We want to use a streaming service to go live....could the audio be fed to the camera then firewire to the computer for broadcast?

actually there is a mini audio jack on the right side of the top handle (just behind the shotgun mic). It is concealed behind a rubber cap

There is no way to connect an external audio source. The only audio option is the on-board mic....which is not bad, but not something you'd want to use for most productions...especially live streaming. I suppose it would be possible to crack open the handle near the mic, disconnect the on-board mic and rig up some kind of direct connection, but I've never tried it. It's a great camera...lots of options for people like me who live in the SD/HD world. But, when it comes to recording quality audio for video productions, I have to use a separate mic and audio recorder and then sync it up with the video in post. Not fun, but it works!

You could use a video capture card (in your computer) if you have one, but a video camera will work also. If you have a video camera that can connect to the computer (firewire, USB, etc), then that will work as well and you won't have to buy anything.

Yes, you will need firewire though. Also to upload footage, you will need something like Sony Vegas Pro or Movie Studio, Adobe Premier, Adobe After Affects, Or Final Cut Pro. On the menue on vegas where it says file, click on that, then click on capture video .Sometime you will have to recapture footage, because the capturers glitch. Good luck!

You can.That's basically how I set mine up.Call foscam support if you get stuck anywhere.Some find the portforwarding settings a bit confusing. Just fyi. Support is very helpful, they can remote access your pc if need be.

Use a FireWire cable. Plug it into your computer and use a program like iMovie to capture the footage.

You would use a FireWire cable and import the video using video editing software.

Sure, I connected it to my computer using a firewire cable and captured the footage on final cut. I have final cut pro 7.

The output of this camera is on IEEE1394 (firewire). It should be compatible with any computer that has a compatible IEEE1394 input or can have an input card installed into it.

You need a firewire to go from the camera to the computer and the computer needs to have the correct plugin to use the firewire. Most computers do not have this capability (plugin port). Our son had added it to our computer and provided me with the necessary program (Nero 8) to copy videos. No software for this video camera have to do it the long way. You can consult like Best Buy's GEEK Squad or someone with that knowledge, we just happen to have a computer guy in the family. Be very careful the PINS on the plug-in on the camera BEND VERY easy and then you cannot do anything!!

I have not attempted it. The provided software does not. But it streams the video feed to other applications. There most like are some that can receive and record a live video stream

Although you will still need some kind of program or utility to actually stream, you can use this as a capture device to run a signal from your camera into your computer. Assuming of course that your camera is able to output on a compatible standard.

I believe you do need a FireWire cable- you can buy a FireWire card for about $26 right here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002S53IG8/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1360677485&sr;=1-1π=SL75You then just have to use your capture device program (Sony Vegas, or whatever Sony program comes with the camera) and you choose "capture video" and it will auto start the tape on the camera and begin pulling in th video from the camera.

Correct. FireWire is only used for connecting a camcorder or external hard drive.

The video camera does have a live feed option through ustream. It would technically stream through the Internet to a computer. I'm sure there is an output cable to go from the camera to the computer, but I haven't done that, so I don't know for sure.

Hi, You transfer the footage over to your computer using a firewire cable. If you have any other questions please let us know.

Hi, If your video clip is in your computer hard drive. the answer is yes but your computer must be widi capable. You still have the option of wire hookup

Yes, it has FireWire. I use the camera with iMovie6 to convert videos to mpeg4 and other formats, or do it from the camera through iDVD
