macromedia flash flashcom: Hello! How can I connect internet-camera to fms?
Flash media encoder works only with local video devices as it seems to me. So,
the problem is to encode video stream from internet-camera and to direct this
stream to FMS instance.
The only way to get connection with internet-camera is to use network (no usb
adn so on).

you can try Flash media encoder if you don't need a dynamic access to your webcam:

sorry for bad answer, I read to fast your first topic...

internet camera have their own web server and CPU include in the box so I
think you should forget to publish directly to FMS... If you need only
streaming video you can save the stream with your internet camera, convert it
to flv with ffmpeg and stream via FMS. As I read, what you need is a real live
video solution... you can look at On2 SDK. Depending on your budget/time you
should consider to try something else.

Can you post your camera brand...

Thanks... So, can I show live video in flash player using On2 SDK? Oh, may be u
can suggest me any other solutions?

I just want to show live video using flash player (client side) and to have
good media server (server side).

I forgot the link :

http://www.on2.com/products/flix/live-sdk/

You can also check for FMS alternative product like Wooza and Red5. These
products are in java so from that point you can do something. I search very
rapidly on the web and I didn't find nothing related to the use of internet
camera with FMS in the manner you want. Maybe someone else in the FMS community
can help you? There's probably a way to do what you want to do, I'm sure, but
it will be tricky, it will involve a lot of time and it will take more than 5
lines of simple SSAS code.

If you found any clue post it; it might help someone else!
