Configuring the Axxon Camera mobile client on Android OS

Configuring the Intellect/Axxon Next server

To transfer video from the Android device camera to the Intellect/Axxon Next server, 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.

   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:

   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.

   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:

   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.

     Note

     For details about configuring IP cameras in Axxon Next see Adding and removing IP devices, in Intellect see Configuring IP devices.
