Working on a mobile ustream camera rig that accepts a DV or analog AV input. Here is what I have so far. Anyone else doing this already and have a working setup?



I understand there is a ustream client for the Iphone, but the camera/audio on the iphone is so limited. Also I have not been able to turn up an AV input adapter for the iphone/ipod touch.

In previous years my setup consisted of a dual color wireless camera's one pointing straight forward and the other attached to a remote control pan tilt that I could mount magnetically to the roof of my vehicle. (I usually didn't because it looks kinda dorky.)

- the wireless receiver hooks straight up to the laptop via A/V cable's and the laptop is tethered to a VZ phone. I can stream straight to my website also the A/V driver's on my laptop are recognized as a webcam by Ustream and justin.tv so I can stream to them too. this works pretty good but requires a bit of setup time and the wireless is vulnerable to interference, so I have a basic web cam too for on the spot.

This spring I am planning on just using the webcam as to conserve outlets on my inverter.

just a side note as you may already be aware: wireless camera's can be good lightning detector's as every time lightning strike's nearby it glitches the video. < another reason I won't be using them this year.

the simple and what prob would be best setup is use a good quality webcam (a playstation 2 webcam has verry good quality and you find drivers for it on the internet use a laptop with a cellphone internet stick and there you go a good and stable quality cam setup that is only limited by the upload speed of the cellphone usb stick.
