Using a CCTV Camera for a Live Streaming Wildlife Cam

Posted March 30th, 2010.

CCTV Camera Pros has partnered with CallingDucks.com to provide a live wildlife camera video stream of an area in Tennessee were turkeys congregate in the wild to eat. CCTV cameras are an excellent choice of equipment to create live streaming cameras to embed video into a webpage. When used in conjunction with a PC based video capture card or USB device, the live video can be used with Windows media encoder or the Ustream video producer to stream live videos in a webpage.
