Yealink explores Yealink's simplified explanations of common business communication terms regarding the application of three major communication devices, IP Phones, Video Conferencing Equipment and Headsets running on Microsoft, Zoom and other systems, in business work.

A "stream from camera" refers to the continuous transmission of live video data from a camera to a device, network, or platform over the internet or a local network. This streaming process allows real-time viewing, recording, or broadcasting of the video content captured by the camera without the need for physical storage media or direct wired connections between the camera and the viewer's device.

Here's how it typically works:

1. Capture: A camera, which can be a standalone device, a built-in webcam, a smartphone camera, or a specialized IP camera, captures video footage.

2. Encoding: The raw video data is then encoded by the camera or an attached device into a digital format compatible with streaming, such as H.264 or H.265. Encoding also involves compressing the video to manage bandwidth requirements for efficient transmission.

3. Transmission: The encoded video stream is sent over the internet or a local network to a server, a content delivery network (CDN), or directly to the viewer's device. This can be done via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, cellular data, or other network connections.

4. Decoding: The receiving device (a computer, mobile phone, smart TV, or another compatible device) decodes the stream back into viewable video content.

5. Display: The decoded video is then displayed in real-time on the viewer's screen, allowing for live monitoring, interaction (in case of two-way communication), or recording for later playback.

Streaming from a camera is widely used in various applications, including:

• Live video broadcasting on social media platforms or websites.

• Surveillance and security systems where remote monitoring is required.

• Video conferencing for business meetings or personal communications.

• Live events coverage, such as sports, concerts, or webinars.

• Internet of Things (IoT) devices for home automation and monitoring.

This technology enables instant sharing and access to visual information, making it a vital part of modern communication and surveillance infrastructure.
