Don't know where else to put this, or if this question is answered elsewhere.
I've been googling for hours on OBS and can't seem to find an easy answer to my questions.
Please feel free to move this to the right place, and point me to the answer.
  1. How many cameras feeds can OBS have?
  2. Is there a way to add IP Cameras not attached to the physical machine. Like those cheapish security cameras.
    1. Is there a way to control those cameras from OBS?
  3. Is there a way for live streams from Cell phones to ace as cameras?
  4. Can I add streams from other devices on my network. I have a lot of PC's, Macs, and don't mind plopping an RPi where I need a camera.
  5. Can I "broadcast" to multiple networks? Like Twitch, Facebook, and YouTube all at the same time.

You need a service like Restream or a own server for distribute this.
