Chapter 6 – CDNs and Clients
Introduction
HELO must be configured to operate with a Content Delivery Network (CDN)
when streaming via RTMP, using information provided for that specific network.
Similary when using RTSP specific client information is required.
Caution! Do not share your streaming credentials with anyone. That information
allows anyone to access and stream to your channel without your knowledge
or permission. CDNs will not ask for a stream key by email, so ignore any such
requests. HELO stored presets contain streaming credentials. If you share an
exported preset to someone, that person can extract the credentials. Before
loaning the device to someone, or returning it as a rental, the factory reset
button should be used to clear the device of sensitive information.
NOTE: HELO sends unencrypted credentials to CDNs.
