Sending the video from a camera to OBS software running on the same Mac

tdenson

Is there any plan to support NDI or Syphon that would enable me to do the above. I can actually achieve it now by pointing OBS at the Window containing the camera picture but it's a bit kludgy as I get more than just the picture.

Looking at the OBS documentation, this should be achievable by using the VLC Video Source option in OBS and using SecuritySpy's RTSP streaming URL as described in our Web Server Specification document - specifically, look at the Live Video > H.264 stream (RTSP) section and the Authentication in URL section. The URL will be something like this:

rtsp://address:8000/stream?cameraNum=0&auth=dXNlcjpwYXNz

Hope this helps.
