To utilize RTSP streaming authentication, make sure that you have set a password for the Network

Camera first; please refer to Security on page 34 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.

The availability of the RTSP streaming for the three authentication modes is listed in the following table:
