Since you are using an RTSP-based camera, and presumably playing back the output stream with the following URI

rtsp://[cameraIP]:[port]/[app]/[stream]

Then you can re-stream this using MediaCaster in Wowza.

  1. From the Manager UI, create a stream file and have this point to the URI from your camera.
  2. Go to Applications, and select your live application.
  3. Click on Stream Files, and you should see the stream file that you created. Click on the connect icon next to it.

You should now see the stream file as an Incoming Stream for your application. Check that you are able to playback the output stream from Wowza by clicking on the Incoming Stream, and selecting Test Players.

The URI for your IP camera would differ depending on what vendor/model you are using. Here are some common formats from some IP cameras.

Axis rtsp://[camera-ip-address]:554/axis-media/media.amp
Panasonic rtsp://ip_adx/MediaInput/h264
SONY rtsp://[login:password@][camera domain name or IP address]/media/video1

Make sure that you can playback the IP camera URI using a third party tool (VLC is great for this) that is installed on your Wowza server, so you can make sure that it is reaching your server correctly.
