broadband networks straight away too. But if you want to use a USB webcam or even a local RTSP or other IP webcam or video source that you cant get through your network or you want to add video effects to the feed then you can use a Software encoder like OBS or FMLE. If you want a feed to auto start in the background when the Windows PC starts and dont need any frills we can also supply a program to do it for you.

But by far the most popular third party encoder that we have found is OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) and this is available for Windows PC, macOS and Linux operating systems. OBS will allow you to add text and special effects, switch scenes and cameras etc. all from your PC to your live stream.

Below are screenshots showing the best setup  to operate with our live streaming service, once you have signed up for a live streaming account via software encoder, you will receive your streaming account URL and Stream Key along with your webcam embed code. Then all you need to do is set up the software as below and go online. The settings shown below must be used to ensure the system can correctly convert your feed to operate on all todays devices via your embedded player (which we provide).
