Specifications
What’s Included
1. EZ Streamer Model 100 Encoder
2. 3.0A USB-C power supply
3. 1’ Ethernet Cable
Compatible Cameras
The EZ Streamer Model 100 is compatible with IP Cameras (Internet Protocol Cameras) that support
H.264 encoding and include the Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). IP cameras use either Ethernet
cables or a Wi-Fi connection to connect to your local network. From there, the signal will be encoded by
the EZ Streamer encoder to your live streaming service.
EZ Streamer Network Configurations
Basic Wired Live Streaming Camera System
This is one of the most basic set ups using the EZ Streamer and a security/IP Camera to live stream your
webcam to YouTube and/or Facebook Live. Simply connect the EZ Streamer to your router or a network
switch on your network. Next, run an outdoor rated CAT6 Ethernet cable from your router or switch to
the IP camera. You will also need to power the IP camera using this configuration. The Ethernet cable
can’t be any longer than 300′. Once the systems are wired configure your EZ Streamer on the EZ
Streamer portal and you’re live.
Basic WiFi Live Streaming Camera System
This is second most basic set up’s using the EZ Streamer and a WiFi security/IP Camera to live stream
your webcam to YouTube and/or Facebook Live. First, connect the EZ Streamer to your WiFi router or
network switch. Next, install our WiFi IP camera within wireless range of your WiFi router and plug the
AC power outlet into your camera. Once the systems is wired configure your EZ Streamer on the EZ
Streamer portal and you’re live.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) Wired Live Streaming Camera System
This configuration is the same as Configuration 1 other than now we are installing a PoE (Power over
Ethernet) AI switch. The PoE switch will eliminate the need for the camera power supply. This simplifies
the install since the camera will be powered using the Ethernet cable. Note, your IP camera must be a
PoE type IP camera. The “AI” PoE switch will extend the maximum length of the Ethernet cable from
300′ out to 820′.
Multiple PoE Wired Live Streaming Camera System
This configuration is exactly like Configuration 3 only it demonstrates the expandability of the set up.
Since the EZ Streamer can support encoding up to 4 cameras at once to YouTube or Facebook Live you
can install three more cameras to the system as the configuration diagram shows.
