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

To configure the RTSP server, do the following:

  1. Go to the Devices tab.
  2. Select the Server object (see The Server object).

  3. In the Web-server properties section, in the RTSP port field, specify the port number that you want to use to transfer data via RTSP protocol.

  4. Click the Apply  button.

Configuration of the RTSP server is complete.

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

Live videoHigh-quality streamrtsp://login:password@IP address:554/hosts/HOSTNAME/DeviceIpint.N/SourceEndpoint.video:0:0
Low-quality streamrtsp://login:password@IP address:554/hosts/HOSTNAME/DeviceIpint.N/SourceEndpoint.video:0:1

You cannot receive video from cameras with MJPEG codec from the RTSP server. To receive video from cameras from the RTSP server, you must change the codec of cameras.
