CamStreamer App turns any compatible Axis IP camera into a professional live-streaming encoder – no extra hardware, public IP, or complex network setup required. Running directly inside the camera as an ACAP application, it pushes live video to YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo and any RTMP/HLS/SRT/MPEG-TS destination with enterprise reliability and simple, browser-based control.
Why buyers choose CamStreamer App
✅ Zero external encoders: Stream straight from the camera to public platforms or your CDN – reduce points of failure and footprint at the edge.
✅ Deep platform integrations: Native support for YouTube and Facebook including scheduling, status control, and a built-in “stream keeper” that prevents YouTube from closing a stream if a camera temporarily drops offline.
✅ Standards-rich delivery: RTMP/RTMPS, HLS (push/pull), SRT (push/pull/rendezvous), plus MPEG-TS—deploy into almost any workflow.
✅ Set-and-forget reliability: After camera restarts or reconnects, streams resume automatically; optional cloud watchdog monitoring available.
✅ Operates anywhere: Axis cameras’ low power and rugged design + CamStreamer’s on-camera app make remote and outdoor installations practical.
Key capabilities
👍 One-click streaming to major platforms (YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, and more RTMP endpoints).
👍 Flexible automation: Manual start, hardware button, API, or scheduled events (one-time or recurring).
👍 Multi-source support: Stream any camera channel or view area; works with CamSwitcher App to combine up to five cameras/clips into a single output.
👍Audio options: Use the camera mic, RTSP audio from other Axis devices, or audio files.
👍 Remote management: Configure locally via the camera UI or manage remotely via CamStreamer Cloud and the mobile app.
👍 Overlay graphics (optional): Pair with CamOverlay App to add logos, weather, scoreboards, PiP, tickers, and custom graphics right in-camera.
Ideal use cases
➡️ 24/7 city, tourism, nature, sport, traffic or venue livestreams.
➡️ Events, worship, education and corporate communications where simplicity and uptime matter.
➡️Remote locations (rooftops, towers, parks) where running PCs/encoders is impractical.
