Geek Post: Streaming video relay ?

Recommended Posts

GEEK POST TECH TALK !!!
WOOOP! WOOOP!

All non geeks, you may hit the back button and continue PW'ing.

Is it possible to do some kind of video relay from one server to another ? What I'm thinking of doing is hosting a web cam (surveillance) at my house (slow upload) to my webhost provider (OC-3 Baby!!) and then serving that video stream from that server ?

Get it ??

ServerA with webcam--->ServerB----> multiple viewers. ?

The reason is that I want to keep an eye on my new puppy with my older dog...just to watch them. And having a few people (my, my gf and others ) on my slow-ass cable upload just ain't cuttin g it.

Thx.

What you would have to do is have a large cache on the oc3 so that you could upload x amount without surpassing the amount of bandwidth used to stream your video. The only reason you would want to use the oc3 otherwise is so lots of people can see a slow webcam.. eh just my thoughts.

I used to work for Real RealNetworks. That is exactly what the RealServer product is set up for. I believe its called Helix Server now. They even have a stripped down freebee version. I'm not sure exactly how the new stuff works now, but if you need a Producer (encodes in real format), there is a freebee version there too
