Streaming function

You can perform streaming of audio and video currently shot with the unit over a network (wired LAN, wireless LAN, and USB tetheringcharacter_asterisk).

Streaming can be performed using the unit, application software of a device connected via a network, or a server that is capable of receiving streaming video sent from the unit.

There are 2 ways to start streaming: streaming from application software and streaming from the unit. This section describes how to connect the unit to a network for each method.

  1. Available for use when using icon_model-x2.

bullet02Streaming stops when performing operations such as displaying the thumbnail screen or playing back clips on the camera.

bullet02Streaming may stop when the date/time is set while streaming.

bullet02If there is a setting that disables VFR and other streaming functions in the scene file, streaming will end due to the scene file changing.

bullet02Take caution as streaming image may unintentionally be released depending on the system environment to stream on and setting of the service and system used.
