Unfortunately it seems that you're SOL for quality direct streaming without an additional encoding step to establish the RTMP component.

This is a good video on the options. OBS is your ticket.

Hmmmm. Did you check what ONVIF has to offer?

Before going too much further, check for the RTMP option here. This is where the magic happens.

If you can stand by for a few I'd like to look into this a little further from the YouTube side of things to explore the options -- now knowing a bit more about your network and assuming there are some fairly strict security controls in place. In the meantime you can go here to see what your network...

Well, there are other ways besides RTMP to stream to YouTube....

A port scan of your "more convoluted than I thought" network would certainly come in handy. LOL

We need to confirm port 1935 exists in the camera before anything else. Here is a great port scanner that's a clean open source tool that doesn't need to be installed. Just download it and run it when you need it. https://angryip.org/download/#windows It's fairly intuitive and will identify your cam...

Gotcha. And not that convoluted at all.

So no NVR in the way, and presumably a fairly tight network with a certain degree of port control and no wide open upnp?

I guess that clears up the conflict being with the NVR!

Does it go camera > switch > router > cable modem (or to whatever Internet demarc)?

Sorry. I neglected to consider the NVR being in the mix. Which NVR? And is it doing the POE and DHCP for everything vs. an independent switch?

The YouTube stuff will be associated with their required parameters for receiving the stream from the camera and configure externally with them through your channel's user interface..., not anything special configured in the camera except the RTMP port and maybe a change to the TCP port. In this par...
