Audio Analysis
URL / Stream Ingest
Captures a window of a live stream — RTSP cameras and intercoms, HTTP or Icecast radio, HLS (.m3u8) — and hands it on as one clip.
When to use it
Monitor a live source on a schedule: transcribe a radio feed every hour, or listen to a security camera for breaking glass every few minutes.

Worth knowing
- Each run captures a new window, so put a Schedule Trigger in the flow to keep listening.
- A preview captures 10 seconds. Addresses on private networks are refused unless the server allows them.
- Capturing needs ffmpeg on the server.
