GoPro

The recent launch of the wearable camera -the GoPro Hero7 Black includes a major streaming feature update. Due to requests from many customers around the world the Hero7 Black, Hero 8 and Hero 9, now includes a custom RTMPS live streaming feature which supports Incendium’s secure live streaming platform called incidentshare.com™.

This means that the GoPro Hero now will let you live stream directly to our secure streaming site called incidentshare™.com as well as other services that works with an RTMPS URL.

It requires a Wi-Fi network in order to work but you can easily use the Stream Pack™ mini to create a secure personal hotspot and through that, the GoPro can stream at 480p or 720p.
