I have a 1080p HDMI video feed that I would like to connect to a webcam server to them allow the video feed to be embedded on a website.

The only feature I would really like is the ability to overlay a logo or image on top of the video feed.

If it's possible to add a bit of delay to the video, that'd be great too.

This is something that needs to be set and forget - it's not going to be in a location that is easily accessible so when turned on, needs to just work. Remote management would be awesome!

Can anyone recommend a product?

I would have thought this was right up a PHer’s street?!

if you have a static IP, or don't need it outside of the local network, there is some Javascript to pull the feed from a cheap P2P IP Camera onto a website. The overlay etc not sure about.

We are looking to do something similar, I have played with a twitterbot with Raspberry PI, and I know you can use it to live stream on motion detection too. But not reached an affordable solution yet.
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I already have the HDMI feed that I want to stream.

Have seen this, thank you, however I am not keen on something that runs on a windows box - this is going to be located off site and I don’t want to rely on the windows (un)reliability!
