<p>Your project requires :</p>

<ul>
<li>a PC with a video ingest card</li>
<li>a software to transcode/mux the video data to an appropriate network format</li>
</ul>

<p>Have a look at <a href="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/streaming.html" rel="nofollow">VLC</a> for the software. depending on the bandwidth available between the camera site and the remote server, you need to determine which bitrate and codec is appropriate.</p>

<p>What is the least painful way to achieve this?:</p>

<ol>
<li><p><strong>Video and audio recording on a HD video camera (NOT a security camera) in XP quality, with 1 HDMI output and WIFI capability</strong></p></li>
<li><p><strong>Somehow connect the camera to a laptop and send the signal live to the Internet</strong> (the distance between laptop and camera is not a problem so I would prefer using HDMI over WIFI because of the problems involving WIFI)</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Destination: a remote server, which will be web streaming the signal to clients</strong> (I'm not in charge of the streaming part, just until the signal reaches the server)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>My trade is computers (I have no problem with the computer part) but I have almost no idea how video and audio recording works, so I would really appreciate basic information or sources. I have tried looking for information and tutorials on this subject but EVERYTHING I can find is related to IP surveillance video cameras, instead of a personal video camera sending the signal to a non-surveillance server.</p>

<p>My plan so far is:</p>

<p>-Record the signal</p>

<p>-Send it to the laptop (I would require a HDMI capture device because the laptop only have 1 HDMI output and not input)</p>

<p>-Establish a VPN (virtual private network) between the laptop and the server over the Internet</p>

<p>-Send the signal from the laptop to the server and store it on a shared folder</p>

<p>Is there a better way? I'm totally open to software and hardware suggestions. Thank you.</p>
