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

1. Vendor—RTSP (1).
   
2. Model—1_channel_device (2).

3. IP address—the address of RTSP transmission (23). In general, the address has the following format: rtsp://<IP address of RTSP server>:<Port of RTSP server>/<Path>. The RTSP protocol camera connection supports up to three video streams. To connect multiple streams, enter the transmission addresses separated by a semicolon: rtsp://<IP address of RTSP server1>:<Port of RTSP server1>/<Path>; rtsp://<IP address of RTSP server2>:<Port of RTSP server2>/<Path>; rtsp://<IP address of RTSP server3>:<Port of RTSP server3>/<Path>.

   Note
   title Attention!
   Generally, the RTSP Server parameters (port and path) are set via the web interface of the camera. To do so, refer to the reference documentation for a particular camera. If the username or password in a URL contain invalid characters, such as "@", you have to escape these characters with special characters via the ASCII codes (in hexadecimal form). The "@" character is escaped as %40. For example, when connecting a device via RTSP, the link may 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 username and password may can be added to the address to connect to the camera if authentication is required. It is recommended that you refer to the reference documentation for 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/...

• Basic profile provides a more effective usage of resources and a low bitrate video transmission, but may 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 may can be lost or delayed due to poor connection. This may 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.
