RTSP Streaming

To utilize RTSP streaming authentication, make sure that you have set a password for the Network
Camera ﬁrst; please refer to Security on page 34 for details.

Authentication: Depending on your network security requirements, the Network Camera provides three
types of security settings for streaming via RTSP protocol: disable, basic, and digest.
If

basic

authentication is selected, the password is sent in plain text format, but there can be potential

risks of it being intercepted. If

digest

authentication is selected, user credentials are encrypted using

MD5 algorithm, thus providing better protection against unauthorized access.

Access name for stream 1 ~ 5: This Network camera supports multiple streams simultaneously. The
access name is used to differentiate the streaming source.

If you want to use an

RTSP player

to access the Network Camera, you have to set the video mode to

MPEG-4

and use the following RTSP URL command to request transmission of the streaming data.

rtsp://:/

For example, when the access name for

stream 1

is set to

live.sdp

1. Launch an RTSP player.
2. Choose File > Open URL. A URL dialog box will pop up.
3. Type the above URL command in the text box.
4. The live video will be displayed in your player.

rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/live3.sdp
