Encoding raw h.264 data to browser via Dash

I have a live stream of raw h264 (no container) coming from a remote webcam. I wanna stream it live in browser using DASH. DASH requires creating mpd file (and segmentation). I found tools (such as mp4box) that accomplish that in static files, but i'm struggling to find a solution for live streams. any suggestions - preferably using node.js modules?

Threads i have checked:

  1. mp4box - from one hand i saw this comment that states " You cannot feed MP4Box with some live content. You need to feed MP4Box -live with pre-segmented chunks." on the other hand there's a lot of people directing to this bitmovin tutorial which does implement a solution using mp4box. In the toturial they are using mp4box (which has a node.js api implementation) and x264 (which doesn't have node.js module? or is contained in ffmpeg/mp4box?)
  2. ngnix - ngnix has a module that support streaming to DASH using rtmp. for exemple in this toturial. I prefer not to go this path - as mention i'm trying to do it all in node.js.

Although i read couple of posts with similar problem, I couldn't find a suitable solution. Help would be much appreciated!
