7.3 RTMP live streaming
Introduction
Streaming services pushed through the device's WEB page are only transmitted through a single network.
If you need to transmit through an aggregated link, please refer to the section on bonding services.
⚫The bonding service adopts Kiloview’s patented algorithm (KiloLink) to solve the problem of weak
network transmission. According to the signal strength of each network, it is intelligently adjusted,
and it maximizes the bandwidth of all network links for transmission.
⚫The bonding service can dynamically adjust the code rate. When the network link bandwidth is not
enough, the code rate is automatically reduced to adapt to the current link bandwidth; when the link
bandwidth is sufficient, it will smoothly increase to the code rate configured by the encoding.
⚫When network packet loss occurs, the aggregated link will retransmit through multiple network links
to keep the video stable and smooth.

First, add an RTMP push point on the device side. Click "Encoding and Media Streaming" --
- "Encoding and Streaming Parameter Settings", and then click "Add a Streaming Service"
under the H.264 main stream, and select "RTMP Push" in the pop-up window ", after
confirming, generate a push point.
Take FACEBOOK as an example, first obtain the RTMP push URL on the live platform. Login
to FACEBOOK, click "Live Video" to enter the live room, and click "Use Stream Key" for live
broadcast. Fill in the URL of live broadcast and Stream Key into the URL address of the RTMP
push point, and start the streaming service. You can see the video in the live broadcast room.
