|
What equipments do I need for using a Web cam to broadcast live video or monitor remotely?
- An Internet ready PC (Windows XP/Vista/7)
- Internet connection
- A USB camera or capture card which support WDM driver
- Webcam 1-2-3 or Watchdog software
- Windows compatible sound card (optional)
With Webcam 1-2-3 or Watchdog, you can broadcast live video from your
computer easily.
Bandwidth requirement
- Viewing by ActiveX
This method allows you to serve more viewers with lower frame rate.
- Viewing by Windows Media™ Streaming
Select this method if you need to broadcast audio as well.
Windows Media™ provides better video quality for streaming if you have limited
bandwidth. If you enable Windows Media™ Streaming, you can refer to
Compression data rate table.
You can select a data rate based on your uplink bandwidth. For example,
if you have 512 kbps uplink and select 96 kbps data rate, your bandwidth
may be able to support up to 5 concurrent viewers.

Note: Viewing by Windows Media™ streaming is limited to 10 concurrent connections.
