To receive multimedia the video stream from a camera via the RTSP protocol, the camera is to must support this protocol. Information on RTSP support is in For the information indicating the support of the RTSP protocol by the camera, refer to the official reference documentation for the of this camera.

For proper operation of the RTSP grabber functionality, make sure that there are no network settings of the used hardware that prevent data transmission via the RTSP protocol.

Info
titleNote.

To If you want to receive the RTSP stream it's required to that comes from the RTSP server of Axxon PSIM (seeConfiguring the RTSP Server module), then you must set the multicast value to the rtsp RTSP parameter in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AxxonSoft\PSIM\Video\TransportProtocols registry key for a 32-bit system (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\AxxonSoft\PSIM\Video\TransportProtocols for a 64-bit system) registry section on the computer where the Camera object is created if RTSP stream is received from the rtsp-server of the Axxon PSIM software (see Configuring the RTSP Server module). More . For more information about this parameter see in , see Changing the transport protocol used by IP-device section.

To receive a video via the RTSP protocol, do the following:

  1. Create the Video Capture Devicecapture device object under on the basis of the Computer object in on the Hardware tab of the System settings dialog box window (1).

  2. Go to the settings panel for of the created object.
  3. Select the RTSP value in From the Type dropdown list (2), select the RTSP value.
  4. Type-in In the IP address of rtsp-stream in the IP field (3), enter the address of the RTSP stream. The length of the address is not to be longer than must not exceed 100 characters.

    The format of the address depends on the camera model and its firmware. It is specified in the technical documentation of the vendor. Generally it , the address looks like this: 
    rtsp://[<username>:<password>@]<IP address of video source >:<port>/<path_to_stream>

    .

    For the Axis 210A camera, the address of

    rtsp-sream

    the RTSP stream looks like this:
    rtsp://root:password@10.0.11.121:554/mpeg4/media.amp

    Info
    titleExample Note
    The address to access rtsp-the RTSP stream delivered by rtsp Server the RTSP server of Axxon PSIM, looks like rtsp://192.168.0.3:554/1. When rtsp Server the RTSP server operates in the the Multicast mode, you cannot access it cannot be accessed via the RTSP grabber.

    Receiving multiple streams via the RTSP driver has been implemented in Besides, starting with the Drivers Pack v. 3.2.28.1518 and over. Maximum 3 streams are supported. RTSP addresses are semi-colon version, the system supports receiving multiple streams via the RTSP protocol (multistreaming). In this case, the maximum possible number of streams is three. RTSP stream addresses are separated in the IP address field by the semicolon ";".

    Info
    titleExample

    To get video from two streams, specify enter rtsp://admin:admin@10.0.26.16/live/h264;rtsp://admin:admin@10.0.26.16/live/mjpeg in the IP address field.
    To get video from three streams:
    rtsp://admin:admin@10.0.26.16/live/h264;rtsp://admin:admin@10.0.26.16/live/mjpeg;rtsp://admin:admin@10.0.26.16/live/mpeg4

    Starting with the Drivers Pack 3.62.2953 version, the receipt of an RTSP the system supports receiving the RTSP stream over HTTPS stream is supported.Before using this feature, first set the https transport protocol in the rtsp registry key (. To do this, you must set the HTTPS transport protocol using the RTSP registry key beforehand (for more information about this parameter, see Changing the transport protocol used by IP-device for details on this parameter). Example of the link for receiving an the RTSP stream over HTTPS stream:

    titleExample.

    https://192.168.0.3:443/profile1/media.smp;


    https://admin:admin@192.168.0.3:443/profile2/media.smp.

    Note
    titleImportantAttention!

    If there are invalid characters in When you transmit the username or password (for instance, that contains invalid characters, including "@" ),via URL, they are to must be screened using ASCII codes (hexadecimal format). The "@" character will be is screened as %40. For instanceexample, when connecting you connect the device over RTSP the link can look like "rtsp://admin:New%40edge@192.168.0.75:554/RVi/1/1". But However, if this data is in the login and password fields of the Video capture device in object in Axxon PSIM, then they stay the same . In this case, "admin" and "New@edge" correspondingly.

  10. Click the Video button to field to check if the video is available (7).

If In case the configuration is correct, the video received via the RTSP protocol is displayed in the viewing area. Further actions with the received video stream are performed using the created Camera object.  

Configuring video receipt via the Video-streaming via RTSP protocol is now configuredcomplete.

To receive an audio stream from a camera, you must create and configure the the Audio card and Microphone objects for the audio stream from a camera that is received via the RTSP protocol. For this, select the RTSP type of the Audio audio card (see Registration of audio cards and microphones in Axxon PSIM™ software).
