this YouTube livestream video is being
broadcast using 1080 p HD security
cameras connected to a video
surveillance DVR the HDMI output of the
DVR set to a spot monitor mode which
automatically switches the screen
between these single and multiple camera
views this is how its setup so up top we
have 16 cameras hardwired to our DVR
this these are a mix of different types
of HD over coax type cameras also
referred to as HD CCTV cameras
these are 1080p a HD and 1080p HDTV eye
cameras so rg59 siamese coax cable is
used to hardwire those 16 cameras back
to the DVR and in this particular case
we're using the HDMI output of the DVR
to connect to our streaming PC our
streaming PC is a Windows PC with with
with a with a video capture device
installed it's an HDMI video capture
card from Blackmagic and we're using the
open broadcaster software that PC is
connected to a high-speed internet
connection via our router and cable
modem and that's allowed that's what
allows us to connect to the YouTube
streaming server so the result is the
live video that you see here and again
the DVR the HDMI output is set to a spot
monitor mode which basically allows the
HDMI output to continuously display
these different live camera views and it
doesn't impact the operation of the DVR
we have another monitors set up using
the VGA output and that allows us to
control the DVR to search through and
playback recordings and that doesn't
impact this HDMI output at all that's
what a spot monitor is here's how the
monitor is set up on the DVR so on the
DVR if I go into the menu system and
then go into the display settings
on this screen that spot dwell this is
where I can set the number of seconds
that the spot monitor pauses on each of
you so it's when scrolling to from view
to view that's the amount of time it'll
pause and you can either have these DVRs
set up and in a dual display mode where
both the VGA and HDMI are the same or
the mode that we're switching to it's
just a spot monitor that allows you to
go in here and configure different types
of live views so I'm just gonna set up a
couple of different screens I'll set up
some single camera views first camera
one I just add a camera to add a couple
more I'll add cameras three and four and
these are all single camera views it's
gonna pause on each of these views for
five seconds you can also set up
multiple camera views so we'll set up a
four camera view and you can choose
which cameras appear in that grid will
do cameras one through four I'm also
going to set up a nine camera view and
we'll set up a view that displays all
sixteen cameras so once all those views
are set up I can close out of this
screen and then apply these settings so
again the vvg monitor is gonna be the
main monitor and the HDMI is gonna be
the spot monitor that we're using for
streaming and then when I save that
configuration the DVR will need to
reboot so then the result is here we're
back to the live stream and this is the
HDMI output again connecting to a
streaming PC and here's the single
camera views that I set up
so that's cameras one through four in
single camera mode that one happens to
be a PTZ camera so it moves to different
locations you can also control it and
then here's our four camera view and
then you'll see the nine and sixteen
multi camera views
so if you're just joining us this is a
YouTube livestream video that's being
broadcast using 1080 p HD security
cameras connected to an idvr-pro video
surveillance DVR we're using the HDMI
output of the DVR and spot monitor mode
which automatically switches the screen
between these single and multiple camera
views here's basically the network
layout of how this is configured so we
have 16 HD CCTV cameras connected to our
idvr-pro and these DVRs are compatible
with the old analog CCTV cameras
standard definition as well as the
latest HD over coax cameras
HD HD t VI and HD c VI High Definition
formats are all supported those are
those cameras are hardwired to the DVR
using rg59 Siamese coax cable and then
using the HDMI out for the DVR we're
connected to a streaming PC we build
streaming pcs here at CCTV camera pros
with Blackmagic capture cards so we're
using a 4k Blackmagic capture card in
this particular PC and capturing the
HDMI output of the DVR and you'll you'll
notice I also have in that diagram our
team SP stream you can also directly
access the RTSP stream of each of these
cameras on the open broadcast software
on the streaming pc but what I found is
the HDMI output is is much faster
there's there's no lag at all and the
fact that you can set it to this spot
monitor mode like this that just rotates
to different camera views that you can
configure it's it's really convenient
especially if you want to kind of
automate some live broadcasting
and again back to back to this screen so
the the network router there is
connected to a high-speed Internet
connection we use cable connection here
at the office and then this is what
enables that streaming PC to communicate
with the YouTube livestream server
Facebook live or twitch TV you could
broadcast to all of these different live
streaming networks as well as many
others and I'm gonna go over just one
more time how this how the spot monitor
is set up on the idvr-pro so i access
the DVRs menu system we're not we're not
viewing the the DVR directly and then in
this display settings screen I can
configure how many seconds delay or
pause at each of the screens that we
configure that it stays on each of those
screens so we're just going to set it to
5 seconds and then the duplicate screen
display we switch that to a main monitor
plus spot that that enables that HDMI
output to always display these different
live screen views even even if an
administrators on the DVR on the VGA
monitor that won't impact the spot
monitor display so the way I have it set
up is I add cameras 1 2 3 & 4 as seeing
no single camera views right here
and then I'm gonna add a for camera view
for cameras one through four you can
select any of the 16 cameras to go in
this view and of course you can have
multiple for camera views as well let's
scroll from from 1 for camera view to
the next we're just going to keep the 1
for camera view and then add 9 and 16
camera Multi views and then on the DVR
when you close and save that the DVR
will need to reboot so we apply the
settings and then just acknowledge that
the DVR is going to reboot and again the
result is these live camera views that
scroll from one view to the next these
are the single camera views that we
configured and then you can see the four
camera view here and the 9 camera view
and then last the single camera view
you'll notice camera 3 is a pan tilt
zoom camera that's set on automatic tour
to go to I think like 16 different
preset locations we're back now on the
single camera view so you'll see the PTZ
camera again here in a second there it
is
so here again is how this is all set up
there will be a URL on the YouTube video
page with with a link to our live
streaming web page that you can read
about how this is done I'm going to also
post this on our website if you want to
learn more about live streaming using HD
security cameras and DVRs
you can actually also use multiplexers
if you don't want to use a DVR we have
equipment that I'll let you use your
existing DVR and split the video signal
from each of your cameras out to a
device that can that can switch to these
different camera views if you want to
