Introduction
Do you have an IP camera that supports only the RTSP protocol and want to stream it to YouTube, Twitch, or Facebook? The simplest solution is to use Oryx. With just one click, you can stream your IP camera to these platforms for continuous 24/7 streaming.
How to change IP Camera's RTSP stream to RTMP/RTMPS for live streaming platforms? You can use OBS or Oryx. OBS requires a device, while Oryx works on a cloud server and in the backend. See the workflow below.
IP Camera ---RTSP---> OBS or Oryx ---RTMP/RTMPS---> YouTube, Twitch, or Facebook
Oryx helps you connect multiple IP cameras and stream live to various platforms, making your live streaming experience stronger.
Step 1: Create Oryx by One Click
Creating an Oryx is simple and can be done with just one click if you use Digital Ocean droplet. Please see How to Setup a Video Streaming Service by 1-Click for detail.
You can also use Docker to create an Oryx with a single command line:
docker run --rm -it -p 80:2022 -p 443:2443 -p 1935:1935 \
-p 8080:8080 -p 8000:8000/udp -p 10080:10080/udp --name oryx \
-v $HOME/data:/data ossrs/oryx:5
After creating the Oryx, you can access it through http://your-server-ip/mgmt via a browser.
Step 2: Pull RTSP Stream from IP Camera
Once you've created your Oryx, open the dashboard and navigate to Scenarios > Camera > YouTube.
Click on Live Stream Source, input the RTSP url, and then click Submit.
Step 2.1: (Optional) Enable Extra Silent Audio Track
If your camera only provides a video stream, you should enable an additional silent audio track,
otherwise, publishing to live platforms like YouTube will fail. Oryx can automatically generate
a silent audio track for you. Please choose the Silent Audio Stream option.
Oryx will automatically generate a silent audio track, when forwarding the RTSP stream.
Step 3: Stream IP Camera to YouTube
To stream your file to YouTube, copy the Stream URL and Stream key from your YouTube Go live page.
Open the Oryx dashboard and click on Scenarios > Camera > YouTube. And click Start Camera Live in Oryx.
Your stream will now be published on YouTube.
Step 4: Check Camera Live Status
To monitor the status of your camera live event, simply check the dashboard. You'll be able to see the status of all your camera live events, ensuring that everything is running smoothly.
Step 5: Stream IP Camera to Twitch
After setup RTSP stream, you can stream your IP Camera to Twitch, copy the Stream key from your
Twitch Dashboard under Settings > Stream.
Open the Oryx dashboard and click on Scenarios > Camera > Twitch. Click Start Camera Live in Oryx.
And your stream will be published on Twitch in the Stream Manager.
Step 5: Stream IP Camera to Facebook
After setup RTSP stream, you can stream your IP Camera to Facebook, copy the Stream key from your
Facebook Live Producer page,
then click Go live, and select Streaming software.
Open the Oryx dashboard and click on Scenarios > Camera > Facebook. Click Start Camera Live in Oryx, and your stream will be published on Facebook.
