Viewing Video through Third-Party Devices or Software

Viewing Video through Third-Party Devices or Software

You can allow users to access video streams from the IP camera through third-party mobile devices, or through the VLC media player or equivalent software.

To do so, you must configure the RTSP Port option in the Advanced Setup window. This option enables the IP camera to receive Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) commands. For more information, see the “Advanced Setup Window” section on page 3-11.

To access a primary MPEG-4 stream, configure Single MPEG-4 Stream, Dual MPEG-4 Streams, or Dual Streams (MPEG-4 + MJPEG) for the Streaming Mode option in the Video window. These settings lets you enable a primary MPEG-4 video stream, which is useful for providing third-party devices. For more information, see the “Video Window” section on page 3-19.

To access a secondary MPEG-4 stream, configure Dual MPEG-4 Streams for the Streaming Mode option in the Video window. This setting lets you enable a secondary MPEG-4 video stream, which is useful for providing third-party devices or software with a video stream that is at a lower resolution than the primary stream. Some software and devices require this lower resolution, which is 352 x 240 for NTSC or 352 x 288 for PAL. For more information, see the “Video Window” section on page 3-19.

To access an MJPEG stream, configure Single MJPEG Stream or Dual Streams (MPEG-4 + MJPEG) for the Streaming Mode option in the Video window. This setting lets you enable an MJPEG video stream, which is useful for providing third-party devices. For more information, see the “Video Window” section on page 3-19

This section provides examples for how to access various video streams. For related information, see Cisco Video Surveillance API Reference Guide.

Accessing the Primary MPEG-4 Stream by using VLC Player

In the following commands, replace username with your IP camera user ID, replace password with your IP camera password, and replace ip_address with the IP address of the IP camera.

To access the primary MPEG-4 stream with video and audio, enter either of these commands: rtsp://username:password@ip_address/img/media.sdp rtsp://username:password@ip_address/img/media.sav

To access the primary MPEG-4 stream with video only, enter either of these commands: rtsp://username:password@ip_address/img/video.sav http://username:password@ip_address/img/video.asf

To access the primary MPEG-4 stream with audio only, enter this command: rtsp://username:password@ip_address/img/audio.sav

Accessing the Primary MPEG-4 Stream by using Devices or Software other than VLC Player

In the following commands, ip_address with the IP address of the IP camera. After you enter the command, enter your IP camera user name and password when prompted.

To access the primary MPEG-4 stream with video and audio, enter either of these commands: rtsp://ip_address/img/media.sdp

rtsp://ip_address/img/media.sav

To access the primary MPEG-4 stream with video only, enter either of these commands: rtsp://ip_address/img/video.sav
