Unfortunately it seems that you're SOL for quality direct streaming without an additional encoding step to establish the RTMP component.

This is a good video on the options. OBS is your ticket.

Thx for that... Just watched the YT on OBS. I wasn't clear if it was suggesting you had to have your PC up and running 24x7 whist streaming (using option 1 : Direct Stream with RTSP)? I wouldn't be keen on that! Also, putting your camera PW in the RTSP IP address?!! Is that secure?

Sorry - didn't understand SOL?

Sorry for the abrupt departure earlier.

The pwd is part of the authentication for the security of the stream.

I just experimented with Nelly's approach #1 using OBS and it was butt simple.

And yes, the PC obviously needs to be up and running to facilitate the stream and run the software.

An alternative approach to your objective may be to just use a webcam and a DDNS setup so people can simply access the camera via its own web server and web address. No PC running 24/7 going this route. Once the camera is set up, it's just on.
