Can I use this to stream live video over the web using something like Ustream or does it only record video to disc?

As far as I know, it doesn't live stream. I upload to my computer and edit. The import cable/port is not a very good design on this camera. I bought 8 of these cameras for my classroom and 2 1/2 years later, only 2 of them will import.

I don't believe I saw that option. I have had issues with setting system up. I was excited when I purchased this, and when it arrived and we set up the quality was good, then when we went to set up to stream video we ran into difficulties, and reaching customer service is impossible. I have about given up with setting this up, and to top it off it does not come with hard drive nor the cd I had expected to aid with set up. The only thing that I can give information on is the video quality. So sorry I am of no help.

This camera can be used for live streaming? Using Ustream.com and similar services?

This is only a video capture device. You still need the video to come from somewhere.

There is no Disc it will record over old vid. Yes you can record all the time or set them up on motion record as i have mine so there on all the time but record when motion is detected you set them and let them do there job

I haven't used it that way. I was just interested in getting a really big disk drive. But it does come with server software, which is initially disabled. In theory you can stream media to DLNA or iTunes enabled devices. I just checked the manuals and found very little clear info. I can't say for sure what formats the server supports.

Hi, I purchased used one but returned as it was in the conditions as mentioned. So I don't know it stream video or not.Chandra

It is not recognized as a capture device in Open Broadcaster Software, so I am assuming is also isn't on other software as well. You need to use Window Capture to capture the DMCap window when trying to stream with this device.

Everyone is correct. If you have an HDMI capture device then you can, but this would be an add-on card. Your better bet is an SDI to USB3 device like Magewell SDI dongle ($300). Stay away from Blackmagic for streaming. It works but is a pain to configure.

No. It will not record any movies except free TV movies. It is designed to block you from recording any movie which is fee based movies being streamed over the internet like Amazon, Netflix, VUDU and more.

It really isn't what this device is designed to do. I'm not saying it can't be done--there are people who have modified this device to run Apache web servers and SQL databases. I know it can do some streaming of previously recorded material, but it isn't why I bought the device and I haven't tried it.

I called a tech and he said no, and yet some people are saying yes. Does the Nero Disc (came w/ player) do anything to allow streaming from pc to player?

I don't think it would work this way without some tools, configs and scripts. You will need to have a streaming script taking the video input and streaming it (RTSP or other protocols). There are many other supporting configs you will need (DDNS, firewall and others) to enable streaming from RPi to the Internet. Try goolgle "iSpy" or "Zoneminder" and see if they can support RPi. In summary, it's a multi-step process to get what you want.

Hi, I have it on the network and it streams to my Debian server running Zoneminder. It works OK for the money. If you have a decent recent version of linux (Ubuntu for instance) with java support in the browser, you can configure it on the browser just fine. I didn't try it with motion, but I see no reason not to work, since it works in Zoneminder. This is the url I user in zoneminder: http://&lt;username&gt;:&lt;password&gt;@&lt;ip&gt;/cgi/mjpg/mjpg.cgi Replace the stuff in &lt;&gt; with the proper info. I hope this helps. Even though this works fine, I would recommend you a better quality camera in the same price range, like the new D-Link. If you do a research, you can buy one with about $35 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/D-Link-Wireless-N-Network-Surveillance-Camera-W-iPhone-Remote-Viewing-DSC-930L-/360817167462?pt=US_Security_Cameras&hash=item5402610c66)

Yes I have! I have a 6 year old Netgear router (need to get a newer one) and a $30-40 CISCO USB wireless adapter plugged into the WD Media Player. My computer is in the back of the house connected to the router/internet. My video streams perfectly, no skipping or buffering, just continuous uninterrupted streaming. I don't know what I can say to help.. You tried the automatic detection? Must be that your network has an issue. Is the YouTube software working but not able to see files on your computer?
