Streaming from a Live Stream Camera to OBS Studio

Hi everybody.
I need help on how to make OBS Studio capture the Live Streaming of my Veo Camera.
The Veo Camera needs a Stream Key to stream on to, but it seems OBS Studio has no stream key for input.
Has anyone had a similar problem? please help me find a solution.
I need to stream to OBS Studio in order to capture the streaming before sending it to Youtube, to add sound, comments and other things.
Appreciate any help.

Thanks!
 
This isn't my area of expertise, but what I think you are looking for is to either VLC (in OBS Studio) or similar as your receiver.
Typically camera connections are USB, HDMI or SDI (into capture card) or NDI... and you'd be better off setting up such
Some folks use security other other such cameras using RTSP, and there are workarounds to support such inputs
So if you must using a streaming output from the Veo camera, You MUST get into the details on EXACTLY what output protocols the Veo camera supports. And that match that with a either one of the native workarounds, or 3rd party plugins to act as a receiver.

Beware most video codecs are lossy, so there will be video image quality loss when the camera compresses to 'livestream' and then when OBS Studio re-encodes that same video. ... similar in concept as VHS tape copies back in the 80's... degradation just isn't as noticeable per genration... but still there. For best video quality, you'll want the least compressed/highest bandwidth output the camera offers *assuming* your computer can handle the real-time re-encoding (computationally demanding, hence many folks offload that to a dedicated chip on a GPU)
 
To pull in an incoming stream (RTMP/RTSP/HLS) as a source in OBS, add a Media Source and paste the stream URL into the 'Input' field. If your Veo camera exposes a direct stream URL you can do it that way. If it only streams to the Veo cloud, the fallback is a Window Capture aimed at the Veo web player in your browser — not as clean but gets the job done without needing a direct stream URL.

The problem is that the Veo Cam streams to any URL pasted in the "output" field (Youtube, Twitch, Facebook, etc). The problem is that OBS Studio has no URL for receiving streamings, that's the issue I have no idea how to solve...
 
Right, OBS doesn't have a built-in RTMP receiver so Veo can't push directly into it. The fix on Mac is running a local nginx-rtmp server - point Veo to rtmp://127.0.0.1/live/stream as the destination, then add a Media Source in OBS with that same URL. I'd contact Veo support first though, since some sports cameras also expose an RTSP pull URL that OBS can consume directly through Media Source without needing any server setup.
