Can this camera be used to stream live? I have the software to live streaming but I need a camera to transfer the video live when connected to a Pc

This camera did not work with my 8 mm tapes. I had to return and they charged me 35% to accept it back (they said that it was due to handling to restock again???). Take care. Anyhow, finally I send my tapes to be converted to digital and ... no more need for 8 mm.

Hi Claudio, yes, this model is capable of USB streaming while connected to a PC via the USB cable. Thanks_Mitch

I honestly don't know. I am a 66 year old grandmother and just use it for looking at the early 8mm tapes of my granddaughter over the years. I also still use it to tape events as I have found that the 8mm tapes are still much better than the digital as far as visual quality. And we all like to watch the tape on our older TV that has the AV connections. It is easy for me and I don't have to have 4 different "clickers" to make make sure every other component is on and on right setting. I don't have the patience anymore! I enjoy the video camcorder for the exact purpose I ordered it. Good luck to you. I honestly don't know.

You do not have to have it hooked to a monitor for it to record. I'm not sure about the streaming video, I do not have my system hooked to the internet. I don't believe you would need it hooked to a monitor, but camera placement would be difficult without seeing it on some sort of monitor. I have read that it is easy to "hack" the streaming video feed, so I elected not to do that. I'm not sure if you can delete, or modify settings from a device, and that is why I didn't connect it to the internet

No. There isn't any way to stream the video. The video records to a chip that has to be removed from the camera to access the files.

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'm running Windows XP Pro and when I set the camera to "PC Camera" I am able to use it as a webcam like on ustream.tv without any problems.

As the Cerevo Liveshell streams directly to Ustream, the only need for a computer is to access the dashboard which is a website and should work on any operating system or device. Although the image isn't available on IOS. IMO this unit is awesome! Once you've hooked up to either a wifi or wired network and switched on it starts streaming. You can then pause it until the start of your program. The audio inputs and levels are very useful and easy to adjust, and the image quality isn't bad. Even though it uses HDMI, it's not hi definition. And obviously the end quality depends on your Internet speed and bandwidth.

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

Yes you can live stream. It has a DV CONNECTOR. You will need a FireWire port on your computer to transfer your tapes, or live stream. You will have a challenge finding a computer that will be compatible with your CAM. So much so that I sent my cam back to the sender after trying a plethora of times. This is an older model, (maybe it came out in 98). I highly suggest you purchase a newer model. My two cents...

This camera has a clean mini HDMI output that is suitable for recording or live streaming. A capture device is necessary for a computer to be able to use the image for live streaming. Some streaming devices (ie Teradek Vidiu, Matrox Monarch) or video recorders (ie Black Magic Hyperdeck Shuttle) can accept HDMI input without need of computer.

Yes you can. Straight stream from it to twitch. Or you can use it to capture and use another program to stream.

Dave - we use this camera in connection with streaming our worship services. It fulfills this need for us very well.

The camera is just a camera with networking capabilities. Really iffy network capabilities. If you're looking for a reliable internet video link, look elsewhere. This is not it.

Yes. But the downfall is that you must be running on battery power (power supply unplugged) for the live streaming to work. I have found out that this camera is not a good idea for church service recording to pc or internet streaming.

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.

Hi Patrick, Sony DCRSR45 Camcorder doesn't support USB live streaming.-Vincent

these kinds of cameras aren't designed to be used with a PC even though possible, it is easier to get a network or IP camera like a D-link or dropcam which are easy to hook up if you have a wifi network
