How to Setup an Amcrest IP Camera for RTMP Streaming to YouTube (IP8M-MD180E-AI)

RTMP stands for real-time messaging protocol. It provides a high-performance transmission of video, and data from an encoder such as an IP camera to a server, which distributes the signal across the internet. Many streaming providers and encode developers support RTMP streaming, including YouTube. This article will demonstrate how to stream the feed from your Amcrest IP camera to a YouTube channel. For more information on how to use RTMP to stream your camera to YouTube, please refer to the information provided below. 

Note: If using RTMP it is optimal to stream using a resolution less than 4MP as this is optimal for YouTube.
