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 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 54a 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 RTSP Server module). More . For more information about this parameter see in Changing , see Change the transport protocol used by IP - device section. |
To receive a video via the RTSP protocol, do the following:
In the IP address
field (3), enter the address of the RTSP stream. The length of the address
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
, the address looks like this:
rtsp://[<username>:<password>@]<IP address of video source >:<port>/<path_to_stream>.
| title | Example |
|---|
For the Axis 210A camera, the address of
the RTSP stream looks like this:
rtsp://root:password@10.0.11.121:554/mpeg4/media.amp
| Info | |
|---|---|
|
| |
| The address to access |
| the RTSP stream delivered by the RTSP server of Axxon PSIM, looks like rtsp://192.168.0.3:554/1. When |
| the RTSP server operates in |
| the Multicast mode, you cannot access it |
| via the RTSP grabber. |
Besides, starting with the Drivers Pack v. 3.2.28.1518
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 ";".

To get video from two streams, |
enter rtsp://admin:admin@10.0.26.16/live/h264;rtsp://admin:admin@10.0.26.16/live/mjpeg in the IP address field. |
Starting with the Drivers Pack 3.62.2953 version,
the system supports receiving the RTSP stream over HTTPS
. To do this, you must set the HTTPS transport protocol using the RTSP registry key beforehand (for more information about this parameter, see Change the transport protocol used by IP
).Example of the link for receiving
the RTSP stream over HTTPS
:
https://192.168.0.3:443/profile1/media.smp;
https://admin:admin@192.168.0.3:443/profile2/media.smp.
| Note | |

|
|
When you transmit the username or password |
that contains invalid characters, including "@" |
,via URL, they |
must be screened using ASCII codes (hexadecimal format). The "@" character |
is screened as %40. For |
example, when |
you connect the device over RTSP the link can look like "rtsp://admin:New%40edge@192.168.0.75:554/RVi/1/1". |
However, if this data is in the login and password fields of the Video capture device |
object in Axxon PSIM, |
they stay the same |
. In this case, "admin" and "New@edge" correspondingly. |
If In case the configuration is correct, the video received via the RTSP protocol is displayed in the viewing area. Further 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 For this, select the RTSP type of the Audio audio card (see Registration of audio cards and microphones in Axxon PSIM™ software).
Further actions with received the audio stream are performed using the created Microphone object.
