AxxonSoft does not guarantee the proper operation of video cameras connected via the RTSP protocol and does not offer technical support to users in such situations

To connect video cameras via RTSP:

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

  3. In the Address field, enter the address of the RTSP broadcast (2). In general form, the address is as follows: rtsp://<IP address of RTSP server>:<Port on RTSP server>/<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.

 

Important!

If APP_HOST.lpint is empty, in the log management utility, check the detail level of logging for the Axxon Next Server, The recommended detail level is Debug.
