Setup with GoPro 7 Black (and later) for live streaming

The feature uses Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) which is supported by the later GoPro's.

Navigate to your camera console page and create a new camera. Then copy the RTMP address which you will then set in your GoPro live stream settings as shown here

Here is a video describing the setup

Overcome the limitations of the GoPro: The gapilots.org Encoder to the rescue.

The GoPro streaming works well in a static environment when connected to a reliable WIFI network. In practice however it is not resilient in poor network conditions: the camera will spontaneously terminate live streaming when flying through a weak signal area or when a change of cellular connection occurs, which is bound to happen on any cross country flight!

The other limitation is that the GoPro App is very finnicky, and can take sometime to set the camera up to stream before departing.

This is where our Network Encoder comes into its own.

• The Encoder has undergone extensive testing, and functions even in very bad signal areas, restarting automatically when traversing a zone with no data network or upon a change or cell tower.
• The Encoder is controlled by a simple ONE BUTTON push, and is integrated into the gapilots.org Flight Recorder App , so the setup is a breeze, and is automatically started when pressing the "start recording" button on the Flight Recorder App and stopped when the flight is ended.
• The encoder can be connected directly to the RT intercom for sound recording, thereby avoiding the need to purchase the (pricey) GoPro audio adapter.
• The Encoder can powered by standard USB charger, or a 12v Car Socket
• The Encoder can be connected to any camera with an HDMI output: it does not have to be a GoPro 7+!

Live preview in the App

You can view the live stream from within the Flight Recorder App itself.

As this is exactly the same video that is displaying on your gapilots.org live tracker page, it means you can now check that your camera is streaming as intended before going flying.

Add multiple cameras, and share them with other pilots

Here you can specify if the camera is installed on the aircraft, or if you just carry it with you when you go flying.

• If you tell the system the camera installed on an aircraft, say G-ABCD, then any member flying on G-ABCS will see that camera in their list
• Otherwise the camera is only visible to you
