​
​While the MyRaces.Live streaming services work with any live-streaming gear, we know firsthand how tough it can be to find a setup that’s reliable, easy to use, and doesn't require a professional-racing-team budget.
Over the past two years, we’ve tested all kinds of equipment, so you don’t have to. After lots of trial, error, and trackside tinkering, we landed on the perfect kit for racing teams.
Why we love it:
It’s an all-in-one solution that’s simple to configure, race-tested, reliable, and budget-friendly.

What's included in the kit?
The MineA5 streaming camera with external antennas
All-in-one live streaming solution!
-
Thanks to its 4G LTE nano SIM Card slots, buying and mounting an extra router/hotspot becomes optional.
-
It supports both RTMP with H.264 and SRT with H.265 (for more video/audio compression).
Boosted Cell Signal Reception
-
External 4G Antenna for each sim card
-
Option to include a roof top antenna (magnetic or permanent mount)
Continuous Live Streaming​
-
If the live stream disconnects, it will automatically retry to live stream without human intervention.​
Easy to configure
-
​Configure your live stream destination one time using the touch screen or the phone app, then set the camera to start streaming when powered on.​
Remote control while the car is on track
-
The car is already on track and you want to adjust the audio or video settings of the stream? You can use the Mine Media MLive phone app to remotely connect to the camera and update any settings you'd like while the car is on track!
Redundancy
-
You can livestream and record your video to an SD card at the same time so you don't lose one bit of your race.​

What else is included in the kits?
Our kits include everything needed for mounting the camera onto a roll bar, plus an external Lavalier microphone with a 5ft cable and foam cover that you can position away from the wind to better capture your car's engine sound.​
What is not included?
You'll need to purchase a SIM card and data plan subscription from your favorite Service Provider. The SIM card can be directly inserted into the MINE A5 4G slot.
​
Some teams prefer to use an e-SIM/SIM in a dedicated hotspot, this is not included in this kit and must be purchased separately.
​
If you need a Verizon SIM Card, we can optionally ship one as part of the kit. You can then set up a data plan subscription with Verizon by going to their store or calling our Verizon partner/reseller Eric Kaul (the less frustrating option).
What to look for when choosing your data plan?
​
Device Compatibility (BYOD - Bring Your Own Device)
-
Ensuring that the SIM card and plan are compatible with your device is crucial. Not all plans or SIM cards work with all devices, especially when it comes to specialized equipment like a live streaming camera. Our kits have been tested using Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile SIM Cards.
Bandwidth
-
Unlimited data is typically preferred for live streaming to avoid interruptions, especially during longer sessions. Understanding whether your data is prioritized (i.e., gets slowed down during network congestion) is also important, as it can impact the quality and reliability of your stream.
Speed
-
Streaming video, even at 720p, requires a certain level of consistent data speed. Ensuring that your plan can support this without buffering or lag is essential for maintaining a good viewing experience.​
Price​
-
Comparing prices across providers is a smart move to ensure you get the best value. Additionally, if you own a business, business plans might offer benefits like higher priority service, better customer support, or additional data, which could be worth the cost difference.​​
Figuring out the network coverage at specific tracks
A successful in-car livestream requires reliable data network service all around the racetrack, and more specifically good upload bandwidth and speed. Unfortunately, it's not a given at every racetrack and it varies based on the provider. So before you invest time and money in live-streaming, ask other teams about their experience at the track(s) you plan to stream at, check if live in-car videos exist on Youtube or FB, or click on "Check My Track" to read about the live-streaming experience we and other racing teams have shared.
