good afternoon my name is Mike Aldous I
am one of the cofounders of CCTV camera
pros and what I'm doing today is I'm
doing a proof of concept like a demo of
a livestream to show how multiple
security cameras can be used to stream
live video on YouTube so I'm you just
needed to turn down the volume on my
laptop that's why this is a first test
run so I'm learning some stuff myself
anyways there's a security camera in
front of me actually recording me
talking right now and this is all
running through one of our DVRs so I'm
gonna switch to a four camera view and I
have these four cameras set up I
actually have them on the monitor here
from me to view as well as streaming
through my macbook to youtube and one of
the ideas is I was going to simulate
doing like some product demonstrations
on this bench right here using this
camera so I just picked out a couple
items this is one of our bullet cameras
it's a high definition 1080p over coax
type security camera so BNC connector
and 12 volt DC power this is pre made
siamese cable so makes it real easy for
installation one end plugs into the
camera's video and into the power and
the other end goes into video input of
the DVR and then you could use a 12 volt
power supply like this one or you can
use a multi-camera power supply box I'm
gonna I'm gonna make
this camera live in a minute but let me
just set that aside from now another
thing I have here is a 4-channel video
multiplexer these can be used for live
streaming too so you can connect up to
four cameras to this model we also have
nine and sixteen channel models that you
can also run through like an HDMI
capture box which is what I'm using with
my laptop right now and then stream to
YouTube or Facebook this is a standard
like camera tripod and the reason why I
have it here was to show that the
threads on security cameras like this
one are the same as standard threads on
a tripod like this so this this will
screw right into here so I'll leave that
attached because we've set that up in a
minute I'm gonna switch back to the for
camera view on the DVR so let me let me
hook up this camera in a minute and I'll
explain exactly what's happening so just
briefly the so these top two cameras
obviously are in this room actually the
three are the one on the bench and then
you can see I have one of our outdoor
security cameras also connected to the
DVR and that's just to show that one of
the advantages of using multiple cameras
is they can be in all different
locations you know I could be walking
around our office here to the cameras
all over the place and if I had a
wireless microphone that would work
better but again the purpose there was
just to show that you know this camera
is nowhere near me it's obviously
installed outside of our office but I'm
still streaming it and the audio from me
coming from inside you still works fine
okay so what I'm going to do now is I'm
gonna actually connect this camera to
the DVR I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna
replace that outdoor camera with this
one so I can show you a view of how my
laptop is connected so I'll take this
and I'm gonna run it over to the back of
the DVR good disconnect that one outdoor
camera
and what I'm doing is I'm just attaching
that BNC connector to one of the BNC
inputs on the DVR and then I'm gonna
connect a power supply and it should
fire up here in a sec and we should have
a live view from this little bullet
camera which we do now so here's the
bullet camera and then let me just
straighten this out so here's my macbook
that i am streaming from and basically
how this is working it looks like a mess
because I have some video conversions
going on to get this to work but it's
actually pretty simple
this HDMI cable is coming out of the
back of my DVR and going into this
Blackmagic ultra studio mini or mini
recorder and then connecting to my
macbook via this Thunderbolt cable on my
Mac I'm running open broadcaster
software that that's a live view the
open broadcaster software and then on
the DVR I'm using the mouse that's
included and I'm able to change from the
multi camera view to a single camera
view this is the DVR interface so if I
want to switch to any of these cameras I
could just double click on them and I
can switch back to the four camera view
by clicking on this grid icon that you
can see right there and then there's my
simulated audience so the I another idea
here is we're gonna start having events
at CCTV camera pros where we can
demonstrate products and you they'll be
they'll be people will be invited here
and they'll be in the audience able to
ask questions and at the same time that
they're viewing it on the big screen in
this room we can stream it live to
YouTube and/or Facebook
we've helped out a bunch of businesses
all over the US with with
designing these systems we've helped
college sports teams
we've helped local businesses a friend
of mine has a gallery where they make
art sculptures and he he displays that
live on monitors at his location and
he's going to start streaming it on
Facebook
we've helped veterinarian boarding
places where we're people that board
dogs when people go away and they want
to be able to stream a live view of the
kennel
so owners could check in really any type
of application it's it's pretty
inexpensive to set up so you could see
here I have one of our cameras on a
tripod pointing down at B let me switch
this to full camera view so here's
here's another camera have on a tripod
and it's just pointing down at my
workbench here so again I could do
product demonstrations product reveals
you know pretty much anything live that
I want to display close-up I could use a
setup like this here this is the camera
that's recording the front of me in this
work area and then I have another camera
getting me from a different angle
back here
so sorry if I kind of jumped all over
the place really the purpose of this was
really just for me to experiment with
in-house and show people how you can use
multiple cameras to do live video
streaming on YouTube so I'm gonna wrap
this up for now and I'll be doing more
of these hopefully getting better at it
and being a bit more organized but if
you have any questions you can contact
me at Mike at CCTV camera pros net or
I'll leave this this live stream
archived on our YouTube channel you can
leave a comment there whatever is
convenient for you thanks for watching
