RTSP Streaming

To utilize RTSP streaming authentication, make sure that you have set a password for the Network Camera first; please refer to Security on page 35 for details.

Authentication: Depending on your network security requirements, the Network Camera provides three

types of security settings for streaming via RTSP protocol: disable, basic, and digest.

If basic authentication is selected, the password is sent in plain text format, but there can be potential risks of it being intercepted. If digest authentication is selected, user credentials are encrypted using MD5 algorithm, thus providing better protection against unauthorized access.

Access name for stream 1 ~ 5: This Network camera supports multiple streams simultaneously. The access name is used to differentiate the streaming source.

If you want to use an RTSP player to access the Network Camera, you have to set the video mode to MPEG-4and use the following RTSP URL command to request transmission of the streaming data. rtsp://<ip address>:<rtsp port>/<access name for stream1 ~ 5>

For example, when the access name for stream 1 is set to live.sdp:

1.Launch an RTSP player.

2.Choose File > Open URL. A URL dialog box will pop up.

3. Type the above URL command in the text box.

4. The live video will be displayed in your player.
