Configuring connection of video cameras via RTSP

Axxon Next can relay audio and video over RTSP.

To connect video cameras via RTSP:

1. To add a Video camera object, click the  button.
2. In the list of manufacturers, select RTSP (2).
   

3. In the Address field, enter the address of the RTSP broadcast (1). In general form, the address is as follows: rtsp://<IP address of RTSP server>:<Port on RTSP server>/<Path>.

   Up to three simultaneous video streams are supported from RTSP-connected cameras. To access multiple streams, enter the relevant RTSP addresses, placing a semi-colon (;) after each address: rtsp://<IP address of RTSP server1>:<Port on RTSP server1>/<Path>; rtsp://<IP address of RTSP server2>:<Port on RTSP server2>/<Path>; rtsp://<IP address of RTSP server3>:<Port on RTSP server3>/<Path>.

   Important!

    Generally, RTSP server parameters (port and path) are set through the web interface of the video camera. To do so, refer to the manufacturer's documentation for the video camera

   Note

   In some cases, the address format may be different. For example, a user name and password may be added to the address for connecting to the video camera.

   

   You are advised to refer to the manufacturer's documentation for the video camera.

4. Click the Apply button.

The Video camera object is created. If the address of the RTSP server is correctly specified, the video feed from the camera is shown in a preview tile.

If video is unavailable, examine the log file APP_HOST.lpint, which is located in the folder <Axxon Next installation folder>\AxxonNext\Logs.
