Configuring the Intellect/Axxon Next server

The mobile client has two modes of operation: RTSP server and RTMP. The mode is selected in the mobile client settings.

To transfer video from the Android device camera to the Intellect/Axxon Next server in the RTMP mode, do the following:

1. Make sure that the Java Runtime Environment and Node.js. are installed on the Intellect/Axxon Next server.

2. Download and install the livestream_setup.exe distribution kit with the Livestream and rtmp2rtsp services. The default services installation directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\Livestream.

   Info
   title Note
   The Livestream service creates several virtual ONVIF cameras that are added to the Intellect/Axxon Next server configuration. The rtmp2rtsp service receives the RTMP stream, then converts it to RTSP and directs it to the server's virtual ONVIF camera.

   
   

3. After you install the services, you can set the following parameters using the Windows system variables:

   Code Block
   LIVESTREAM_ONVIF_COUNT \\ number of virtual ONVIF cameras, default = 5 LIVESTREAM_ONVIF_PORT \\ port of the first virtual camera. All other cameras receive the port in order, default = 1961.

   
   

   Note
   title Attention!
   The specified ports should not be blocked by a firewall. To apply the changes, it is necessary to restart the services using the restart.bat batch file located in the services installation directory.

   
   

4. After you start the services, the livestream.out.log file will appear in the installation directory. This file contains url for each camera to send and receive video from the Android device, for example:

   Code Block
   onvif device started at port 1961 onvif device url = http://host:1961/onvif/device_service push video to url = rtmp://host:1935/TOKEN/1961 video url = rtsp://localhost:1937/TOKEN/1961

   
   

5. Manually add IP cameras to Intellect/Axxon Next and specify the following parameters:
   • Type (manufacturer) - ONVIF 2.x;
   • IP address - 127.0.0.1;

   • Port - the camera port number from the "onvif device url" string in the livestream.out.log file.

To transfer video from the Android device camera to the Intellect/Axxon Next server in the RTSP server mode, do the following:

1. Create a video capture device operating over the RTSP protocol (for Axxon Next see Configuring connection of video cameras via RTSP, for Intellect see Configuring multimedia receipt using RTSP protocol).
2. Specify the URL from the application in the settings of this device:
   Image Added
