BlueIris/Flash Media Server "Live streaming to website"

Recommended Posts

I tried this in the BI forum last week, but no nibbles.

 

One of my BI cam servers is headed for bandwidth issues as

more than about 4 concurrent users seem to slow the FPS

down quite a bit. Can't imagine a dozen....

 

So I am thinking about a single "User" which is actually

a stream for each camera to a streaming site somewhere that

is not so bandwidth-bound.

 

Problem is that I don't have a clue.

 

Here is what I *think* I understand.

 

Can somebody validate or correct this:

 

  • IP cam connects to something called "Flash Media Server Software" running on a local PC.
    .
  • The "Flash Media Server Software" on the local PC is connected over the WAN to somebody's web site.
    .
  • That web site is running something called "An Embedded Player".
    .
  • On the web site, the web page that presents the camera's video contains HTML that points to the site's "Embedded Player" and tells the user's browser that we are going to feed a Flash Player stream to it.
    .
  • The user's browser either throws a "Flash Player required to view this" or seamlessly renders the video.

 

 

Am I even close?
