Unleash live connects with networked cameras. These are CCTV cameras via rtmp or rtsp protocol, iPhone and Android cameras, handheld cameras such as GoPro7 or Xiaomi, connected robots and DJI drones.

The best method is via wireless RTMP push streaming.

Modern networked cameras enable RTMP push streaming to your desired internet browser website, however, if you are running on a camcorder with a HDMI out port, connection to an encoder will enable internet streaming capability.

How do I stream using RTMP?

All you need to do is enter your secure Unleash live RTMP url token into the camera device interface and start publishing to your Unleash live account.
