Cloud Video · Stream Relay

ANY SOURCE.

Every destination.

Take any IP camera, local encoder, or bandwidth-limited broadcast feed and redistribute it to your website, social channels, satellite destinations, and a global CDN audience, from a single centralised platform. No changes to your existing equipment required.

Stream Relay Features

Everything you need to relay, redistribute, and reach more viewers.

Ingest any source once and distribute it everywhere your audience is. Stream Relay removes every constraint between your local camera or broadcast feed and a worldwide audience.

IP Camera Source Ingest

IP Camera & Source Ingest

Connect any IP camera, RTSP source, RTMP encoder, or HLS feed directly to MediaCP. No hardware changes at the source, no public exposure of your camera or encoder to the internet.

Centralise Multiple Sources

Centralise Multiple Sources

Manage cameras and broadcast feeds from different locations and protocols in a single dashboard. Consolidate every source into one platform for consistent control, monitoring, and distribution.

Adaptive Bitrate Transcoding

Adaptive Bitrate Transcoding

Automatically transcode your relay stream into multiple quality tiers. Every viewer gets smooth playback regardless of their device, connection speed, or screen size.

Paywall and Access Control

Paywall & Access Control

Lock relay streams behind paywalls, membership gates, or token-based access. Monetise IP camera feeds and protect sensitive or premium broadcasts from public access.

Automatic Recording and Archiving

Automatic Recording & Archiving

Every relay session can be automatically recorded and saved to your media library. Build a searchable archive of footage with no manual steps or third-party storage required.

Simulcast to Every Destination

Bandwidth-Limited Networks

Expand the reach of any local broadcast.

Whether you are broadcasting from a church, stadium, school, or remote location, your local upload bandwidth does not have to limit your audience size. MediaCP ingests a single stream from your source and distributes it to unlimited simultaneous viewers via our global CDN, absorbing local network instability before it ever reaches your audience.

IP Camera & Security

Rebroadcast your IP cameras to any platform.

Most IP cameras output RTSP streams built for local viewing only. Stream Relay ingests those feeds and brings them into the full MediaCP platform, where they become proper broadcast channels with embeddable players, recording, analytics, paywall protection, and simulcasting to social and satellite destinations. Your cameras stay behind your firewall throughout.

02

MediaCP connects and ingests

MediaCP reaches out and pulls your stream automatically. Your camera stays behind your firewall. Nothing needs to change at the source end.

Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers to the questions we hear most.

Every plan includes a 7-day free trial and is protected by our 30-day guarantee. No contracts, no lock-in, no surprises.
What types of IP cameras work with Stream Relay?

Any IP camera that outputs an RTSP stream will work, covering the vast majority of cameras on the market including Axis, Hikvision, Dahua, and any ONVIF-compatible device. Your camera simply needs to be accessible over a network connection from MediaCP. Video must be H.264 encoded with AAC audio.

Does my camera or encoder need to be exposed to the internet?

No. MediaCP reaches out to pull your stream, so your camera can stay safely behind your firewall. You do not need to open inbound ports or expose your camera to the public internet. Your local network setup stays exactly as it is.

What protocols does Stream Relay support for ingest?

Stream Relay supports RTSP for IP cameras, RTMP for encoders and streaming software, HLS, and MPEG-TS. Most IP cameras, hardware encoders, and broadcast software are compatible without any configuration changes at the source.

How much bandwidth does my source location need?

Only enough to send one stream to MediaCP. A 5Mbps upload supports a 1080p relay, with MediaCP distributing that stream to unlimited simultaneous viewers via CDN. Your local connection handles only the source upload, not the viewer load.

Can I record and archive the relay stream?

Yes. Automatic recording can be enabled on any relay channel. Each session is saved directly to your MediaCP media library and stored for as long as you need. You can build a full archive of footage without any manual steps or third-party storage setup.

Can I simulcast a relay channel to Facebook or YouTube?

Yes. Once ingested, a relay stream can be simultaneously pushed to any combination of destinations including Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, custom RTMP endpoints, and satellite distribution channels, all from the same channel and the same source stream.

Is the relay stream secure and encrypted?

Yes. All relay streams are protected with SSL encryption from ingest through to delivery. Your camera communicates securely with MediaCP, and your viewers receive an encrypted stream. Optional paywall and access control features let you restrict who can watch and require payment or authentication.
