Connecting a Mobile Device

You can use mobile phones and tablets to stream video. For example, if you are in a location that does not have cameras, you can use your device as a camera to stream live audio and video. Before you can stream, you must add the device to Visualization Suite and then install the Wowza GoCoder® application on your phone or tablet.

Procedure

  1. Add the device to HVS.

    • Select Menu > Objects > Mobile Devices.
    • In the Mobile Devices Administration window, click the Add Device (+) icon.
    • In the Mobile Devices Administration New Device window, enter the appropriate device information and then click the Save icon. The following table describes the options you can configure. 
      Tab Option Description
      General Latitude Only for fixed phones (landlines) and loudspeakers

      Click the Locate on map icon next to Longitude or enter the coordinates manually

      Longitude Only for fixed phones (landlines) and loudspeakers

      Click the Locate on map icon next to Longitude or enter the coordinates manually

      Phone Type Mobile Device (phones and tablets), Fixed Phone (landline), and Speaker (loudspeaker)
      Streaming Streaming Name Streaming name must be in the form domain-name_name, where domain-name is your domain, and name is a descriptive name of your choosing.

      Note the streaming name because you must also specify it when installing GoCoder on your mobile device. GoCoder must be installed on your phone or tablet to stream video.

  2. Install GoCoder on your mobile device.

    • On your mobile device, go to http://www.wowza.com/products/gocoder and download the application.
    • Open the application and tap the Server info icon.

    • Tap Application and enter live for Application and domain-name_name for Stream Name.

      Note: The stream name must be the same as the streaming name specified in the HVS Streaming tab of the Mobile Devices Administration Add Device window, where you added the device.

      Tap Server.
    • Tap Login and enter your Publisher Name (case-sensitive) and Password (case-sensitive). Tap Server.
    • Tap Done.
  3. To begin streaming, open GoCoder on your device and tap the red button.
