How to connect a GoPro camera to Angelcam

Written by Ondrej Lanc

​
In addition to the GoPro camera, you need a PC or MAC for transcoding the stream and a properly configured router. 

  1. Run VLC from the command line with the parameters:
    Just as an example, replace the IP address of your GoPro camera according to the YouTube tutorial:
    VLC http://10.5.5.9:8080/live/amba.m3u8 --sout="#transcode{vcodec=h264}:rtp{dst=127.0.0.1,port=4444,sdp=rtsp://0.0.0.0:8080/live.sdp}" --verbose=3 --logmode=text --file-logging

  2. The previous command will open RTSP port 8080 on your PC/Mac. If VLC isn't able to connect to this port in the following step, alter your firewall settings.

  3. Create a port forwarding rule in your router to make the stream accessible remotely.

  4. Your RTSP path would be rtsp://your_public_IP:8080/live.sdp - Add this to the Angelcam Camera Connector.
