Our Live View API empowers you to seamlessly stream real-time video from your cameras, whether locally or over the internet, ensuring you have access to critical footage whenever and wherever you need it. - Local Streaming with HLS: Stream high-quality video locally using the HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) protocol. HLS is a widely adopted standard that provides reliable and smooth playback across a broad range of devices and video players. This protocol is optimized for delivering consistent performance, making it ideal for local video streaming needs. - Remote Streaming with WebRTC: Access your cameras remotely with near-zero latency using the WebRTC protocol. WebRTC is an industry-standard for real-time communication, enabling instantaneous video streaming over the internet. This feature is crucial for applications where timely access to video feeds is critical, such as security monitoring or live event broadcasting. This example show you how to get a live video stream from a camera over the Webrtc protocol. ### Prerequisites To use this endpoint, you'll need: - A valid Lumana api key. - A valid Live View token. - A camera id. ### Generating a Lumana API key: To generate Lumana API key login to the VMs and go to: **Organizations Settings** -> **API Keys** -> **Generate Key.** ### Generating Lumana Live View token for a camera: ```html bash curl --request GET \ --url 'https://access.lumana.ai/v1/live-view/cameras//remote/start?resolution=2' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer ' ``` ### Getting camera id You can get cameraId by using the API or by going to the platform -> Edit camera -> Camera Id. Please note that depending on the camera configuration, you need to select the appropriate resolution ( 0 - Standard quality, 1 - Medium quality, 2 - High quality ) and put it at the end of the URL
In response, you will receive a token and a server URL to commence streaming. ```html bash { "token": , "apiUrl": } ``` ### Stream Live from the camera: Once you have the token, you should start streaming in the first 3 minutes, as otherwise, for security reasons, the token will be invalidated. You can stream the live view from the camera using this player example. Where the Lumana Live View URL and the Lumana Live View token are the ones generated in the previous step. A simple example for playing WebRTC can be done with the below html file example:
Enter the Live View URL and Live View Token to connect to the live stream. ![](https://files.readme.io/64168495dfc5c348ae212b475ff2ea8c1ee7a973a62fb32d3fcb12fe6c0911ff-image.png)
