Re: How to connect my laptop to my video camera to see exactly what the camera is see


It seems like the problem is more complex than just attaching a camcorder and using the Windows Movie Maker.

If you have a web-cam attached to your laptop you can broadcast video to a single user or multiple users. And you will need a web-cam recording and broadcasting software. This case is easy.

But when you have a video camera there are 2 solutions I can imagine:
  1. Transmit video and audio signal over radio frequency, Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, any other wireless network. Dunno whether there is any device doing that.
  2. Connect your video camera to your laptop via FireWire (or may be your camera supports USB instead). But then a person recording with the video camera should carry a laptop with him

    But you can use any wireless Internet connection (Wi-Fi, Wi-Max,...) to broadcast video from your laptop to a user or multiple users.

    But what software should be used on the laptop? Can freeware VideoLan broadcast video from a video camera?
