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 3-7.

You also may choose to enable the MPEG-4 Settings 2 options in the Video window. These options let you enable a secondary 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 3-14.

After you configure the RTSP port and, optionally, the secondary video stream, users access streams from the IP camera as follows:

Accessing the Primary 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 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 stream with video only, enter this command: rtsp://username:password@ip_address/img/video.sav

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

Accessing the Primary 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 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 stream with video only, enter this command: rtsp://ip_address/img/video.sav

•To access the primary stream with audio only, enter this command: rtsp://ip_address/img/audio.sav

Accessing the Primary Stream by using VLC Player

In the following command, replace username with your IP camera user ID, replace password with your IP camera password, replace ip_address with the IP address of the IP camera, and replace code with the Access Code that you configured for the secondary stream in the Video window.
