In IP Device Discovery Wizard, add a camera via RTSP with the following parameters: 

  1. In the list of manufacturers, select RTSP (1).

  2. URL of the RTSP feed (2). 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.

    Important!

     If the username and/or password contain forbidden characters, such as "@", you have to escape these characters with relevant ASCII codes to avoid log-in problems. The "@" symbol is escaped as %40. For example, for a successful RTSP connection your device's URL may look like this: "rtsp://admin:New%40edge@192.168.0.75:554/RVi/1/1".

    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.

    Even if the password field is empty, the address string must include a colon (:).

    A correct address may look like this: rtsp://user:@10.10.27.50:10017/...

    An example of an incorrect address: rtsp://user@10.10.27.50:10017/...

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.

Note

Port, Login and Password can not be edited. These settings are specified in the URL of the feed.

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

Important!

If APP_HOST.lpint is empty, in the log management utility, check the detail level of logging for the Axxon One Server (see Configuring Logging levels), The recommended detail level is Debug.

RTSP streaming over HTTPS is supported. To set this option, set the Transport Protocol parameter to Tunneling RTSP over HTTPS.

Important!

To get good video from some cameras, you should select No for the SSRC identifier checking in the video settings
