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.

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).

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).
