All you need to stream lectures or university events is an Axis camera, the CamStreamer application, and an internet connection. You don’t have to search for an encoder to transfer the signal from the camera or deal with audio and video tracks separately. All you have to do is set up your selected Axis camera model with the CamStreamer application, choose your stream settings, and you’re broadcasting.
Once you set up the stream, it’ll do the work for you. The camera will broadcast as the students watch the lecture online. The lecturer can easily launch the stream and also end it. It’s also possible to turn the stream on and off according to a set schedule. After it’s terminated, the live recording is archived to a selected streaming service where students or others interested parties can view it again as many times as they wish.
You can add graphics and text directly to your live video with the help of the CamOverlay application, for instance the name of the lecture or lecturer, links to literature, or an ad for a university event… Not only will you add some life to the broadcast (and recording), you’ll also support its informational and promotional value.
The Faculty of Law at Charles University uses an AXIS V5915 camera equipped with the CamStreamer application for streaming individual lectures on YouTube. Representatives of the faculty were looking for an easy but high-quality solution that would be easy to operate and service and it seems they’ve found one:“The camera is a such an asset to us that we’d like to acquire more cameras for the other main lecture halls to make all the important lectures available online.“ ― Jan Krejčí, Faculty of Law, Charles University
The final price depends primarily on the Axis camera model you choose. In our experience, the two models below are especially suitable for streaming lectures.
