On the resulting HTTP tab enter a Port number if the device requires a specific port or leave the default as 8080. In the Destinations section (See Figure 2b.), select HTTP (or other protocol) from the New Destination dropdown. Using a transport protocol like HTTP for streaming is nearly identical to the File approach above. If you are space constrained on your hard disk, this can be an important consideration. When you use a File as the stream Output Source, the file will continue to grow in size as long as you are streaming. (See Figure 4.) This stops the recording of the camera stream.

Controlling the Stream - You can stop stream recording by clicking the Stop button at the bottom of the VLC Media Player.

Start the Stream by clicking the Stream button.(See Figure 3.).

If you save the Generated stream output string in a text file, the next time you run VLC, you can just paste this string into this textbox and save the configuration steps above.

View Generated Options - click the Next button to open the Options section (See Figure 3.).

Select Transcoding Format from the Transcoding Profile dropdown (See Figure 2a.).

If the file already exists, it will be replaced when you start the stream. This is the file that VLC will stream your camera output to.

Enter Stream Filename (include drive letter and folder path) or click the Browse button to navigate to an existing file (See Figure 2a.).

Displaying in both incurs extra CPU processing, so this is a performance consideration.

Display Locally - Do NOT check the Display Locally checkbox (See Figure 2b.) unless you want to display the stream in both the VLC Player as well as in a Video Mill Media Screen.

Destinations - In the Destinations section (See Figure 2b.), select File from the New Destination dropdown.

Output Source - Leave the Source as dshow:// and click the Next button (or click the Destinations section header ).

(See Figure 1.) The Stream Output dialog (See Figure 2a.) will pop up.

Configure Stream - Now click the Down Arrow on the Play button and select Stream.

Select Devices - On the Capture Device tab (See Figure 1.), pick the Video Device Name and Audio Device Name (if you also want to use the sound).

Capture Mode - Leave Capture Mode as DirectShow.

Setup Streaming - Click Media - Open Capture Device.

Start VLC - Click the Start menu VLC icon.
