An IP Camera restreamer attempts to connect to the given camera for 60 seconds.

The persist flag will cause Stream Manager to keep redistributing the provision, trying to connect to the camera indefinitely.

IP Camera puller example

restreamer-ip-cam-sm.json

[
    {
        "provisionGuid": "ipcam1",
        "streams": [
            {
                "streamGuid": "live/cam1",
                "abrLevel": 0,
                "camParams": {
                    "properties": {
                        "type": "ipcam",
                        "action": "create",
                        "remoteContextPath": "axis-media",
                        "remoteStreamName": "media.amp",
                        "host": "192.168.1.10",
                        "port": 5443
                    }
                }
            }
        ]
    }
]

Here we will pull live/cam1 from a connection to an IP Camera at 192.168.1.10:5443

Create Provision API call:

curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer ${JWT}" -X POST --data @restreamer-ip-cam-sm.json https://as-test1.example.org/as/v1/streams/provision/nodegroup1

At this point we can List Provisions to find our new provision:

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer ${JWT}" https://as-test1.example.org/as/v1/streams/provision/nodegroup1 | json_pp

Now that the Restreamer provision exists, any call to Get Server for Publish must include the restream=true flag to indicate intent to distribute this provision.

So let’s distribute our provision:

curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://as-test1.example.org/as/v1/streams/stream/nodegroup1/publish/live/pull1?restream=true

Now the stream should be pulling, so we should find a new stream live/cam1 when we list all streams:

curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://as-test1.example.org/as/v1/streams/stream/nodegroup1?aggregate=false | json_pp

It may also be useful to query Get Provision Status — this returns the status of the provision’s streams:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${JWT}" https://as-test1.example.org/as/v1/streams/provision/nodegroup1/ipcam1?status=true | json_pp

Later, when you wish to disable pulling (or after the source stream has ended), delete the provision:

curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer ${JWT}" -X DELETE https://as-test1.example.org/as/v1/streams/provision/nodegroup1/ipcam1
