In To connect a camera via the RTSP protocol using the IP Device Discovery Wizard (see Searching, adding, configuring and removing IP devices), add a camera via RTSP with the following parameters: 

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

2. Model—1_channel_device (2).

3. IP address—the address of RTSP transmission (3). In general, the address has the following format

   URL of the RTSP feed (2). In general form, the address is as follows

   : rtsp://<IP address of RTSP server>:<Port

   on

   of RTSP server>/<Path>.

   Up

   The RTSP protocol camera connection supports up to three

   simultaneous

   video streams

   are supported from RTSP-connected cameras

   . To

   access

   connect multiple streams, enter the

   relevant RTSP addresses, placing a semi-colon (;) after each address

   transmission addresses separated by a semicolon: rtsp://<IP address of RTSP server1>:<Port

   on

   of RTSP server1>/<Path>; rtsp://<IP address of RTSP server2>:<Port

   on

   of RTSP server2>/<Path>; rtsp://<IP address of RTSP server3>:<Port

   on

   of RTSP server3>/<Path>.

   Note
   title ImportantAttention!
   GenerallyGenerally, the RTSP server Server parameters (port and path) are set through via the web interface of the video camera. To do so, refer to the manufacturer's reference documentation for the video a particular camera.
   Note
   title Important!
   If If the username and/ or password in a URL contain forbidden invalid characters, such as "@", you have to escape these characters with relevant special characters via the ASCII codes to avoid log-in problems(in hexadecimal form). The "@" symbol character is escaped as %40. For example, for when connecting a successful RTSP connection your device's URL may device via RTSP, the link can look like this :  "rtsp://admin:New%40edge@192.168.0.75:554/RVi/1/1".

   
   

   Info
   title Note
   In some cases, the address format may can be different. For example, a user name username and password may can be added to the address for connecting to connect to the video camera if authentication is required. Image Removed Image Added It is recommended that you You are advised to refer to the manufacturer's reference documentation for the video a particular camera. Even if the password field is empty, the address string must include a colon (:). A correct address may can 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 Camera object is will be created. If the address of the RTSP server transmission is correctly specified, the video feed from the camera is shown in a preview tilepreview window will display the image from this camera.

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

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

To set the time in seconds after which a message about the loss of connection with the camera will be displayed, specify the value in the Timeout field in the camera settings.

If you want to set the time in seconds after which the reconnection to the device will take place, specify the value in the Reconnection timeout field.

In the Profile field, you can select the level of the H.264/AVC video codec profile:

• Basic profile provides a more effective usage of resources and a low bitrate video transmission, but can have limited resolution and number of frames per second.
• High profile provides a higher video quality, higher bitrate, higher resolution and more frames per second. High profile is used to transmit high definition video and video at the speed of 60 frames per second.

To receive the RTSP stream via HTTPS, select the Tunneling RTSP over HTTP value for the Transport protocol parameter.

In some cases, packets can be lost or delayed due to poor connection. This can cause some packets to arrive later than the next packets in the transmission order. To change the packet arrival order, set the Yes value in the RTP packet reordering field.

To get good video stream from some cameras, you should select set the No value for the SSRC identifier checking parameter in the video stream settings Image Removed . Sometimes the camera's live stream frame rate can be displayed incorrectly. To display the frame rate more accurately, in the Buffer size parameter, specify a value in milliseconds. The value must be in the range from 50 to 1000 milliseconds, and must be selected empirically.
