Configuring an RTSP Server

Axxon Next supports RTSP streaming from cameras (see Get camera live stream and Get archive stream).

To configure an RTSP Server:

1. Select a Server object.

2. In the RTSP port field, specify the port number that will be used for RTSP data transfer (1).
   

3. In the RTSP/HTTP port field, specify the port number for transfer of RTSP data via HTTP tunnel (2).

4. Click the Apply button.

Configuration of the RTSP Server is now complete.

To receive videos from an RTSP server, use the following link format:

• Live rtsp://login:password@IP-Address:554/hosts/HOSTNAME/DeviceIpint.N/SourceEndpoint.video:0:0 - high quality stream
  rtsp://login:password@IP-Address:554/hosts/HOSTNAME/DeviceIpint.N/SourceEndpoint.video:0:1 - low quality stream
• Archive rtsp://login:password@IP-Address:554/archive/hosts/HOSTNAME/DeviceIpint.N/SourceEndpoint.video:0:0/20160907T050548.723000?speed=1

where:

• login:password  -  user login and password in the Axxon Next VMS.
  

  Attention!

  For correct operation of the RTSP Server, a user name has to match the following rules:

  • start with a letter;
  • contain only Latin, numerical and following extra characters: "/", "-", "_", ".", ":", "+".

  
  

• hosts - permanent section of a link.
• HOSTNAME - server name.
• N - camera ID in the Axxon Next VMS.
• SourceEndpoint.video:0:0 - permanent section of a link.
  
• speed - a parameter required for receiving video streams from an Archive.
